There was no post for the month of August because I was off the grid in remote Alaska. I made 30 paintings in a 5″ x 8 ” notebook using a medium I never used before; Gouache. We sailed, kayaked, and hiked , exploring islands, lakes and forests, witnessing whales, bears, porpoises, seals , eagles in their wilderness world. We also listened to an audio book of  James Michener’s  ALASKA, A NOVEL. The native peoples who called this home centuries ago came alive as we moved through their territory. More paintings will be posted soon
