Painting Atmautluak 17
Atmautluak dog team photo.
Some of the participants for the Atmautluak village sled dog race were dressed beautifully, the gentleman standing on the sled wore a gorgeous coat made of fur! Perfect for twenty below zero. I became captivated by this event and shot photos all afternoon. An idea began to formulate for my painting, I could show the racers with dog teams with the entire panorama of the village in the background. I was happy that I had already done my homework and photographed the village with close ups of the houses the day before. Tomorrow I fly home.
More tomorrow.
