Dear painters, art aficionados, and art explorers everywhere. I would never have guessed this journal would keep my interest for so long! Join me as I learn about the processes of painting, drawing and at times, the history of art.

Bear Glacier, British Columbia - plein air to studio painting -


In May, we flew to Seattle to visit family 
and retrieve our pickup. 
We drove home to Juneau 
via the Cassiar Hwy, Alcan 
Skagway, AK.

 I painted a few times along the way.

One place we had always wanted to visit
 is Stewart, BC and Hyder, AK 
so we made the left turn at Highway 37A 
from Meziadin Junction at Milepost J 97.5.

We "ran into" the beautiful Bear Glacier, in British Columbia:





and I made a quick pencil and painting sketch:


Bear Glacier, BC   pencil  5 x 4"


Bear Glacier, BC    oil on linen plein air sketch    8 x 6 inches   
Matt took a couple of photos 
while I was working (it was pretty chilly, 
so I am bundled up):




Back home, found a piece of Masonite that I had gessoed black.
Sketched in general guides with my pastel pencil.


And ... the result:

Bear Glacier, BC    oil on Masonite panel  18 x 11.75


Thank you so much for viewing! 
Hope you are all having a good summer - 
Solstice is almost here!

You nailed it, Teri. What a beautiful painting!
And thanks for the travel log. Visiting Alaska is on the bucket list.

Thank you Chris! If you ever are planning your Alaskan trip, let me know and I can try to help you narrow down the zillions of places to see.
