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.



Below is a small watercolor I did as a watercolor lesson for younger artist. It is about Del Mar, California at sunset.




Watercolor portrait made from photo. I want to keep it only two colors. Dominate Ultramarine Blue with subordinate Burnt Sienna.




Watercolor I did for a notecard I created of the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska. I took the photo this Summer on location, painted it at home in my studio.


From my sketchbook. A watercolor sketch made on location of Alaska timber. I finished a few details like the white gouache branches in my studio.
