Jackson Hole - SOLD

Jackson Hole Chapel - Sold

Landscape - Oil on Canvas

This is a wonderful little chapel outside of Jackson Hole, with the Tetons in the background. This painting is sold, but I really liked the way the chapel is placed on the canvas, with layers of mountains and trees surrounding the landmark. I was revisiting this painting since I lost all of our photographs from the Jackson Hole trip. I may paint some more Wyoming and Utah paintings this week. Thanks for viewing.....Kay

Wyoming Landscape

This 8" x 10" oil painting was painted by the request of Carrie Harris. Carrie had always told me that she would get married in the Chapel of Transfiguration, located in the Grand Teton National Park. Last night Carrie and Clay Arnold were married in Jackson Hole, but not in the chapel....the setting was absolutely beautiful. The mountains were majestic.
John & Kay, Lindsay & Wes Henry...Lindsay was a bridesmaid. Wes had a very important job.....holding the door with Andy before the bride was escorted down the isle. We all enjoyed the moving service located at the base of the mountains.
Carrie was a beautiful bride, and the wedding was breath-taking. The reception was lovely, with dinner and dancing under the big tent. It was a perfect day. Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Clay Arnold!

Aspens Landscape
SOLD!
8" x 8" Oil on Canvas
Palette Knife Painting

Aspen trees......This painting was inspired by some of daughter Lindsay's Jackson Hole pics. Wes Henry told me he learned alot about them from Raymond Harris while visiting Jackson Hole last summer. They tend to grow in clumps, sharing the same roots. The aspen tree, also known as quaking aspen or Populus tremuloides, is from the willow family. It is a fast-growing but short-lived tree. I need to research this. Anyway, here is my painting.....and I am happy to say that it has a new home! SOLD. Thank you, Pam at Dutch Art Gallery.

Jackson Hole Chapel #2

Jackson Hole Chapel

Oil on Linen

9" x 12"

This is the last painting I will post of the chapel...I like the front door open, so the eye looks thru the building, all the way back to the landscape. At one time I had a path painted to the front door, but decided that it detracted from the chapel. This painting is very handsome in a dark wood frame with a gold liner. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Painting #3

Oil on 8" x 36" Gallery Wrap Canvas

I can post this painting now that it has been given to Raymond and Marydel as a Christmas gift from daughter Carrie. After painting two versions of this chapel, I was not satisfied. So I started slapping the paint on the mountains with a palette knife and got loose on this canvas. At one point the grass in the foreground was green.....and it blended in too much with the aspen trees. So I did scrape the paint off the fence and ground. I have been known to have "issues" with green before....everyone at the studio knows that I can get into trouble with green paint. So I used Naples Yellow, Yellow Ochre and some Raw Umber on the ground. Tomorrow I will post the second painting....Have a great day, and thanks for viewing my blog!

This is one of three paintings that I have completed of a chapel in Jackson Hole. Carrie Harris asked me to paint the chapel so that she could give to her parents for a Christmas gift. The mountains and aspens were so much fun to paint. Since I have not seen this chapel, I had to rely on Carrie's photographs for reference. This is painted on linen...which gives the painting a very smooth texture compared to the canvas that I normally paint on. Tomorrow I will post painting number two. This is painting is very handsome in a dark plein air frame. This painting will be for sale once it is framed....Carrie decided that she liked painting number three and that is what is under her Christmas tree....so I will post that one in a couple of days. Three different paintings, three different interpretations....all the same subject matter. It was a good painting challenge for me. I just hope that Carrie's gift is a hit with her parents!
