This could be sub-titled “Uncle Bob II”, since it was inspired by everyone’s favorite mountain-painting uncle, Bob Ross.
This was painted on a deep, gallery-wrapped canvas. It is 24″ x 48″! Crazy, right? My arm got sore painting the thing!
From Wikipedia:
Grand Teton National Park is an American national park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. Grand Teton National Park is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service–managed John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding national forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18-million-acre (73,000-square-kilometer) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the world’s largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems.
I had a great time painting this, even though it did take a long time. Part of that was due ti the cold weather (I paint in an unheated garage) and the holidays taking up a lot of my free time.
I have also discovered that I definitely need more room! I paint in a very small space, and this painting is now drying on my easel. I can’t start another until this one can be moved to a wall in the house to “cure”.
Hopefully the next house has enough space so a studio can be set up and I have way more room to create. I think I may post pics of it once it is established. Maybe even a link to a video. If I am really brave, I will include pics of what I have now LOL.
Of course it’s for sale! Just ask!
