Detour: Alaska!

Now that I'm working on this project, I am finding art everywhere!  I am currently in Anchorage, Alaska, on a family vacation.

Beautiful pillar in the Seattle Airport

Fred Machetanz's Quest for Avuk (1973) at the Anchorage Museum


Sydney Laurence's Arctic King (1925)  Laurence is considered one of Alaska's best landscape painters.

My son, Ben, inside the jawbones of a juvenile whale

This whale skeleton struck me as Art.  What do you think?
