My Summer Catch of Watercolors


In spite of being smack in the middle of prime salmon and halibut fishing grounds, I don't really care to go fishing much unless the sun is out and the water calm.  I'd rather leave foul weather fishing to the experts in my family while I stay dry at the cabin and paint all day.  Fortunately, that usually gives me quite a few long, relaxing days to paint and come up with a good catch of new paintings:

My new paintings from around Excursion Inlet:

Paintings from around Fairbanks, Alaska:

Cranes at Creamer's Field, Fairbanks


Wilderness Cabin


And, of course, I must paint flowers to be happy:


Daisies

Pansies

Poppies

Lilies



Many of these pantings will be included in my October show at the Fairbanks Community Museum.  I'll post more details about the show soon, so please check back.
