Inspiration for Turnagain Arm


Turnagain Arm 14.5 x 22"

I took a three month camping trip to Alaska last summer. I love this late time of day, with the long shadows and subtle colors. The tides are extreme in this arm or bay, and the reflections were very clear in the shallow water. I did a small plein air painting on site, painting in the shadows first to capture the moment. I also took several reference photos. In January I used these references to paint this in my studio.
