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!

Sunset Downtown

24" x 24"  oil

Seward Highway

11" x 14"  oil

I feel like I might have captured the light in this one, 

but still... it's probably hard to make out what it is.

But the winding highway road and the sunlit rock wall 

caught my eye.  I'd love to go back and try this one a few more times.

 I'm getting a lot of plein air painting time in this week!

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.
