Peaceful Beginnings

Peaceful Beginnings is a miniature oil painting I created while painting plein air near Bozeman on the Hyalite Reservoir.  The early morning typically will have calm mirror like water and by mid morning the wind will start and the reflection  will disappear.  This reservoir is one of the main sources of water for Bozeman, MT and has restricted boating to floating and canoeing.  

This painting was juried into the Cider Painters of America Miniature Show that is held at the Mainstreet Galleries, located at 370 Pierce St, Kingston, PA, 18704.  The show is open November 15 - December 23, 2026.  Gallery hours are Tuesday - Saturday 10 am - 5 pm.  570-287-5589
