http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. Patty’s request sounded simple. “Would you paint my stump? 8221; She had seen a couple of my gnome paintings and wanted one - the stump in her back yard with gnomes in it. The actual stump in Patty's back yard. And so " Patty’s Stump Erupts in Play When She’s Away. Was conceived. As a spin off, when Karen and I set off on future road trips or even on Karen...

Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes: Wrong Way in a One Way State
http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2015/01/wrong-way-in-one-way-state.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Wrong Way in a One Way State. Urban Oregon highway designers have a fetish for one-way streets. Worse, to add variety to the driving experience, they like to switch them up with two-way streets. I can just hear them in their planning sessions: "let's shake those out-of-staters up a bit.". Dawn dawns on our Forest Grove vacation rental. Speaking of bucket...

Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes: Gnomes by the Inch
http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/gnomes-by-inch.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Gnomes by the Inch. At the end of the gala affair Karen and I purchased the last 120 square inches of it for ourselves. It now resides in our dining nook where I still consider the purchase a good investment. Gnomeland 15 x 22 inches before being cut up Alkyd on watercolor paper. The top half of Gnomeland that survived. Don and Karen Cornelius Artwork. I stuc...

Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes: Two Fishers
http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2015/06/two-fishers.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Thursday, June 4, 2015. Two portraits — one theme (albeit obscure). Pastor Al (also known as Pastor Owl to Sawyer at his age depicted in the painting “Sunday Morning Lesson”) has devoted his life to being a fisher of men. Sarah in the painting “Budding Scientist” was a fisher of a sole (as opposed to a soul as was Pastor Al). 12x16 inches Alkyd on Canvas. Portraits by Don Cornelius.

Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes: Foggy Coast
http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2015/04/foggy-coast.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Friday, April 10, 2015. With two sunny days on the Oregon coast committed to our memory banks, Karen and and I were already tallying up our options for how to savor our last two days lazing among those rays. Should I paint at this log or that one, where was the best spot on our deck to read without getting too much sunburn, did we have enough sunscreen? Find a yummy dead or soon to ...

Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes: Two Annas
http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2015/04/two-annas.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Names are often a good indicator of one’s age. Take my name, Don or, officially, Donald. It’s unlikely that you’ll see it on the roster of children registered for kindergarten these days. Even. Anna in the Garden. 12 x 12 inches Alkyd on Canvas. I changed some of the flowers in this garden from white something or others to lupines that matched the color o...

Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes: January 2014
http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Saturday, January 25, 2014. Grangeville, Idaho, lies on the western edge of the Bitterroot Range. I had barely heard of the town before I arrived the evening I painted the apple tree, much less expected to spend two nights there. My first glimpse into the South Fork of the Clearwater drainage in Nez Perce National Forest. 9 x 12 inches Alkyd of Raymar Panel I couldn't wait to set up...

Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes: November 2014
http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Sunday, November 30, 2014. The remaining nights Mandy borrowed a cushion from a porch chair while now seasick Karen abandoned the rocking raft to join Mandy using an air mattress for reinforcement. Alone on the upstairs "craft" I slept like a golden retriever on a living room sofa. There we thought we were enjoying the peak of color in the autumn foliage. Wrong! We rendezvoused with...

Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes: December 2014
http://donkarencorneliusartwork.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Alaska and Beyond Through Artists' Eyes. Paintings, Photographs and Adventures of Alaskan artists, Don and Karen Cornelius. Monday, December 29, 2014. Christmas and Easter Girls. It still seems unorthodox to be “borrowing” images from Facebook without asking for permission, but how can I surprise friends with a painting if I tell them in advance? Tesla 12x12 Alkyd on Canvas. Wanting to paint something for Tesla's grandparents who are always giving unselfishly to others I chanced upon Paul's Newman's phot...
