Greenland

In August 2016 I returned to the arctic and continued to  work on the  long term study and documentation of the arctic's incredibly beautiful yet fragile changing landscape. Also i am hoping to soon publish a book of arctic paintings and have some fine reference to work from and thus add to the large collection of studio paintings and plein-air works completed. A selection can be viewed in the arctic wonders galleries  and its links .

Many thanks to One Ocean expeditions for navigating us through the arctic's waterways,  and to view its wildlife. Always special  to visit  the wonderful folks that have lived on this land long before the age of exploration. History and stories are written and preserved across the tundra and beneath the surface of  water and ice. It is my hope that  i can bring a few of them to light on paper.

Mt. Fitz Roy, Patagonia, Argentina

David McEown

One of my favourite places to paint is in Patagonia , South America. In particular I am drawn back to the town of   El Chalten, Argentina. Located just below Mt. Fitz Roy, it is here we use as a base for day trips and overnight excursions. This past early November was a special time to visit as the spring wildflowers were on display in various stages as we gained elevation.

 We lucked out with weather and had clear views, and was able to be in t- shirt which was welcome after just arriving from several weeks in Antarctica. Was able to capture some time lapse video of paintings in progress.
