Alaska Inspriation

It's really hard to explain Alaska to somebody who has never been there.  You are more likely to understand what Alaska really means by the look in someones eyes.  They always say "the eyes are the window to the soul."  That's where Alaska lies, deep in ones soul.

I always thought I'd like to take a trip to Alaska and spend the summer.  So many times driving around AK, you come over a rise, and there in front of you will be something so amazing, so beautiful, your brain can barely comprehend it.  I want to experience that longer than a couple weeks.  Slow down, really experience Alaska.  Maybe start driving around April 15th from here in Upstate, NY.  Make stops along the way.  Paint, fish, enjoy myself.  That'll happen when I hit the lottery early next year... (wink wink)

Until then, I'll have to paint from pics I took.

"Looking West Near Seattle Creek" 12x24 Acrylic on Canvas.

 The Denali highway.... If you've never been on it, you don't know what beauty is. Pretty simple.  I chose to build a frame myself again.  I think it enhances the creative process.  Love the knots in the wood.
