Strong Falls...South View- 9"x 12" oil plein air

9"x 12" oil...on pumiced gessoed gray neutral hardboard...















...and, here was my setup, sitting down on a rock face on this one.
















Strong Falls is one of my annual favorite places to set up and paint, about 25 minutes from my home here in NE Wisconsin.  I have taught a number of workshops here as well, but never reserved the lodge.  I'm thinking I might do that from here on.  About $35 to reserve it per day...and right along the river/falls.  A nice overhang in the event of rain and can still paint.  Has electricity...could hold instruction inside as well, even plan a day's end meal.















...the overhang















The park has a rustic campground area for anyone interesting in camping and making a total north woods experience out of a weekend workshop.  Restroom facilities, water...and the park closes at 9pm with exception to campers...meaning it quiets down for a nice sublime peaceful experience.  

Some additional views-

The main falls...looking west...












Further west, beneath a footbridge...














Nice view north up river, (falls at your back)-















The park is about 10-12 miles from the town of Goodman, the nearest small town.  If interested in taking one of my workshops...might want to keep an eye on this one as I put plans in the works.
