Last week, just before the sun set behind the mountains, I caught some of the last color in the sky. Hatcher Pass.

About Me
- Douglas Girard
- I am an artist living in Alaska. My landscape paintings are created from a great love of nature’s many changing moods, and the sense of mystery and expectation that is created from ever varying colors and shapes. Shifting clouds that create spots of light that dance over the mountains is what catches my eye. The interplay between massive rock walls, water, and low hanging clouds are also endlessly intriguing to me. A magical moment is when clouds move over and envelope the mountains, dissolving rocky peaks and shimmering water into a mysterious apparition. Distant craggy islands, hidden lakes, misty mountains, small ponds and fog enshrouded fields are also inspirational. The female figure, symbolizing truth and beauty, and her interaction with the spiritual essence I find in the mountains is pivotal in my figurative work.
