Jackson Hole is a magical place! It's my first time to be there and the natural beauty of the landscape is a wonder to witness. For the first time in my life I saw moon so big and bright, orange in color, hanging low on the horizon--so eerie I could see the Indians riding horses down the hill slope and conducting their night worship rituals. And for the first time I saw stars so many and so clear, mesmerizing, awe-inspiring, and almost fear-inducing. The night sky was nothing like what we saw in the city, or even in the suburbs.

Maggie,
ReplyDeleteYou did justice to the Tetons and Yellowstone! Wyoming is my home state. . .I don't live there now, but, I can certainly feel the space, air, and light in your paintings.
