Grey Mtn Adventure 10 x 8 inches oil on canvas panel |
Yikes, where did the time go? It was just summer,
now it is autumn.
We headed north for some sun.
That sounds funny
but it is a true fact that SE Alaska
has had a VERY rainy summer.
Our trip yielded lots of sun,
tons of hiking
(our friends mountain biked)
and very good adventures.
We ferried north to Skagway, Alaska
and drove the Klondike Hwy
to Whitehorse, Yukon Territories, Canada!
Eric and Julia - mtn bikers extraordinaire! |
Hiking |
We got to the top of Grey Mtn! Whitehorse in the distance. |
From the ferry LeConte on the way home from Skagway. |
I even painted a picture.

Getting started with paint |
Not too many bugs and no wind! |
I struggled with this painting a bit.
Could not get the road to look like a road.
It looked like a river! |
anyhoo ... happy about the painting anyway.
Thanks to everyone who checks in to see what is going on in SE Alaska
or wherever I am ...
Happy painting
and
happy autumn!

What a great post, Teri. Love the painting (gorgeous color palette), love the photos!! Really enjoyed the tour.
Happy autumn to you, too!
Thanks so much Chris - it was such a fun weekend! Wish I had a few more days to hike and paint ... actually the colors are probably much better now and in a week than when we were there. I do appreciate you reading (and commenting on) my blog!
