12. trying to orient myself here...

Is this looking East? Missoula is on the West slope of the Rockies.

And is that Rattlesnake Creek? Or? Confluence of Clark Fork and Bitterroot?

[LiberalLoner]

18. Yup looking at Mount Sentinel, looking East, Clark Fork River

22. Seriously!?!

I can’t tell you how much I love this. When were you in Missoula? It’s my hometown. I look at Mount Sentinel from my backyard!

LiberalLoner, do you sell your work in a gallery or online?

[LiberalLoner]

28. Wow thank you! I'm on daily paintworks! ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹

Oh I would give anything for more photos of Mount Sentinel, I would gladly make a painting for you if you could email me photos of the mountains in Missoula! ❤️❤️❤️

It was where I grew up as a kid, 70-74.

[MontanaMama]

35. I just gasped when I saw your OP.

Your work is beautiful and dead on accurate. I’ll PM you to get your info…and get you any photos you need/want. I moved to Missoula in ‘77. It’s sure changed now that it’s been “discovered”.

47. Your artwork never disappoints

Your painting is perfectly displayed in the mat and frame you chose for it. You have a wonderful eye for colors and nature scenes. You capture the moments you choose to paint quite well, and your paintings always resonate with those of us who love looking at nature and landscapes and especially at water! It becomes a positive emotional experience for us viewers to just look at your depictions of the awesome (as in full of awe) beauty of pristine landscapes. There is an airy and atmospheric quality to your painting that makes one almost stop breathing so as not to disturb the beauty and the splendor. You also capture the peacefulness of nature on full display. I love your work! It’s inspirational!

[LiberalLoner]

48. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your beautiful words always give me so much

Encouragement and happiness!

Thank you dearest artist friend, I hope life and art are treating you well! ❤️❤️❤️

[Artistree22]

49. Nice

I love the contrast of warm light and cool shadows with the rich blue and purple hues. You have a nice way with pastels- Impressionistic. The gold mat and frame and maybe better lighting in the second photo really bring out the warm light and rich tones.
Thanks for sharing.
Love n peace
