Good at overthinking the “describe yourself” thingies. I paint, knit, draw, and spend as much time as possible outside.

I live here with this dog

Bear tracks on a sandy beach, the back foot measures about 10 inches long.

A dog friend at a party last spring…related to knitting because his human is an expert sock knitter I see at our weekly knit night.
Close up view of a St. Bernard dog, big black nose very close to the camera, eyes looking a little sad

I am really enjoying making these (slightly bigger than tiny) watercolors.
A 4 by 6 inch water color painting of mountains across a river, the sun is shining from the left, casting shadows

Hey northern friends, 1 more week to the most important winter holiday! #alaskasky
View across a body of water toward mountains that are in shadow, the sun is setting behind the mountains and the sky is mostly clear with a few clouds on the edges

This is a small, 2x3 inch, watercolor painting

The view from the drivers’ seat, my arctic “office”
Sunny day, looking at the reflection in the rear view mirror of an older white bus. In the mirror is a long camera lens, the surrounding landscape is arctic, flat and partly snow covered

Latest project, top down yoked sweater with bears and flowers… I just hope I don’t hate it (aka think it’s too cute to wear) by the time I finish all the gray. I was going to make polar bears in honor of trips through your city to Churchill.
Unfinished knitting project, it’s a sweater knit from the top/neck down. The color work is brown bears wearing pink hats against a light blue background. There are pink flowers dividing the color work portion from the light grey body color.

Just felt the need to share some sky, blue mostly. #alaskasky
Distant snow-capped mountains with sun rising behind them. Sky is blue at the top, fading to yellow then orange at the bottom. Viewer is standing on a frozen beach next to a frozen river. Cold

Small dead fish tail up, head down. Fish is a smelt-like fish that spawns in the early spring, eulochon. This is posted to a thread that says “no description” but am determined to keep up my alt text game.

I have been painting wee sweaters on them like so. None of them cracked, foil made no difference.
Two very small hand made white clay bears wearing painted sweaters. One sweater is blue, the other is red. The bears look slightly sad

<< but also below. She is Lark (f’lark, bark, shark, snark)
Pointy eared, long-legged white dog sits on a slightly tattered carpet looking with curiosity at something just out of frame, at the photographer’s feet.

Does the red pin 📌 thing actually work? Oh and hey, hi to all my fellow #Alaska folks!
Pebbled beach in the foreground, calm river water in the middle with a reflection of the snow-capped mountains in the back ground. A few cartoonishly puffy clouds in the very blue sky.

Lark, the Dog is impressed by your good taste
A white dog with pointy ears is sitting on a rippled sandy beach in front of snow capped mountains that are across a river. The dog looks philosophical and the sky is blue

I offer you Lark the dog (see profile photo) on a beach alongside the Chilkat river

Another idea from the brain vault, bear ornaments made of paper clay. One with foil inside, one solid to see who dries first, with fewer cracks. I am so not a sculptor!
