ART: Yosemite Valley, El Capitan by Thomas Hill, Bulter Museum of

The West Room is one of my favorite areas of the Butler Museum of Art in Youngstown, Ohio.

You are greeted by Thomas Hill’s Yosemite Valley scene with the imposing face of El Capitan. Every I study this painting, I find something new to admire.

And, if you are alone and stand quietly by the painting, you just might find yourself transported back in time to this quiet, little stream with our Native American people who lived in harmony with the land in stewardship, taking only what they needed to live.
