This 14 x10 watercolor is the first painting I did from the recent Zion Plein Air Invitational of which I was proud to be one of 24 artists selected nationwide to paint in the park as part of the 100 year national park celebration. Zion National Park is an amazing place for landscape painters. It is almost overwhelming with 360 degree …
Pole Cat Creek is located not far from the campground at Flagg Ranch in Teton National Park. I was camped there in the fall of 2015 while I painted in the Yellowstone/Grand Teton National parks. It was a rainy week but on the last day the sun finally shone and I took advantage of the break in the weather to …
Wilson Road in Teton National Park is unfortunately getting to be rather well known. It is a narrow sometimes paved road connecting Teton Village with Moose Junction in Teton National Park. It has become heavily traveled threatening the ecosystem of the area. In other words we are loving it to death. I used to live on the Teton Village end …
This is a plein air watercolor I did on the morning of the 4th of July. I was camped up on the Uncompahgre Plateau in Western Colorado. The morning dawned with a heavy fog that slowly lifted as the sun warmed the air. It was amazing how long it took for these watercolor washes to dry in the high humidity …
The western part of Yellowstone National Park where the Fire Hole River is probably my favorite part of the park. This particular part is where water flows over a colorful rock structure into the Fire Hole. I painted this while my wife and kids hiked up to a viewing area above me.

The painting is framed in an 18kt gold hand leafed frame with linen mat, 18kt gold hand leafed fillet and museum glass. I personally did the gold leafing on the frame and fillet. Original framed 15 x 20 watercolor by Mike …
A fine desert evening out of Wickenberg, Arizona. The colors of the southwest desert in the mornings and evenings are beautiful and pastel in nature. Original 10 x 14 watercolor by Mike Simpson. Mike is a signature member of the Plein Air Artists of Colorado, a signature member of the Western Colorado Watercolor Society, a member of the National Watercolor Society and …
Jenny Lake in the Grand Teton National park on a cool grey day when I was touring the area on my motorcycle. Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are absolutely magical places and for a landscape painter, they are paradise. I used to live just outside the park boundary on the Snake River Ranch. This is where I fell in …
Solitude is a “little gem” watercolor of an old abandoned school house that sits out in the middle of no where just outside of Victor, Idaho. I first came across this place while on a painting trip to Montana. Silhouetted against a far mountain range under a broken sky, it begged to be painted. Original 6 x 9 image size watercolor Mike Simpson using …
