Dana Fork 16×20 sold
Unframed size: 16″ x 20″; framed size 22″ x 26″
“I’’ve traveled to many places in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, but again and again I am drawn to Yosemite National Park. I set up near Tuolumne River, along the Dana Fork of that river, and sought to capture the peaceful power of the river over the rocks. The sounds of water can create a fine sense of peace, and I hope some of that water effect comes to the viewer of my painting.” – mh

High Country 24×36
Unframed size: 24″ x 36″; framed size 32″ x 44″

Mountain Tarn 24×30
Unframed size: 24″ x 30″; framed size 30″ x 36″
“Along Tioga Road in YNP there are areas where the mountain snow melt has collected in pools in the basins between peaks. This painting was inspired by a plein air painting I made on a trip with fellow artists. I was attracted to the reflections in the water, of the tall stand of evergreens and the mountain slope beyond. The sun was back lighting the trees, so the underpainting with red oxide gave the trees a glow.” – mh

Spring Flow 12×16

“Pinnacles National Park near the Peaks View Picnic Area. I was attracted by the pattern of the river as it flowed away from the peaks and by the variety of greens in the foliage. The lupine here were budded but not yet in full bloom. I found one tall clump to paint.” – mh

Ursa Curious 14×18 sold
Unframed size 14×18; framed 20×24
“One autumn, while visiting Yosemite National Park, I set up my easel to paint the reflections of Half Dome in the Merced River. When I had almost completed the painting, a black bear came snuffling along the far side of the river. I grabbed my camera and took several pictures. Richard had come to help me pack up just then, and we decided a fast exit was in order as the bear looked our way. This painting was created in my studio soon after, from my memories and from photos.” – mh
