Reposted from @fullecology (@get_regrann) - This is plein air painting. Completed one morning as our friend Shirll Ireland looked out on the Blacktail Ponds of Yellowstone country. Shirl @shirlireland Is one of the two artists, a couple, who own the Elk River Art Gallery and Lodge. Shirl and John are wonderful friends of ours. They are fantastic artists who have chose to move themselves from the Adirondacks to Gardner, Montana. They made that choice about 10 years ago with preschoolers in tow. Now they’re raising really amazing kids and doing their art right there at the gateway to Yellowstone. We are so excited to be offering our September retreat at Shirl and John’s place. #elkriverart #elkriverlodge #yellowstonenationalpark #pleinairartist #pleinnature #blendbzn #ecoretreats #ecoretreat #absorkebeartoothwilderness #gallatinnationalforest https://www.instagram.com/p/B0m0HOLgIQq/?igshid=1hdfxw70efc9j
