]]> Big Horn By-pass by Skip Meisch Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:51:54 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/featured/big-horn-by-pass-skip-meisch.html

Hiking up to Grinell glacier we had to step off the trail to let 5 big horn sheep get by. It seems they owned the trail and were just waiting for us to get out of their way.

]]> Cracker Lake by Skip Meisch Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:40:25 GMT http://fineartamerica.com/featured/cracker-lake-skip-meisch.html

After hiking in about seven miles, we were treated to a beauty that can only be seen in a select few places in the world. The color of the glacial lakes is just stunning.

As I was leaving the park, I was surprised to find this perfect reflection in one of the large lakes in the park. It was a scene which begged to be photographed.

This is my favorite picture of me racing my boat. It was my first "successful" attempt at capturing water with a sense of realism. You can "feel" the boat forcing its way through the water.

My second try at painting was started on location in Glacier National Park in August 2009. I sat beside Jan Cook Mack as we both painted the same scene. But the wind came up and blew over our paintings so I went hiking instead and finished this paint...
