The Alaskan Miniature Paintings

As a help to pilots who need to know the current weather conditions in various parts of Alaska, the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) has setup webcams in many remote regions. Inspired by these webcam photos, Philadelphia artist and musician Betsy Alexander has created a series of small, evocative works known as The Alaska Paintings (3.5″ x 5″, acrylic on wood). Alexander, whose dream it is to one day travel to and through Alaska, can be found on the Internet every day checking out the sunset photos as they are uploaded.
