Oil painted on primed wood panel.  In the background is Mt. Alice and it is awe inspiring when seen on a cold winder day with the low lying sun casting strong shadows.    The church in this painting is Resurrection Lutheran Church and is one of many churches in this small seaport town.

6"x12" oil on wood panel, Sold.   These kayakers are paddling along the shoreline in Humpy Cove.  Many kayakers visit a salmon stream and water fall in the south end of the cove.  Kayaking is popular in this area due to the beautiful coastline, abundant wildlife and calm waters.

Late Fall

11"x 14" oil on canvas.  This painting is the largest one I have posted so far on my blog.  I just felt like this scene needed the larger format.    I completed it in late November 2012.   It is sitting in a pewter colored frame in the corner of my studio.  Like all of my paintings, I have it price unframed but if you were interested in the frame it could be added on.     I don't think the frame looks quite this shinny in real life.

Available.

Glacier View

6" x 12" Oil on wood panel. Available.    This is Godwin Glacier peeking through the mountains.  This glacier is just across the bay form my town (Seward).  It is tucked behind the mountains so it cannot be seen from town ... only once you get out in Resurrection Bay can you see it.  It is such a pretty sight.  I painted this about two weeks before Christmas.  Well, I have had a nice brake with my family over the Christmas and New Years holiday.  I am painting every day again starting today!

Chiswell Islands

6"x 6" oil on primed Arches paper (museum quality) $175.      These remote, rugged islands are part of the Chiswell Islands where a variety of seabirds come to nest each summer. Tufted puffins and horned puffins nest here by the thousands.  Many tour boats visit these islands on their daily tours of the Kenai Fjords National Park.  I painted this in mid December 2012.

8"x 10" oil on canvas.  I am taking a little time off from painting this week due to the holidays and family visiting!  However I am planning and gathering ideas for new pieces.   For now here is a painting that I sold a few days before Christmas and never got a chance to post on the blog.  This is our harbor as we come in to it form being out in Resurrection Bay.  My focus here was on the light and early fall colors of the mountain.

Neighborhood 

6"x 9" oil on wood, $100.  I'm posting three paintings that I painted on location from inside our truck.  The truck has more room than my car so it works pretty well.  This location is just down the street form my house and studio.  This was done about 4 weeks ago in November when it was pretty gray and cloudy out.

November Grays

6"x 6"  oil on wood, $75.  Painting in the truck takes some getting used to.  It is cramped and it takes about two hours to do even a small painting like one of these, maybe less.  When I get out I have to really stretch to get the kinks out from holding still and balancing pallet and painting.  Then, I wonder, will Dennis (my hubby) notice the new spots of color that have been added to his dashboard or steering wheel by a stray brush.  So far so good!

Gray Mountains

6"x 6" oil on wood, $75.  The first two above are looking out over to the east over the ocean and this little one is looking north and a little to the west.  This was a rather dark day in mid November.

Early Morning Paddle

Click here to view blog

6"x 12" Oil on wood panel.   SOLD.   Hump Cove is an ideal location for kayaking due to its calm waters, rugged cost line and marine life.  Everyday during the summer months we see harbor porpoises feeding in the cove.  It is a great experience to be in your kayak with porpoises swimming all around you.    They tend to come at any hour of the day or evening and are easy to see in the clear water.

Thank you to those of you who are leaving me comments!  It really helps me to get your feed back!  I am happy to take requests as well.
