Stream on the Way to Avalanche Lake, Glacier National Park

Original Pastel Painting

This original pastel painting captures the cool, luminous beauty of a forest stream along the trail to Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting a warm golden glow over the shaded woods while the water moves through the scene in soft blues, greens, and violet reflections.

The painting emphasizes the quiet movement of the stream as it slips around smooth rocks and disappears into the forest. Expressive pastel marks, layered color, and atmospheric light give the piece a sense of freshness and immediacy, as if the viewer has paused for a moment along the trail to listen to the water and take in the stillness of Glacier’s interior landscape.

This piece would appeal to collectors who love Glacier National Park, wooded trails, mountain streams, and expressive pastel landscapes inspired by the national parks.
