I can't draw a stick man. Always amazed at what artists can do.

You are an ARTISTE

years (which is now) but I already have too many other hobbies and projects to keep me busy...keep up the great work/fun....

If it is the white patch on Boise Peak, to the right, gives it away. If not, oh well.

Edit: never mind, I just saw your title,"Missoula"

I totally love it! I enlarged it to fill my iPad screen and just let myself experience it.

Painting like this, with a pallet knife adds a whole new dimension to art. The viewer gets the added quality of being conscious of the method used and how it works in the painting as well as being aware of it. Now we can see a physical effect of three dimensionality added to the depiction of a landscape and a house and color and texture.

You’re going to get very good at this because maybe you found your outlet where you become more powerful in your depictions. This is sometimes how artists explore abstract painting. The medium itself and how it is applied becomes the central issue. Think Abstract Expressionism.

This is awesome in fact and in potential!

Very nicely done!
