White Mountain Trails

 

Three Caps Trail to Mt. Jefferson 

Pastel  5X7  framed/matted  $175

Ridge trails are my favorite for hiking because of the vast vistas, the exposure, and the Whites have many ridges...Franconian Ridge,  Crawford Path, Kinsman Ridge, to name only a few.

Painting from the ridges is also fun since it is a time to relive the adventure, follow the trails mentally and imaginatively, and see the world from the top!

Franconia  Ridge: Lincoln to Little Haystack

Pastel 12x18

Every trail has

its own uniqueness,

be it ledges, slopes or views varieties of trees and wildflowers

according to altitude

and season;

and inevitably,

the creative oddities and arrangements

left by the trail builders

and protectors.
