“Magenta Marsh” 16″ x 20″ acrylic on Masonite © Sold.
One of the last paintings in my Denali Highway series, “Magenta Marsh” was completed in 1992 and depicts the Tangle Lakes region during a serious cloud cover. This was one of those moments during a storm when the rain takes a pause, the air is calm and heavy, silver water motionless and the tundra intensely vivid, richly colored enhanced by dampness, each leaf holding a pearl of water, stunning and awesome. A moment in time, suspended, and painted to remember. A limited edition print of “Magenta Marsh” was made in 1993 and given to preferred customers by the National Bank of Alaska as a Christmas gift. All 2,500 copies are signed my myself and the president of the bank, and are a collectors item today. After reviewing my early work of the Denali Highway I’m inspired and ready to jump into the truck and camper and visit this exquisite part of interior of Alaska again, it has been awhile since my last trip.

I would buy a painting of the tangle lakes by the camp ground if you had one. It is our favorite place to be in the summer.
I have painted that area many times during my 36 years in Alaska, I agree it is a wonderful place in the summer. I don’t think I have anything available at the moment of that exact area. Thank you for your interest in my work.
