Yellowstone River


7" x 9" - oil on canvas panel

My husband likes to fly-fish. More accurately, he loves, loves, loves to fly-fish. Although I don't share his love of fishing, I do appreciate the opportunity to paint outdoors. While my husband spends hours flogging the river, I set up camp and paint. Plein-air painting has allowed each of us to do something that we enjoy and still spend time together.

I painted this study in Montana last July. My husband and his father were fishing just upstream along the bank of the Yellowstone River. I have enlarged this study and today I varnished the finished painting.

Also, if you are at all interested in fly-fishing or breakfast burritos then please visit my husband's blog. He is great story-teller and is going to talk about all things related to fly-fishing. Enjoy!
