Witchita Wildlife Refuge

Snakes on a Plein Air

John and I went up to the Wichita Wildlife Refuge yesterday, near Lawton, OK. We had planned to stay the night but they were predicting bad weather for today. We went to this place last year, where I did this painting, Hawk Country. This was one of the paintings I put in my Nine Eyes show last year. The refuge was much more lush and green, and the views were great. We hiked back about two miles down a hilly trail that ended at a secluded waterfall. On the way back, John was about ten yards ahead of me and we were hiking up some rocks on a hillside.
