It is my pleasure to be the Artist in Residence to capture the beauty of Glacier Creek in paint! This morning Michaela and I hiked down to the creek, as we so often do, with the grandsons. Casper and Kirby LOVE throwing rocks into the rushing water. I have seen families gathering up river a bit, so Casper and I explored the trail to find a park at water's edge. Tuxedo Park was lovely, with still water for the kids and picnic tables, too. After much play, I was sketching this scene as the others hiked back for lunch. A lovely family joined me, and the children gathered around to see what I was doing. I shared my methods as they asked questions, and it was SO sweet. I hope I've inspired them to take their sketch supplies outside. They may be our next plein air artists! This painting is now available at the Library in the YMCA of the Rockies. Painting number 4558 in 4558 days.
