Fairbanks, Alaska - Silk Painting

I found this log cabin while I was traveling virtually in Fairbanks, Alaska.  I used a bit of artistic license with the yard.  I got rid of some of the stuff they had sitting around the yard and then re-landscaped.  I know it's very green but that's one of my favorite colors and there really is a lot of green up there.  I haven't done a silk painting for awhile so I decided to do a graphic painting of this scene.If you want to see the street map view I used, you can see it on Google street maps here.

Nature's Majesty

These two paintings were painted from the same photo.  The first one was painted a couple of months ago and the second one was finished today.  I took the picture in Alaska in Tracy Arm.  It is such a beautiful place.  I think the two paintings make the scene look very different.   The first one is a palette knife painting and the second one is a watercolor.

I like the texture in this one:

Spring Green

Here is another view from our Alaska trip. This was the view from the train that we took from Anchorage to Seward. What a beautiful, relaxing few hours that was for us. The photo for this was taken on the same day as my last painting so the day was overcast and cold feeling but there were such pretty spring greens in the foliage that I wanted to brighten up my colors for a different feel. Isn't it fun to be able to skew colors in a painting and give a completely different look? This was also done with a palette knife but I did put in the tree trunk with a brush. I just couldn't seem to get it right with the knife. Obviously, more practice is needed.

This method is so much like frosting a cake and once that image was in my head, I started having cravings so I made a spice cake with cream cheese frosting. Yummy! I can tell that this palette knife painting phase is going to cause me to gain some weight.
