Makoshika State Park
Makoshika State Park in eastern Montana is a fascinating place. The park comprises over 11,000 acres. The land formations, formed by erosion are quite spectacular. I have enjoyed countless hours exploring the Badlands and I have painted several paintings of my journeys. I offer these paintings for sale. I also have very high-quality signed Giclee prints of these images for sale.

Badlands Cow

A lone cow stands on a hill looking over the Badlands; appears to be in deep contemplation; but I do not know if it is remembering the past, projecting itself into the future, or just enjoying the ever-present moment.

Badlands #6
Acrylic painting on birchwood panel
The Badlands is an area where the environment appears to transform itself in the present moment. As the day progresses and the sun moves across the sky, there is a shadow play upon the land formations and everything changes from moment to moment, at leastways in the early morning and the late afternoon hours.
