Beautiful Wyoming In Photographs by Carol Reynolds



Grand Tetons Wyoming

The above photographs I took in Wyoming over a decade ago.   The image directly above is one I would like to paint, with maybe the addition of some bison.



These last 2 photographs were also taken the same time as the previous ones.  Wyoming is so breathtakingly beautiful and quite inspiring for an artist.    Maybe someday I can visit there again but, if not, I have experienced the grandeur there and I have reference photographs I have taken to remind me of how special that State is.  


The above photograph is of Wind River in Dubois, Wyoming.   Below is the recently completed painting of mine of this scene.


"Brokenness Amid Beauty"
8" x 10" oil on museum quality panel
Available

Both the reference photograph of mine and the painting depict the Wind River at twilight time.

Hope you enjoyed the scenery !    Check back soon .

Excellent Video of Exotic Birds of the World

Below is a video with photos of exotic birds that includes bird chirping sounds as well as soft music.  Usually when I watch bird videos on You Tube I do not want music playing in the background, but this video is an exception; the music does not interfere with the enjoyment of the birds singing.

Enjoy !

In the future, I will be making more posts more frequently to this blog.   I have been busy painting lately and have neglected this site for too long.   Below is a recently completed landscape of a scene in Dubois, Wyoming.


"Twilight at Wind River" - John 7:37-39

I have been working on other Wyoming oil landscapes as well as seascapes.    Click here to view oil works in progress and also some photographs I took of Wyoming scenery.    I  may include some of those photos in a post on this blog in the near future.    

Thank you for visiting !
