Acrylic on canvas, 16 x 20 inches.  I used a reference photo that I made on our last trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park in 2013.  I wasn’t happy with the first arrangement of the painting, so I inserted a lake into the bottom third of the painting.  I also had included cumulus clouds, but removed them and only painted in steaks of cirrus clouds.

I’ve included the original underpainting, as well as my first rendition (third picture below) where cumulus clouds, and a grassy meadow are shown but later removed.
