Peaks and Backwaters

 

 

A much needed camping trip to check out Pike's Peak State Park in Iowa led to some creative time for drawing and eventually painting.


Pike's Peak 8x10

The beautiful overlook across the Mississippi River to Wisconsin was the inspiration for this painting.



Yellow River Backwaters 8x10

 

While there we also visited the Effigy Mounds National Monument taking the easier trail along the Yellow River.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides hiking I spent some time drawing the views from the park and campsite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Sometimes you even just find those things right in front of you to draw.
