About the Painting "Solitude"

This is my first painting posted on my blog. It is currently for sale on Ebay for $25.00. I spent the better part of 12 summers working, hiking, and climbing in Glacier National Park, Montana. Our work location was in St. Mary's at the Park Cafe (great pies!), which is actually on Blackfeet Reservation. Because of my experiences with the people who make up this great tribe, I have tremendous respect for these people and Native Americans in general. Therefore, I love to acknowledge them in some way in my paintings---my favorite of which is to paint tepees in the landscape as shown in this particular painting. I also tend to paint in seasons, and since now it is fall, I am using fall colors in my paintings. Well, the painting took about 8-10 hours to paint over a two week period, which is pretty average for one of my paintings. The next post, I think I will give a cost analysis to show how much I think the painting is really worth, if I could set the price...Of course there is no demand for my paintings so this is just wishful thinking!
