White nights of summer in Alaska

July 3, 2010 by alaskanraven

8 p.m. Beautiful summer evening.
Warm.
Clouds dance on the horizon between the patches of blue sky.
Cumulonimbus towers above everything else and demands attention.
The mountains peak out occasionally from the curtain of clouds. The blue distant hills stand in front.

10 p.m.The low sun pours warm tones over the valley. The aspen tree trunks show off blue and orange in the night light. The field colors become more and more interesting.

Midnight:
Towering cloud shines a surprisingly bright orange yellow. Dramatic contrast to the purplish dark clouds. The whole valley appears to be washed in a spotlight of orange light. Splashes of alizarin, violet and orange can be seen in the sky, water and on the trees.

No time to sleep. Don’t miss the WHITE NIGHTS of summer

“Sterling, What is the artist doing now?” “What do you mean, Felix?” “She spends lots of time brushing paint on the sides of her painting. The edges. You know what I mean?” “She makes changes on it when she changes the front of the painting. The sides appear to be important to her.” “But why?” […]

more about Raven

I ventured to Alaska before there was an oil pipeline and fell in love with the gnarly spruce trees, intense weather and mountains I could touch. Very different from the landscape in St. Louis. I was looking for different. The spruce trees: those scraggy, wizened, lanky conifers danced onto the first page of my sketch […]
