Fox Lake, Cranberry Point - Yukon

Fox Lake 16x20 Acrylic on Canvas

The skies were very dramatic on my summer drive home from Whitehorse to my wilderness home on the Magundy River.  It takes me 4 hours to get back home - this view is on the North Klondike Highway.  I stop here often to view the lake - I loved the big stormy sky :) on this day

Summer Solstice Fireweed

This painting is  new off my easel in the last few days. I painted it to spread some warmth and light into our dark world:) It starts getting light at around 10:30 am and the sun sometimes makes a brief appearance as it crests the hills across the Magundy River and then winks:) and descends.


The Winter Solstice is not far off and then we start going the other way. 

Acrylic on Wood Cradled Panel,  22x34 inches
