Media: Oil Sketch on Centurian oil primed
Size: 4x6 in
Over
across the lake from my dispersed campsite is Brooks Mountain [I met Brooks
Lake Lodge local who set me straight on the name], which mark the Continental
Divide, and at present I am on the eastern side of it, so the streams here will
be flowing to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. I've been bouncing back and forth over the
divide since crossing Independence Pass the day after leaving Salida. I crossed from the Atlantic to Pacific
flowing waters there, and back again when I crossed over South Pass, at the
south end of the Wind River Range, and back to the west side a day later when I
crossed over Union Pass before the Eclipse.
An interesting aside here is that in the Union Pass area waters flow in
three directions; east to the Mississippi and the Atlantic, south to the Green
River, which joins the Colorado and eventually into the Gulf of California
(which separates Baja from the rest of Mexico), and northwest into the Snake
River, which joins the Columbia and the Pacific, between Oregon and
Washington. On Tuesday I recrossed Union
Pass to the east side, to Dubois, and am still on that side here at Brooks Lake,
looking at the Divide in the form of Brooks Mountain, and watching the shadow
of the Pinnacles Buttes slowly crawling down its face, as the Moon sets in the dawn light. The pigments used were: Imprimatura: Rublev
Ercolano Red. Drawing: W&N Cobalt Blue;Painting: W&N Venetian Red,
Cobalt & Cerulean Blues, also a touch of Cerulean, Cadmiums Orange &
Yellow Pale; Rublev:Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre, Purple Ochre & Lead White #1. For more, visit www.StevenThorJohanneson.blogspot.com
