We watched this black bear rummaging around up on the mountainside most of the day, then in the evening he began to work his way down the hill toward us. We realized he wasn’t interested in us, but after gorging all day with pine nuts scavenged from squirrels caches and eating grubs and any other goodies he could find he was very thirsty and was headed down to the waterfall below us on the hillside. He past us only yards away where I got this view of him.

I’m thinking of eventually doing a full body image on a larger scale, but of course that will require a lot more time than a small daily painting such as this. If anyone is interested in a larger view, let me know. He was one of the largest black bears I’ve seen.

Anyone who watches my blog knows I can’t pass up an old weathered door. This one I discovered in the abandoned gold rush town of Bannack, Montana. The broken chain tells the story of a town and buildings that were deserted because the gold gave out and everyone left the town, now village turned into a museum of old western gold rush lore. The broken chain on the door reflects the story of the abandoned search for gold as the buildings were left to bleach in the hot desert sun of southwest Montana.

This is the final and finished posting of “Bighorn in Twilight”. I’m posting the finished image here with the three step-by-step progress images below for comparison. You can read about the steps in previous postings below. Because of the twilight colors the painting has very subtle tones that may be hard to see on your computer screen. Clicking on the image for a larger view may help but will likely not give the full range of colors in the painting. Thanks for following the development of this image and waiting for the finished work.

We traveled for almost a month in this area and photographed and painted many images. This was painted in early morning with a view of the Tetons from the east side. I was overwhelmed by the immense space and light of these magnificent mountains.

Back in the studio

I'm back in the studio painting after a one month break of painting outings and photo shoots in South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota. I'll be posting new work soon.
