Probably my last plein air chance (acrylic at least) until spring! Love this mountain, and I love painting her.

10 Reasons Why Montana Should Be Your Next Outdoor Adventure

Nestled between the Canadian border and the states of Idaho and Wyoming lies Montana, also known as the Treasure State. The name is fitting for a state adorned with granite mountain ranges, cavernous badlands, vast grassy expanses of the Great Plains, and glittering rivers – making it a perfect destination for outdoors enthusiasts who appreciate untouched natural beauty. Despite Montana’s…

Bitterroot Mountains in Montana 🇺🇸

Kevin Courter was born in 1964 in Palo Alto. Growing up in Northern California, he found himself drawn to the beauty and diversity of the Californian landscape. From rugged Sierra Nevada mountain ranges, the vast wetlands in the Sacramento Valley, and the majesty of the California coastline, Kevin is, first and foremost, a painter of California. However, Kevin visited Montana for the first time in the fall of 2013 and fell in love with the unique beauty found in the fertile valleys of Montana, specifically the Bitterroot Valley, Livingston, Bozeman and Paradise Valley.

His paintings of California and now Montana reflect the awesome and inspiring beauty that can be found in nature. “It’s in nature’s simple and intimate vignette’s that I find the most beauty”. Whether painting in the studio or on location, his work reveals his passion for the land he loves.

do you have any other tattoos? i love the shrike, always been curious!!

I do! I have a section of the Bitterroot mountains on my right forearm with a few meaningful words underneath it and last year I had my artist reimagine Ellie's tattoo from The Last of Us 2 with a Death's-head moth. (you can read more about it here)

and see it here!

It's kind of a hard place to photograph on my own because it wraps so much, but she did an amazing job!

And I have more planned :)

Advances in modern medicine have regularly allowed people to “come back from the dead,” as it were, and many who do report extraordinary visions and experiences from their trip to the other side. A Dutch study of 344 people who survived cardiac arrest found that between 12 and 18 percent had deep and affecting experiences on the threshold of life: meeting dead loved ones, being ushered through a tunnel of light, existing outside of their bodies, and being filled with love and bliss. The life review is one of the most powerful and comforting of these visions. It is characterized by the conviction that you have sweeping knowledge of all things and can simultaneously reexperience your entire life. “When my expansion was over, I was everywhere, I was everything at the same time,” one woman recalled. “I was the sky, I was the ground, I was the trees, and I felt the wind blowing in my leaves, I was the sea and I was also my parents, my friends, people I had not met before but who, at that point, I knew because they were part of me.”

A former wildland firefighter named Ken Senn told me that he suffered an abdominal hemorrhage while hunting with his son in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana. His son, Caleb, had already dislocated his shoulder trying to help his father over rough ground, so the two men were forced to spend the night by a fire in subfreezing temperatures hoping rescuers would find them before they died. Ken was semi-functional from blood loss and Caleb was deep in shock from an unreduced shoulder. At dawn, Caleb set out to try to make it to a road. “After Caleb left, I was at peace because I knew he was going to be okay,” Senn said. “But I knew I was dying. And that was when the mountains started to move, started to ripple. And I realized that the entire world was alive, everything was alive. And I saw all these animals below me and they were all dying, and I knew I was going to die too, one day, but we were all linked. And I felt at peace because I knew my body belonged to the earth. The Angel of Death was whispering in my ear.”

The similarity with many religious experiences is striking. Renowned yogi Paramahansa Yogananda describes the moment of his enlightenment as a young student in India: “Soul and mind instantly lost their physical bondage and streamed out like a fluid… the flesh was as though dead; yet in my intense awareness I knew that never before had I been fully alive. My sense of identity was no longer narrowly confined to a body but embraced the circumambient atoms. People on distant streets seemed to be moving gently over my own remote periphery. The roots of plants and trees appeared through a dim transparency of the soil; I could discern the inward flow of their sap… A swelling glory within me began to envelop towns, continents, the earth, solar and stellar systems, tenuous nebulae, and floating universes.”
