While on board the ship, I managed to do a few paintings and studies during our trip to Alaska a few years ago, this painting came out of those studies. Mainly I was trying to capture some of the incredible beauty surrounding us and how small we felt next to some of the massive mountains we found along the way. In the painting, you may see some tiny trees which do give somewhat of a scale to the actual size of these ranges. As it was late in the season, there were only a few icebergs around but we often came across smaller clusters of ice floating near the shore. Soon, the winter snows and blizzards would come to this part of the world but for that day, we had perfect weather. A cool breeze but beautiful sunny skies - perfect for viewing vistas such as this. 8 x 10 inches, oil on board.
