Seward, Alaska late spring. Snow is still on all the mountains, but the sun was rising on a crisp, spring morning in Seward Harbor. I always liked fishing boats having grown up around them in Northern California.

Winter 2025
I was busy during Summer and Fall of 2024 selling notecards and art. So I am catching up. Below are some new art and a few older pieces. Being an Alaskan Artist is a joy as well as a challenge.
Probably the last winter watercolor to be posted since the present Alaskan winter is coming to an end. It is a painting of a farm near our home where I buy potatoes. You can see old farm equipment and an old out building. Click on image to see larger version.
Below is a sketch of Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is a Spanish mission founded September 1, 1772 by Father JunÃpero Serra in San Luis Obispo, California. I did the sketch sitting in front of the mission on sunny day in early January. It was a very relaxing time.

Winter 2023 and Beyond
This watercolor is based on a photo I took in Homer, Alaska. Alaska uses a lot of small civilian aircraft because of there is not an extensive highway system in this very large state. Many of these aircraft also serve the tourist industry which is big in Alaska.

Summer 2022
We started out with a very hot summer for our region of Alaska, this year, but by July it started raining. The good news is that we are back to wonderful warm weather again. Below is a commission I completed last October. It measures 15" x 22". The subject is Pioneer Peak the predominant mountain where I live. The client wanted a winter scene with a bit of alpenglow.
The next watercolor I painted in my back yard in August. The alaskan summer sun is intensely shining through the birch trees and forest. A peaceful feeling.

Alaskan Spring 2022
Started focusing my paintings on a local mountain Called Pioneer Peak. The winter snow has melted for us in the valley, but it will linger on another month or two on the mountains around us. Painted this version in the late afternoon of April. This painting has already sold and measures 11" x 15".
