NORRIS BASIN GEYSER

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

I will never forget the happiness I felt when I saw the Norris Basin Geyser at Yellowstone National Park, for the first time. It was like watching a child observing a steam engine train, where the pressure is bursting out of the front with a similar sound. From a distance, no one could tell that the temperature beneath the surface was more than 450F. The way the pressure within the surface was released was unbelievable. This painting is a memoir of that moment and that site. If luck permits, I will surely visit it again.
