Capturing Alaska

"Alaska's Mountains and Meadows" Watercolor 30x18, Prints Available

This is a painting of a view of Alaska I photographed  from a trip I was blessed to get to take with my son Last Summer (2013) It was great. I was hosted by my old college roomie. It was a great time seeing all of God's beauty and catching and eating Salmon. I hope to go again someday. See below some of the photos of the trip, and a map of where we were when we captured this view of some of Alaska's Mountains and Meadows. I may make some prints of this image, email or message me if interested. The original is for Martin and Robin. Below is the Map of where we were. See the green locator.

"A" Marks the spot about where we were for the painted view.

This is one of the photos I worked from.

"Palouse Red and Green" - Demo

"Palouse Red and Green" (North Idaho) Oil on Canvas 48x34 - $4,500

This is a place just north of where I live in North Idaho. (go north of Potlatch, take deep creek road head north than take a road heading west. drive until you get up kind of high, and you will see some neat views south. ) The barn needed a cupola, so I painted one on it. Otherwise the painting is pretty  much as the land lies. I have been wanting to paint a classic big north Idaho palouse shot with red barn and the green hills for some time. So finally here it is. Email me if interested in the original painting, and I may make some prints as well if there is interest in this.

Here are some of the steps taken to create the big Palouse Red and Green Painting.

My son Josh helped get started on this painting. He painted the sky, and the mountain bkgd. When he helps me paint, we sign the paintings A&J Sewell.

Palouse Plein Air Event - First Place Award

Garden Studebaker (Plein Air) oil on panel, 11x14 sold.

Listening to and obeying the still small voice, rewards us. For several years, I have been having an inner prompting telling me to expand into oil painting. There has been resistance to do this. but since January 2013, I finally decided to listen and obey. I hit it hard this year to learn to oil paint and stretch myself into practicing and learning plein air. Tonight I was blessed and honored to have my painting above chosen first place in the week long palouse plein air event. Thank God for the still small voice he speaks. See the progression of how the piece was created below!
