He has a completely committed way of working on the landscape. I originally saw his landscape painting in Anchorage Museum, we later met at Stephan Fine Arts where I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just got the most fabulous email from Susan Pacillo in Anchorage, Alaska. She and Linny Pacillo started a truly inspiring campaign called the parking fairies. I&#8217;d mentioned this in a previous blog, and that Linny had sadly died in 2006. There is now a car park in Anchorage that is named for her. 
Susan very firmly informed me that she was [...]]]></description>

Once I finished the Cook Inlet panorama I wanted to have it small with new Changeling engravings and specially designed boxes to keep them in. I wanted to get away from glass and frames. Do pictures really have to stand to attention [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve been painting. Although it&#8217;s mostly quiet when I&#8217;m working, I&#8217;ve been listening to silly SciFi stories on BBC7 and Charlie Parker and Trane. Looking for all the versions of Cole Porter songs I could find on my pod.

Something of a disadvantage if you are trying to paint them .. but I have a good feeling about this job. This hard country has been very kind to me so far. Time will tell.
