That first "sight" of Alaska, was every bit as overwhelming to me as my first glimpse of the grand canyon.
Emotional.
I Quickly - very quickly, laid down water on paper trying to at least capture a moment, a second in time. The color of the water, the sky and the mountains. The shapes.
Artistically, I learned a lot about light during this trip. Painting light. Photographing light - observing atmosphere and how it "morphs"
companions.
I did manage to get a few good subpaintings.
The speed at which we were traveling did not permit me to add much detail
I did photograph each morning's vision, so I will be able to refer back to add a bit more detail to each journal page.
This activity every morning was a valuable learning exercise. I think I will continue to pursue it.

So beautiful! I would love to go to Alaska. Painting through your trip is such a great idea. Some experiences are so visual, words just don't work. Thanks for sharing!
