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.

First is a sketch of Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is a Spanish mission founded September 1, 1772 by Father Junípero 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.

Next is a painting I did from a photo I took on my way to Fairbanks, Alaska during Covid. We stopped at a rest stop and I saw this beautiful view of Alaska.The outdoors of Alaska was the right place to be during those times.
 

Below, is a recent watercolor of Thunderbird Falls, a cascade that flows From Eklutna lake through a canyon into the Eklutna river.

Another Sketch I did in late fall of 2024 of the area around the community of Glacier View, Alaska. I did it from a photo I took during the Fall. Glacier view is an hour and a half by car over beautiful mountain passes and terrain from our house.

The next sketch is that of a barn in the Farming Colony of the Matanuska Valley of Alaska. I saw an old BW photo of the barn and did this two color sketch (Ultra Marine Blue and Burnt Sienna).

Float Plane I saw in Homer, Alaska when we went there last Summer. Homer is always an interesting place to visit with its diversity of sea life as well as different trees and terrain from our area of Alaska where we live. I think it is a Turbo Beaver.
