Grand Prismatic - An Acrylic Painting

It was a very chaotic January here and working on this painting was the only thing that kept me sane. I found myself picking up the brush every free moment that I got. Relived my visit to Yellowstone and felt I was painting this standing on the steep hill from where I took the photo from. Can't wait to go back.


It was quite a process to transfer that painting that was floating in my head to the canvas. Here is a little WIP video of the painting. Done on a 40 X 30 Canvas with Acrylic.

WIP - The Grand Prismatic

Thank God for Long Weekends and the extra time that I get to work on my paintings. Here is a WIP on a 40 X 30 canvas.

Tetons and the Moulton Barn

Trying to finish up some of the unfinished paintings here. I have always enjoyed looking at the rustic barns in CA. But this is painting of the most photographed barn in the US - Moulton Barn from Grand Teton National Park based on a photo from our road trip there last summer.

I did some sketchings during our stay in the park but not on this location. During our early morning visit we encountered so many bisons around the barn. Some were cute little calfs..

And others were ready to fight..

The whole place was pretty much flooded with bisons, it was an amazing experience.

This particular painting is done impasto style completely with knife and with water soluble oil. Hope you like it.
