FALL VIEW

                                               gouache 6" x 9"

I started this before going to Juneau the beginning of October and when I came back and finished it, much of the leaves were gone on the cottonwoods and willow.

A COUPLE OF LITTLE PAINTINGS

FAIRWEATHERS  4"x 9" gouache
 I started this at the beach and finished it at home.  This is part of the Fairweather range which we see when the weather is clear. I did this with a lot of underpainting.   Its smaller than the watercolor I did in my sketchbook on site but took about 6 times as much time.  I got Mount Fairweather (the one on the right larger than it appears here.  It is the tallest, but is farther away.

JOHN'S BATH HOUSE 4" X 5 1/2" watercolor
  John, a dear friend passed away last week in California and about 20 friends gather on Sunday at his cabin  to remember him .  I set on his deck and painted this, remembering other days enjoying his company while we painted together.

I've got some more things going in the studio, but today I'm taking the ferry to Juneau for a few days.
