At the Helm

             11" x 14" Oil on canvas. 

Some of you may not know that I have 3 grown sons.  This painting is of my oldest son as he was captaining a 115 foot sightseeing vessel named the Star of the Northwest.  There are many boat tours that leave form our seaport town to view glaciers and to go whale watching in the Kenai Fjords National Park.    I am really happy with how this painting turned out.  I have never tried anything like this but knew I wanted to paint him in this way.  I took several photos of him and then used information from all of them to create this.

8"x 10" Oil on Canvas.    This painting was really fun for me to paint.  I enjoyed the water, the colors and the  movement.  This little row boat gets a lot of action during the summer months out at our cabins in Humpy Cove.

8"x 10"  Oil on panel.   One day in October I headed out to look for a location to paint in plein air since the weather was mild and the late afternoon sky was casting a lovely warm light on everything.  I noticed the Tustumena was at the cruise ship dock in Seward.  I set up and had a great time working on this painting.

Ready When You Are

9" x 12" Oil on panel.     The reflection of white in the water is from the snow on the mountains  that surround us.   I did not paint this on location as it has been just too windy this week.   I took the photo and then painted it in my home studio.  We are working every day at our property in the cove building a new studio/gallery for me!  I am very excited about it!   This boat belongs to one of our builders.  He is also quite the fisherman.
