#57 "Homer Cabin" 3x5 oil on canvas


On a previous trip to Alaska, sister Deb and I snowshoed back to this cabin. It belongs to her friends Rita and Bill.  It was a beautiful spot and it snowed on our way in. Finally the snow stopped and I went outside and took a photo of the cabin and the warm glow of light coming thru the window.....  Magical spot!!! Visited there this past summer but it didn't look like this!!!!

Once again, I simply used the palette knife..... These look really cool on a small wooden easel!

#56 "Lighthouse" 3x5 oil on canvas


Last summer while in Indiana I decided to try a painting using only a palette knife. It was OK but I found that I really liked the way the paint lays on the canvas...... So, since I've got a few of these 3x5 canvas, I decided to keep messing around with the, "knife.".

#55 "Ninilchik" 9x12 oil on canvas

While in Alaska during the summer of 2011, we visited the little town of Ninilchik on our way to Homer. Saw this old boat sitting in the weeds. I'm going to look at this awhile and decide if I need to do anything to it. I've got some ideas....
