8"x10" Oil one panel.  Available.

Right at the end of downtown Seward, AK I saw this man sitting on a rock taking pictures.  The wind was blowing off the ocean and the sun was bright.  I liked the brightness of the scene and the strong sunlight.  Lowell Pt. is the land form in the near distance.

Thanks for viewing my art!

Oil on canvas 9"x12" SOLD

We had a week of rain and heavy clouds and now we are having a fabulous week of clear skies and warm temperatures.  It has been wonderful.  On one of those rainy evenings around 8:00 PM I painted this scene.  Looking out of my studio/gallery located in the cove I can see this scene.  It was so wet that I took several photos and used them as reference too.

Well we had a week of clear days and sunshine and now it looks like we are having a week of rain and heavy clouds.  At least today I can see the tops of the mountains though it is raining pretty good out there.  I have salmon in the smoker and the smell is coming in the house a little bit.  I love that smell.  I'll be heading out to the cabins in Humpy Cove for the night.  I'm hoping I can get a painting started (and finished) out there if all goes well.  Most likely it will have to be from the inside looking out if it is raining there like it is here.   

I did the above painting form a photo reference I took one morning as we were pulling out of the harbor.  The light was shinning just behind the mountain and everything was still and calm and back lit.  I really liked how the back lighting made the colors soft on Mt. Alice.
