– Jacob Braude
View From Grand Targhee – Alta, Wyoming
4″ x 6″ Watercolor Plein Air
Yes…. I braved the ski lift to ride 15 minutes, up to the top of Grand Targhee with my watercolors. My knees were shaking, yet I was gasping out loud at the beauty of what I was seeing from up there. This little painting does not do it justice.
About Jacob Braude
American judge and author Jacob Braude was a fount of humorous and inspirational stories and quotations, which he used to regale the courtroom in Cook County, Illinois, where he presided for more that 35 years. His books of sayings, including Speaker’s Encyclopedia of Humor and Braude’s Treasury of Wit and Humor, have been mined by toastmasters and lecturers for decades. He was born in 1896 and died in 1970.
PHOTO NOTE:
The last one is the view, looking the other way, toward the Tetons. Yes, that’s snow! The Chamber of Commerce guy in Driggs told me that they had to clear 8 feet of snow away at the Targhee Resort (at the bottom of this mountain), to prepare for their 4th of July festival! That’s the resort, at the bottom of the ski lift.
