Harding Ice Field Trail, Alaska

Finished and signed commission work titled The Harding Ice Field Trail, oil on canvas, 30” x 40.” Clients from Grand Rapids, MI are delighted with it! 
As posted earlier, what was so intriguing about the piece, besides the mesmerizing view, is that the photo was shot from a drone taking a video. The drone is being controlled by one of the hikers on the path to the left, who are the clients! The scene is in the Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska. Foreground is the Harding Ice Field Trail, leading to Exit Glacier, the background the Kenai Mountains. (This piece awakened me as to why we “hike” – to view the particulars that make up the gestalt that drew us there in the first place! 😎)

Paintings for Private and Public Places

Happy New Year 2018! I have been working on a commission piece as shown here in it's early stage. A 30” x 40” oil painting of Alaska. This area is the Harding Ice Field Trail leading to Exit Glacier. What is so intriguing about the piece, besides the mesmerizing view, is that the photo (my source with client input) was shot from a drone taking a video. The drone is being controlled by one of the hikers on the path to the left, who are the clients! Familiar with my work and delighted with my progress, they wanted a painterly, expressive rendition of the area that provides a colorful, timeless, and expansive view of what they experienced while hiking there, not just a photo copy, much to my exploratory impulsive delight.
