Backlit--Fish Creek. Acrylic on canvas, $900. Found a calm sheltered place to palint. Easel only blew down three times.

Dry Pool--Jumbo Meadows. Acrylic on canvas, $900. Everything covered in yellow pollen. Searched meadows for lily pools. All pools dry.
Gold Creek--Juneau, Alaska. Acrylic on canvas, $250. Something heavy moving in the woods behind me. Hope it is a porcupine. Cottonwood seeds fill the air.
Jack Pine--Fish Creek Valley. Acrylic on canvas, NFS. A doe hesitated on the steep shoulder, turned, and was instantly absorbed by the thick summer foliage.
Jack Pine Reflection--Fish Creek Valley. Acrylic on canvas, $900. The sun was so bright it was hard to work. Took a nap.

Sawmill Creek--Sitka, Alaska. Acrylic on canvas, $900. Susi, Debbie read and talked, Sonny played in the water and rolled in dead things. I squinted into brilliant sun for several hours.
Spring--Fish Creek. Acrylic on canvas, $250. Light failed, wind rose, temperature dropped. Shouldn't have cast that last dozen times.
Stormy Meadow--Fish Creek Valley. Acrylic on canvas, $900. Set up for rain. Surrounded by robin and hermit thrush song. Pre-rain breeze was invigorating.
