National Park Painting Project

The Objective: Travel to each and every American national park and numerous international parks then make a painting of the park in a manner that exemplifies the experience. With each park page I’ll share photos taken from the trip to the park with various notes on what we did, when we did it, and what we saw and the concluding painting made after returning home.

The following park paintings have been completed:

  1. Arches
  2. Badlands
  3. Black Canyon of the Gunnison
  4. Bryce Canyon
  5. Everglades
  6. Grand Teton
  7. Great Smoky Mountains
  8. Rocky Mountain
  9. Yellowstone
