Kim Casebeer has never gotten over her love of the outdoors- and for that, art lovers are grateful. If she had, they would have been denied the opportunity to lose themselves in the beauty of the landscapes she so expertly and artistically creates.

This is close to the popular Schwabacher Landing area in Grand Teton National Park. Whenever I’m in an area like this, I try to paint something unexpected, because the typical view has been photographed and painted so many times. I just loved how the reflections and the leaves in the water created these interesting shapes. The more intimate landscapes sometimes make the best compositions.

Teton Creek Color
Oil
20″ By 24″
This is a fork of the Teton Creek on the west side (Idaho side) of the Teton Range. I painted a small plein air piece in the evening, then took it to my studio to paint this piece. It is the low, evening light hitting the bank of the creek that caused me to stop to paint.
