Art and Words

We painted all day on this farm, bordering the Gallatin River.  It was a beautiful day, despite the wildfire smoke settling in.  At one point in the day two busloads of kids came with summer camp folks, to play in the river.  They were delightfully curious about the paintings our class was working on, even to the point of helping carry equipment, etc.  Charming boys, full of life.    Folks can go just about anywhere in Montana and find a river to jump into and play in.   We saw quite a few people come and go that day.  I can't blame them.  The area is beautiful........I got this sketched in during class and finished it just this week.  I put it away for a few weeks, to think about what I wanted to do with it.
