Montana

I did this oil painting of St.Mary Lake
in Glacier National Park, Montana. It
lies on the eastern side of Glacier
National Park. We couldn't believe how
beautiful this lake was. Great place to
visit with lots of hiking trails!!

    I worked in Montana as a travel nurse. My favorite place is Two Medicine. I miss it

    Maravilloso, puedo ver la grandeza del paisaje y su soledad. El color azul hace que sienta la frialdad del entorno.

    Wonderful, I can see the grandeur of the scenery and its loneliness. The blue color makes me feel the coldness of the surroundings.

    Beautiful work. Oil is a beautiful medium to work with. It's lovely buttery feel and this is no exception.

    You are a natural born oil painter Hilda! Is that your third oil painting? Wonderful! I love the beautiful sense of serenity and depth you captured, and the light glowing in the clouds. Great job!

    Thank you so much GWEN for your nice comment. Lake Mary was so beautiful..So much blue all around that it almost blended into one another. It took my breath away!!

    Thank you CLAIRE for your comments. This is my third oil and I really like it..never thought I would ..I was always afraid of it. It's so different from pastels..very creamy but I love pastels as well...in fact, I'm working on one now.

    Hilda, when I first saw this, I found myself taking a nice deep breath and saying a silent "ahhhhh." You have given it such a peaceful feeling; it's very nice and your reflections are very well done.
