Painting Description

I painted this piece from the top deck of our cruise ship as we headed south to Vancouver. The brightly-hued houses pulled me to them like a magnet. These Alaskan frame buildings sit like pools of paint on a palette overlapping and contrasting with their neighbours. This rainy section of the Alaskan coast with its gaily coloured buildings puts me in mind of patterns that I have painted in the equally-moist outports of Newfoundland. Because I was painting from the upper level of a ship, I was able to be eyeball to eyeball with these cottages, not looking up from the bottom of the hill.
