Yellowstone and Walter Anderson

As I travel to Yellowstone National Park to work for a few months one of my favorite artist comes to mind. I can relate to the amazing Mississippi artist Walter Anderson. He had a powerful desire for adventure and beauty and would seek it out with a vengeance traveling thousands of miles at a time on his bike or paddling to his favorite island to stay for months at a time. I gained a new respect for watercolors after seeing one of his exhibits in Jackson MS. I hope that with my camera I can capture the beauty of nature as passionately as he did when I am in Yellowstone. I think an artist really needs to live in nature to fully appreciate and portray it.
