Antarctic Series #4 - Icebergs Outside British Base, Rothera



"Icebergs Outside British Base, Rothera Antartica"
Oil on canvas  18" x 20"

This view was very serene and still. Our son took the photo reference when he was flying in the Antarctic. It had a real majestic, ancient and cold look to it.

Antarctic series #3 - Departing British Base Rothera



"Departing British Base Rothera"
Oil on canvas   16" x 20"
#20029516 $300 unframed

The reference photo is a view from the plane just leaving the base in Antarctica taken by our son while working as a pilot for Kenn Borek Air. I loved the colour and shapes as well as the feel of the isolation and lack of human intervention.

Antarctic Series #1 - Antarctic Fall

This is the first painting I did in a series from photo references our son Curtis took while he was working as a pilot in Antarctica over 2 seasons. I tried to capture the majestic size and shape of the mountains and icebergs in this series. I found them very awe inspiring and was so grateful to have his reference photos.

"Approaching"


"Approaching"
Oil on board  20" x 16"
$300 unframed
#20028115

This painting is based on a photo taken by our son, Curtis while he was working in the Antarctic. Their plane was flying low over the huge, many storied high icebergs. I loved the sense of depth as well as the view that humans are close but there are still boundaries to Mother Nature. This painting has been entered into "Earth Matters" art contest.
