New places, new challenges

 Every artist I know likes to travel.  Going to a new place stirs the imagination, inspires, and presents new challenges.  such was our recent cruise along Alaska's inside passage.  The weather was mostly cloudy, but the scenery was inspiring nonetheless.  i will be painting from this trip in the future.  Here are my first four pieces.

  1. You pack more detail into an 8x10 than any other artist I've ever seen! Great job. Always love to see your latest work.
