Mountain Pass in the Far North: Canvas Uncropped Print

Mountain Pass in the Far North Oil Painting of Dall's sheep grazing on foliage in a mountain pass. Far up north in the arctic wilderness of the Brooks Range in Alaska, wildlife is preparing for the winter to come. Milder days are beginning to grow slightly colder, and the sun has begun to set briefly for the first time in months. The landscape has rocks and patches of permanent snow scattered throughout. Clouds above light the scenery with a pale golden colour. The pass acts as a gateway to the wilds. These unique and remote lands are on top of permafrost below the midnight sun. This place along the way marks the beginning of a journey, passing into the far valleys and the north slope beyond.
