Last summer I painted in a Glacier Park painting event. While driving around, my hubby & I passed a picturesque farm north of Bigfork a couple of times before it called me back to paint their red barn, "Ranger Springs Farm". As I was painting the barn, the owner introduced himself and invited me down to come paint where ever and whatever I wanted, extending the invite to any other painters I knew. How great is that, yes please!
After I completed the barn, we headed down to see what scenic treasures awaited. This beautiful natural spring was the most gorgeous emerald color and even though rain was moving in, I had to paint. Doug, the manager, let us kick around for the afternoon and I totally loved the invite to hang out and paint his farm.
Rain ended the painting before I was done so this painting is a new studio version using last summer's plein air as reference.
