"Bare November" - Artist's Original Watercolor | Appalachian Trail Thru Hikers Art

A one-of-a-kind original watercolor, hand-painted outdoors on Nov 22, 2025, along the Appalachian Trail.

Painted directly on the trail during a long-distance hike, this piece carries the raw beauty of the AT—real miles, real weather, real moments—captured in pigment and paper. This is not a print or reproduction. It’s an authentic, original watercolor illustration hand-painted by Robert N. Riedel (AT trail name: Birdcall).
