Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park

The civilation that was eaten by the beach and the black cat or “Cait Sith” that thought witchcraft sucks a man's soul out by sleeping on his Chest sing that I am the Highlander Clan Morrison. The small sketch books that define great piece and the snow which create negative space announce that I am an artist. I was born in Texas and in many ways Texas is commonly compared to Montana with big sky and conservative ideas and also I one had a youth pastor from Alberta, Canada.  The first international friendship part between the US and Canada was Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park found as one entity but separate administration in 1932. Originally the park was the Blackfoot traditional hunting ground but their have been human activities in the park for more then 10,000 year.( It is said that the Sioux hid in the park during the Indian Wars because the US Cavalry) The Canadian Waterton Lakes National Park was founded in 1895 and the American Glacier national park was founded in 1910 to protect the natural beauty from the mistaken idea that there was gold in the area. Ironically, do to climate change the park only has a few glaciers. I have a black cat who likes to sleep on my chest.  

 Waterton-Glacier International peace park has a special mythos. Everything is infront of or on Many Glacier Valley and Swiftcurrent Lake. The boat is Chief Two Gun  named for the chief that sold the park to the federal government which ferry passengers over Grinnel Lake.  The sign is for Logan Pas which is closed during the winter. The bus is the the famous Red Buses which are 1930's vintage but were refurbished by Ford. It is 9” x 12,” drawn with pencil and Charcoal and completed recently.

This picture is called “ Snow Artist” and is pastel 9” x 11.” I look similar to this while going out on snowy days. I have found that ink  pen do not work well when the temperatures are in the low 20 degrees Fahrenheit. When it snows, the snow smeres the ink and the pastel which means the media must be cleaned regularly . The one great difference between me and the piece is I am right handed.
