Provo River Falls V

Every time I go up to Provo Falls, I find another scene that I just have to paint. So here is another one. Hope you like it.

Moose Falls # 4

This view of the falls is to get in some of the beautiful creek below the falls. It is located in Yellowstone National Park. One of my favorite spots. I never pass this up.

Cave Falls

Cave Falls, Fall River, Yellowstone National Park. This is at the end of an 18 mile dirt road in the south west corner of the park. Well worth the drive.

Provo River Falls IV

This little painting (12X16) is the 4th from this area. We took family pictures here because there is a mile of beautiful rock formations and water falls. This painting was a Christmas present to my wife (It also saved me from shopping!). Provo Falls is in the High Uinta Mountains, Utah. It is an absolutely fascinating place to visit. Take the whole family!

Lower Yellowstone Falls

This is Lower Yellowstone Falls, Yellowstone Natianal Park. The Yellowstone River falls 308 ft into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. This is painted from Uncle Toms Trail about 250 feet from the top. It drops into the canyon along the rock cliffs. You can almost hear the roar of the falls, and feel the mist on your face. The painting is 48"X36"

Big Cottonwood Canyon

We were in Salt Lake City and decided to take a drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Fall was in the air, and we hiked about a half mile along side Big cottonwood creek. The sun was just going behind the mountain putting us in the shadow, but still illuminating the trees. We were almost running to catch the fleeting sun light. I have painted several scenes from that afternoon. See if you can find all of them.

Provo Falls I

I can't say enough about this section of the Provo River. To me it is like going to Disneyland to the kids. There a five paintings so far and who knows how many more. The whole family can enjoy a day here. Take a picnic and have fun.

Provo Falls II

Each time I go to Provo River Falls I get different lighting and a different mood. If you have never bean there, make plans for this summer. I'll see you there.

Moose Falls III

Moose Falls is 50 yds off the main highway in Yellowstone National Park. 95% of tourists never know it's there. How sad! Its a beautiful falls from any angle. 

Mesa Falls

Upper Mesa Falls, Island Park, Idaho. This is the North Fork of the Snake River as it runs through the canyon. I have fished the rapids below the falls, using crayfish that you can pickup in the shallow water at the edge. Great sport! We stopped by here on our Honeymoon. My bride was so impressed, she cried. We also saw a black bear come down for a drink.

Moose Falls II

This painting is my personal favorite of Moose Falls. I had to climb down between some rocks get this view.

Moose Falls I

I call this painting Moose Falls I. The actual 1st painting sold at the Freedom Festival in Provo, Utah many years ago, and I don't have any photogaphs of it. I'm sure there wiil be several more later on.

Provo River Falls III

Each trip I take to Provo River Falls, I have different lighting. This was earlier in the morning on an high overcast day with the sun peeking through every now and then. The shadows were darker and the colors slightly muted.

Hidden Falls



  Hidden Falls is just that. If you want to veiw the falls you have to hike around Jenny Lake, Grand Teton National Park, or take a boat across. It is well worth the hike or the ride.
