Notes:

“I decided that I wanted to come to Jackson Hole before I was in college…I was completely sold that this was the finest prairie, mountain, and ranch country in the United States–maybe the world. I knew then I wanted to come here and paint...
I am an impressionist and paint moods; I don’t try to paint portraits of the mountains, nor do I try to paint a literal statement of the mountains. I try to paint an impression of the mood of the elements as they play against the mountains.” - Conrad Schwiering
