Early mornings in the wilderness when the air is cool and the winds are non-existent is the best time to absorb it all. In the spring especially, the birds are lively, the smell of new growth is fresh, and the sun feels amazing. - When the days are quiet and still, it gets me thinking more than other days. I like to imagine stories, scenes, or possibilities. This #country I have a lot of history with, it's an area I spend a lot of time in. Some times are more special than others. This was one of those mornings that #inspired this piece. 12x16 #oil on panel. Original drops for sale tonight on my website. #art #painted #westernart #wolves #Yellowstone
