Oxbow Bend


Jackson Hole is a favorite place of mine. I used to live in Jackson. The nearby Yellowstone N. P. and the closer lesser known Teton N.P. are wonderful places for a plein air landscape painter like me. This particular littl watercolor was done at the Oxbow Bend in the Snake River. It is a very popular turnout because of the views. What isn't as well known however, is that if you take the dirt road on around the corner you can have even more spectacular views and a much more intimate view of the river. At this spot, the water is wide and lazily flows along. The relatively calm surface reflects the fall colors on the banks. This little painting is for sale at my gallery.
