Sitka Sunset

Sitka Sunset

I wanted to paint the same scene in three different lights.  So, in searching through my photos I found this sunset from our trip last year to Sitka, Alaska.  This is taken from right outside the B&B where we stayed.  I have the same scene on a cloudy day, which I'll post tomorrow.  And, once more in different light the day after.

I know that I'm really fortunate that my husband and I are able to travel near and far.  This is from a road trip to Arizona.  Lee's Ferry is below the Glen Canyon Dam where you put in to raft down the Colorado River into the Grand Canyon.

Alau Island, Maui, Hawaii

Alau Island
6" x 8" Oil
$100.00 + $10. s/h

My husband and I just got back from 3 weeks on Maui.  It was my first trip to Hawaii and I hope not my last!  No wonder so many people talk about, love and visit Hawaii!!  Those of you who have been following my blog for awhile know that we love to travel and take advantage of every opportunity we have.  The weather was perfect for plein air painting.  I was so easy to enjoy the gorgeous scenery, to sit and relax, hike, go to the beach,whale watch, snorkel and paint!  I'll be sharing my paintings and photos in my upcoming blog posts.

You can see dirt and sand on this piece from its' fall.  I waited for it to dry and brushed them all off.  Part of the fun of plein air painting!

I want to thank everyone for all the comments on the blogs I posted while we were away.  I pre-posted them as I knew that we wouldn't always have access to internet.  I'll start commenting back on yours now that I'm back.

This is about where we set up to paint, on a bay just south of Hana.

I was amazed by the lava coastline and the incredible, pounding surf on this side of the island.

This banyan tree is in Haleakala National Park.  It's size was unbelievable.  And roots/trunk!

Plein Air Alaska: Prince of Wales Island

I created a video (my first ever) of our trip to Alaska.  The video includes my plein air pieces, as well as snippets of the area.  Hope you enjoy!
