Oil

This is one of my paintings from my Open AIR Artist Residency. It’s a painting of Durant Canyon, near the place where Silver Bow Creek joins the Clark Fork River. It was a reclamation site, mostly because of toxic material from Butte that was washed down and deposited along the creek during the flood of 1908. My staff rebuilt the floodplain during my time as DEQ Director, and I think they did a beautiful job.
