In 1999 I hiked into the Wind River Range on a commission to paint Mt. Mitchell for a great grandaughter of Finis Mitchell, the range's famous "Man of the Mountains". The spectacular sheer face of the mountain from Lonesome lake was the picture they wanted, bu I also painted this gentler side of it from Big Sandy Lake, in the early morning's glow of color.

My photographs from the Cirque of the Towers, professionally developed from 120mm negatives, are also available. See them at my Painter's Journal piece in the Wind Rivers.
