Greetings from Alaska...

Glacier Bay Country Inn

In Alaska, this lone cottonwood tree sat in a field behind the Glacier Bay Country Inn where I stayed with my family earlier this month. I painted this on the only day we saw sunshine and one of the few glimpses that we had of those distant mountains of the Fairweather Range. I saw my first moose walk across this field later in the week.

The inn is situated in Gustavus, Alaska:  population 428. To get there we needed to travel by plane since, as opposed to Rome, no roads lead to Gustavus.
