Finished! @wileycason lined up this commission as a gift to his Dad. As I painted, colors from the building popped out and so did stories and anecdotes about the building via email from Wiley. This place has quite the history. What a cool opportunity to be part of a thoughtful gift. 12”x12” acrylic on canvas. Fall in Alaska. It's so gorgeous, that every single year I forget how long the winter is that follows. I revel in every minute of the electric blue, crisp cold feeling. And long time friends will attest that I've been doing this way before PSLs were a thing! I've made a fall mix tape/CD/now-Spotify playlist every year since I was thirteen. This page has been picking up followers - awesome, and welcome! I'm Alli, I live in Alaska but am originally from Massachusetts, and I enjoy 1) sandwiches, 2) growing mysteriously and unnervingly large sunflowers. You might think that as an artist I have access to a sublime, rainbow filled "flow" zone where I pick up a paintbrush and float away on a magic cloud for a while. But we can't all be Bob Ross (nor is my hair game nearly as strong). For me, painting is worth the work it takes because I am trying to connect myself and you to more deeply notice and experience everyday beauty that surrounds us. In Alaska, I am lucky to be surrounded by some extremely extreme beauty, but that doesn't stop me from painting the contrast between the "everyday" (street lights, road signs, people) and our natural environs. My dream is to pick up and travel, to explore and learn different places and paint there, too. Right now I'm slowly working to make that dream a reality - which is where you come in! Hopefully over the coming months and years you'll get to see that dream unfold right here. Thank you for following, enjoy, and always feel free to comment, ask stuff, and share away. New tiny painting! This little guy is a mere 5"x7", but packs so much in. I loved painting this even though it took a lot of even breathing, a steady hand, and attention to surprising color and light throughout.
