The location of the painting is in Buffalo Valley, WY, just east of Grand Teton National Park. This large studio painting was done using a 11" x 14" plein air study. About 30 minutes into the study, the artist was engulfed in huge flakes of the incoming snow storm and had to pack up in a hurry. He liked the view so much that he drove back to the location the next day to finish. Jay Moore knew he would have to paint this view on a monumental scale as he was standing there.
