This has been an amazing summer of backpacking and day-hiking for us, and memories of some of it are reappearing in my studio. It&#8217;s been many years since we&#8217;ve been in the mountains so much, and we&#8217;re enjoying it as long as it lasts into the Fall. These paintings are like a fond\u00a0memory, which, I think, makes for good art. They tell stories back to me of places I&#8217;ve found and love.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Past Royal Lake, &#8216;up the hill&#8217; from where we live, the main trail goes upslope through an open, flower-studded forest before it reaches alpine meadows. It&#8217;s about 7 miles and 3500&#8242; uphill from the trailhead, so it sure isn&#8217;t a day hike. I love this gentle area and wish I could return every time I think of it. Early morning, long shadows, hints of the jagged Needles on Gray Wolf Ridge in the background. For me, life doesn&#8217;t get any better than this. As I recently heard someone say, &#8220;There a LOT of God up there&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Royal-Basin-Upper-Trail-framed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3125\" src=\"http:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Royal-Basin-Upper-Trail-framed-657x800.jpg\" alt=\"Royal-Basin-Upper-Trail-framed\" width=\"640\" height=\"779\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>This ORIGINAL painting is acrylic on board, 6&#8243; x 9&#8243; and $145 framed.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe custom\u00a0frame\u00a0has a triple liner and glass, and if you want to swap this frame out of another, we can also do that.
