More refinement on the parade scene

The Narrows

This is a quick acrylic study for a larger painting on down the road. The Narrows is the link between the Upper and Lower Valleys in Star Valley. The Salt River meanders through and the hills seem to come close to the banks. There was a herd of buffalo pasturing in there when I was a kid. In high school I worked at the Silver Stream Lodge just to the left out of the shot. The Cafe burned down a few years ago, but the cabins are still there. To the right was the neatest short cut to Turnerville. We found that it's now closed- another casualty to wealth.
