Magnificent Alaskan Glaciers

For one week in July we traveled the Inner Passage waterway of Alaska -- seeing magnificent glaciers, whales, fjords, millions of evergreens, eagles -- and marveled at the splendor of it all.

Our group consisted of 20 family members of all ages from different parts of the United States.

Upon return I started to paint the glaciers that I saw -- always reminded of the fact that they are receding at a rapid rate. As a matter of fact we witnessed a huge glacial segment that tumbled into the water with a resounding thunderous sound!

Here are two more watercolors that were inspired by this trip.
