Felt, Idaho – 6″ x 6″ Watercolor

Felt was one of the most inspiring places I came across on my vacation in August.    The rolling hills went on and on and on.  I was even lucky enough to see a farmer, lovingly roving over his land, creating that artistic plume of dust.  I captured him in a plein air painting here.   I really want to go back there to paint again.  It was gorgeous!
