Aid Station by Goldstone Mine.
The ranch sits on the border of Idaho and Montana, right as Idaho is tapering into the chimney shape at the midway up the state on the east side. The border is the continental divide, which is the top of the waterways. Water to the West runs to the Pacific. Water to the East runs eventually to the Atlantic. Soooo... This weekend a fairly new and fast-growing event took place along the continental divide. It's an endurance race like no other.
I hope to paint these mountain flowers soon. The red flowers are called Indian Paintbrush.
Have you ever seen white iris before? I have seen purple iris all my life. But when I saw these white iris, I just had to have them. They remind me of paper whites and other winter white florals. As much as I love color this time of year, there is something very clean and refreshing about white flowers.
I also found these pale pink spray roses for $5! What a bargain from Marianos in Westchester. Okay. I already painted them! See below. Kind of a funky abstract playful painting.
Hope you enjoy my new painting.
