Trip way North

Our "explore" trip this summer was to Inuvik, NWT, Canada. That was the destination-but it was more about the trip as a whole. I managed to get a little sketching and painting in. Our trip was plagued with mechanical problems both with our pop-up camper and our truck. We still managed to have a good time-the scenery in the Yukon territory is amazing. I did one small painting with open acrylics-not sure I really like working with them on canvas for plein air-but in the rush of packing I had forgotten to put in watercolor paper. The painting will wait for its reveal, when we get our vehicle repaired and retrieve it and the rest of our belongings-hopefully later this month....

Here are a few shots from my sketchbook on the trip.
