Diamond Jim's



"Diamond Jim's"
11"x 14", oil on panel

This is a road side painting I did a while back.  Done in the comfort of my car.
Diamond Jim's liquor and gifts, is on your way out of town... heading down the Seward Highway, just outside of Anchorage, Alaska.  
Super cool sign!

This sign at night, is lit up, and that's another painting waiting to happen.
This is the warm up to that painting.

I love neon and really ....any lit sign at night...glowing in the dark.
(My 'Vegas' background shinning through)
If I was a bug... I'd get zapped. 

 On that note, goodnight.....it's late.

Thank you for looking and reading!

Today's plein air painting.....



11" x 14"  oil 

I did some painting along Turnagain Arm, outside of Anchorage, Alaska today. 
 I'm getting happier with my outdoor painting efforts.  It's so much
different than indoor studio painting!!  I'll get it.....just keep practicing!!!

Thank you for looking!

Turnagain Arm




This is my favorite road in the world.  I've never seen anything that has 
captured my heart as much as the Seward Highway, heading down Turnagain Arm.
Mountains and ocean together, and the road hugs the edge of where the mountains meet the water. 
It's a beautiful drive.

I'm not sure if anyone else can make out what I was painting, but I loved being out there
and this is what I saw when I painted along the roadside.
