"Grand Canyon Yellowstone" 9 x 12 in.
Today was probably the worst air quality day I have ever experienced in Idaho. There is so much smoke and pollution in the air right now it's not even healthy to breath. Fire season has hit Idaho's forests pretty hard and it's really gotten bad of late. I think the trade winds must have blown all the smoke into the valley and the sun is a eery orange ball in the sky. Top that off with 95 degrees and it pretty much sucks out.
Having said all that I haven ventured outside to do anything, let alone paint. So I did a studio version from a photo of a recent trip to Yellowstone.
If you live someplace where the air isn't going to give you lung cancer consider yourself lucky!
We don't have lots of forests here, but we do have lots of fires, huge ones in fact. We have been fortunate that they have not been so bad this year. Most of what could burn burned last year and it was too dry for it to grow back. Still enjoying your easel. This painting looks great.
