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.
