    Behind the visitor center at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge in Washington State. Not sure I’m done with it, but it’s close.

    18 X 24 inches. The current administration is bent on destroying places like this. If you would like to prevent that, you know what to do on election day.

    A painting is never really done as long as I can get my hands on it.

    Beautiful place, why would anyone want to destroy it?

    C&C always welcome. Michelle

    Nicely done.

    You can bet I’ll be hitting the polls on election day. RESIST!

    Hey, Michelle. Thank you for taking a moment to comment.

    Greed. Some of our national parks contain significant mineral and energy deposits. Our national forests contain billions of board feet of prime timber. Local farmers encroach on taxpayer-owned land for grazing and crops.

    Things got so bad that ten of twelve members of the National Parks Advisory Board resigned together.

    Normal Z out with the lot of them.

            The such a beautiful place and you’ve captured it so well! Now go up to the Hoh and capture that too.

            Thomas, art is political. Why do you think totalitarian societies control it so tightly?

            Gayle, thank you and I will do my best to get there.

                I don’t see art as political where I live…thanks for the warning. I didn’t know who you were: now I do. Nice painting but it leans a bit to the left.

                Looks like a lovely place to be ….. I like the water and sense of depth and distance too.

                Nice work Cliff.

                Cheers, Maureen

                Jon, we both now almost exactly the same amount of information about each other. I don’t think it’s enough to reach any conclusions, though.

                Maureen, thank you.

                        Okay, fair enough. My bad and I apologize. Thank you for the kind comment.

                        If I recall correctly, you expressed an interest in knife work on another thread. This is all knife work except I used a brush for the final layer of the sky reflected in the water. I couldn’t quite make the surface come together with the knife.

                        Cliff this is really beautiful. One of your best, I think. A very successful composition and lots of texture in those greens.
