Alaska Train Trip to Whittier

Another sketchbook painting - Whittier in Alaska.  It was the most interesting town.  At the time we visited, the only way to reach it was by rail. We drove our vehicle onto the rail car and road for what seemed a very long time to this very tiny town. There were a couple of gift shops and a restaurant and of course, fisherman selling the day's catch.  The great thing for merchants in this little place....they had a captive audience for 4 -5 hours until the next train came through.  I had plenty of time to paint my little blue cabin on the hillside.  The scenery was beautiful!
