A friend and I grabbed our sketchbooks and headed out to a newly established park on the north end of Billings along the Yellowstone River. I drew these watercolor and ink sketches from different parts of the park - wonderfully diverse topography, with cool grassy areas along a creek, the rocky banks of the river, the yellowstone cliffs, and woody ravines. Although the landscape was still primarily dressed in winter colors, new spring green grass was sprouting up.
