A short hike along lower Green River Lake at the northern end of the Wind River Range brings you to Clear Creek. A natural bridge two miles above the lake is a popular and easy day hike. Beautiful meadows dominated by craggy sharp pinnacles shrouded in the mist, reminded me of the Chinese paintings of Quelin. Chinese painters did not paint on site; instead they meditated at the scene then later painted the spirit of the memory. Later during the winter as I worked on the etching plate the rain drummed on the roof, making it easy to feel that I was still there, yet warm and dry.
