It's been a long time since I experienced a really starry night out in the middle of nowhere. The most epic stars I ever witnessed were on a trip I took to Alaska more than 10 years ago. I had never seen anything like those night skies. This painting by Maine artist Dozier Bell recalls the feeling I experienced then.

Very cool painting....at first I thought it was simp a photo.Nothing like gazing at the stars....
ReplyDeleteLove your blog.Thanks for sharing.
This painting is gorgeous! I love being able to view stars far from city lights, and I can only imagine how incredible it must have been to see them in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteamazing work

Actually, that's Dozier Bell, not Gold! Glad you like the painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sisyphus! Obviously my head was elsewhere (can't imagine where I conjured Gold from!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction - I have fixed the post!
