Homer Spit, Low Tide


Here is another painting from my recent trip to Homer. Very low tides all that week in Homer!

This was begun in early evening on the spit. The Homer spit is a long, curving, narrow bit of land that stretches 4.5 miles into Kachemak Bay. It's a very distinctive land formation, which has changed much over the years due to exposure to earthquakes, tsunamis, and storms. Today the spit is a wonderful place to walk the beach, camp, view eagles and other seabirds, and have a great meal on the little boardwalk. The view across the bay is always a pleasant sight.

Kachemak Bay First Light


I just returned from my yearly trip to Homer for plein air painting. The weather was overcast on many days, but at dawn the light came in from under the clouds. For this painting, I stood in almost the same place as last year, when I painted Kachemak Dawn #2 (back a few pages on this blog), but the mood is so very different!

Veg Van Painting #2, Completed


Here is the second painting for the Glacier Valley Farm Community Supported Agriculture van. The first painting has already been scanned and is ready for the next phase. This one needs to dry a bit more, then a coat of varnish, then to the scanner. With any luck, the paintings will be on the van by the end of June, if not before. I will post photos of the van once they are in place!

This has been a fun and challenging project, and kept me happily occupied in the studio through the unlovely dust and mud phase of our Anchorage springtime. Now the weather is fine and my outdoor painting kit is all packed. Look for some landscapes soon!
