I feel this is my most successful painting of the group. It is a mile and half to the over look and another mile and a half down to the lake.

Glacier Morning 8"x10" oil on mahogony
I did this at 6:30 in the morning on Going to the sun road, looking southwest. This painting was accepted to the Yellowstone Art Museum Auction in March 2008
Glacier Cliffs 8"x10" oil on mahogony
This and the next painting Renolds were on the trail up to Hidden Lake, the smoke from all the Montana fires rolling through gave these mountains a very abstract quality that I enjoyed capturing. All that I was able to see was there silhouette and there snow at the bottom. As I painted there was a rock chuck that continuously bothered, me begging for food and checking my pack, I thought he was going to go for my foot a couple times.
Smokie skies 9"x14 oil on mahogony
I'm not sure about this painting, I did it with a large 3" brush and the skies changed every second. The smoke became so thick that everything had a hazy edge.
Glacier Sunrise 9"x14" oil on mahogony
Another view from Going-to-the-sun road, it was a beautiful morning to paint.
Tunnel 9"x14"
As I painted the tunnel the wind was crazy, There was a lot of dirt and dust that kept getting into the painting. I almost lost my tripod and paints over the cliff, luckly I caught them.
