“Rock River Formation” 12 x 36” Oil on Canvas

Bonnie Halsey-Dutton, 2011

This artwork was painted in plein air, outdoors in one sitting, on a sunny summer day on the outskirts of a Rock River, Wyoming.  The small town of Rock River is north and west of Laramie.   The characteristic white rock formations found in this area of the country are in stark contrast with the wide open spaces and colorful prairie grasses.
