Watching Eye

My new pen and ink doodle drawing in my sketch book - something like octopus with tentacles and intense watching eye. 

Starry Night

This is small 6x8 inches abstract painting with something like a window frame and blurry stars outside. Everything looks monochrome in a weak light of stars and other light probably from setting sun or lights of a city. I have a very original name for the painting - Starry Night.

Elf Portrait

This little weird Elf was guarding our house for about 10 years and now he's gone to Spain to live (with my husband's daughter). I hope he will be as happy house guard over there too.
Meanwhile I thought to paint his portrait using some sketches I made earlier.

Eagle Beach, Alaska

Gorgeous colorful sunset north from Juneau, Alaska on Eagle beach. Artwork size 12x12 inches, painted in acrylic on gallery wrap stretched canvas. 

Green Island Lighthouse.

We pass this island on Alaska ferry ship in the evening. I was already sitting on my bed - cot on a upper deck of ferry ship Columbia, when suddenly I saw that beautiful view. It was too unexpected and a little bit too dark to take a photo so I just sketched it really quick and made the acrylic painting at home.

I found that this is amazing lighthouse (actually it's called lightstation) with lightkeeper family live there all year around.
There is a wonderful post about the lighthouse, it's history and people in Eva Lazarus blog. That's how she describe it:
"Green Island, likely named because it’s not, is a rocky wasteland 25 miles north of Prince Rupert, eight miles from the Alaska border and the most northern lighthouse in the province. No trees grow on this lump of ice in winter, where 50 knot winds constitute a light breeze and last for weeks."
