"
Alaska is by far the most inspiring wilderness I have ever
experienced. This Alaskan Retrospect is a diary in art of
the moments that touched me the most. I invite all to join
me on Saturday Sept 20, 2008 as I unveil these 'moments' in
the form of ten new original pieces of art. I will also be
presenting over two hundred of the photographs that mapped
out my two week adventure in the Alaskan wild. See the scenes
that inspired the art! I look forward to sharing my inspiration
with everyone!"

Originals
The originals
below will only be available on September 20, 2008. New Originals
will be posted as the show draws closer, so visit often to see the
new additions to the show!
"Arctic
Council" - Arctic Wolves
Image size: 34" x 24"
This
painting was inspired by the vast tundra of the arctic circle,
the only home of these beautiful canines. Their bland bleached
coats created a wonderful contrast to the rich autumn colours
of the tundra. |

"Alaskan
Monarch " Bald Eagle
Image Size: 11" x 16"
"From
the moment I photographed this Alaskan Bald Eagle I was intrigued
by the play of the plumage on his head. It was amazing how intricate
and refined the feathers were, and how many were required to
create this noble brow." |

"Icy
Strait Mariners" Orcas
Image Size: 15" x 24"
The glaciers
are a marvel that everyone should have the opportunity to
see. The "ice thunder" of falling pieces of glacier
is haunting. The shear mass of this ice leaves one to think
of what the world was like when it was covered with ice?

"Were
The Salmon Run" Colour Study
Image Size: 6" x 14"
"this
mist drenched river caught my wife and I as we drove down the
Alaska coastline. We both watched as the salmon made their way
down the river by the hundreds. The salmon run is truly a sight
to see." |

"Gateway
To Alaska"
Image Size: 10" x 20"
"I
saw this stunning sunset at the mouth of the Hubbard Glacier
in Alaska. Its colour and beauty gave me instant inspiration"

"Denali
Autumn "
Moose
Image Size: 24" x 40"
"This
painting was inspired by a face to face encounter I had with
this rather large fellow well inside Denali National Park. I
watched this moose make its way across the tundra heading right
for me, hidden in the underbrush! Fortunately for me the moose
decided to carry on with his day leaving me in a state of relief
and the best moose photos I have ever taken."
