Our group will spend six days river rafting and painting with Erica Craig, a wildlife biologist and gifted artist. On our way downriver, we’ll take time each day to stop when an “art opportunity” presents itself. After we’re done painting, we’ll run some class IV rapids like Big Mallard and Elkhorn. We’ll enjoy a delicious meal, and maybe take a little walk after dinner to explore a homestead or pick some berries.
Erica’s background in wildlife biology brings her watercolor paintings to life. They are "just right". One of her paintings includes some aspen trees, and on the trees are scars in the bark made by a black bear climbing the tree--just an example of her attention to detail.
Erica’s husband, Tim, usually accompanies us on these watercolor painting river rafting trips. Tim and Erica are wonderful company on any river rafting trip. Their combined knowledge of the Idaho backcountry, and their willingness to share their stories, makes this a very enjoyable trip, even for the non-artist. Tim is also a wildlife biologist, and is currently employed in Fairbanks, Alaska. Tim and Erica have taught raptor ecology classes, and have done several contract research projects. One included taking blood samples from Golden eagles. Tim has worked as a predator control specialist, and a backpacker supplying grizzly bear hunting camps in Alaska, and as a wildlife biologist for the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. This is a special trip you’ll never forget.
Above all—Experience the Salmon River and Paint!
