Mount Moran & Oxbow Bend

This painting captures Mount Moran mirrored in the still waters of the Oxbow Bend Turnout, a channel of the Snake River. The location offers one of Grand Teton National Park’s most iconic views. While not the same perspective as Ansel Adams’ 1948 photograph “Mount Moran, Autumn”, it shares a similar composition: the mountain centered majestically, framed by the contrasting tones of pine and aspen trees.
