Day 3, painting 3, Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State inspired by  @k.d.s.photography and @usinterior.You can’t see it very well but applied loads of stars with masking fluid and the first of many layers of night sky.Fun Fact: The park is part of a complex ecosystem. Vegetation is diverse, reflecting the varied climatic and environmental conditions encountered across the park's 12,800-feet elevation gradient. Approximately 58 percent of the park is forested, 23 percent is subalpine parkland, and the remainder is alpine, half of which is vegetated and the other half consists of permanent snow and ice. Forest ages range from less than 100 years old on burned areas and moraines left by receding glaciers to old-growth stands 1,000 or more years. Some alpine heather communities have persisted in the park for up to 10,000 years.#nps100 @nationalparkservice #mountrainier #nationalpark #findyourpark #goparks #rebeccashapiroart #wip #workinprogress #watercolor #funfact #FYPyes #washington  #pnwonderland #pnw #milkyway #stars
