Beaverhead Rock

This is a pastel painting of Beaverhead Rock near Dillon, Montana. Besides it's unique beauty this rock outcropping has a historic significance as well.

"Beaverhead Rock is a rock feature identified in 1805 by Sacagawea, during the Lewis and Clark Expedition, as a landmark not distant from the summer retreat of her nation."

I travel to this part of southwest Montana a lot and see Beaverhead Rock in so many light and weather conditions, this happens to be early spring when the foliage is really green and the light is very bright in this rural setting.
