Retired, so I work on other fun things, esp. art. The images posted here are a sampling of my art. See more of my art work (photography, painting, and drawing) at www.stephenabreithaupt.com
Here are a few photos from our trip to Northern British Columbia this past September. We had a great trip with several wildlife sightings. The fall colors were also spectacular.
Many more photos from the trip are on my website (www.stephenabreithaupt.com) in the 2025 page.

A spectacular view of the Salmon River glacier. Access is via a mining road that originates in Stewart BC and passes through Hyder AK before returning to BC. Beware of flat tires on this road! We got one. Carry a good spare and/or satellite capable phone.

This is an updated version of my previous posting emphasizing focal point and deemphasizing background. I like it better than my previous post.

Chicken Shack, 16x12 (300 dpi), Rebelle 8

Painting from online class assignment at @winslowartcenter.bsky.social. The goal was to use a plan to loosen the painting. I think it works.

I traveled to some of the Rocky Mountain parks recently. Here are some photos taken with my #Fujifilm X-T5 camera and processed using #CaptureOne and #Affinity2.

Big Moon Storm
This is a Rebelle 7 painting using a Grunge oil paint brush. I did it in about one hour as a study in loose brush strokes. With the shapes being simple, it was easy to focus on keeping it loose. The reference was posted previously.

Big moon storm

Used Affinity 2 to develop my moon images to create a composite image. The moon repaces the moon in the original storm image.

Cascades, morning light 3

I painted this in Rebelle 7 from my reference image of morning sunlight streaming past Glacier Peak, with Big Four in the foreground.
