 “The earth fell away into a tremendous abyss... far below,
could be seen the summits of lesser peaks and crags, at whose
bases foamed and rumbled the Pacific surge.”
—Jack London (describing the valley depicted in this painting) |
 Destination is one of Alex’s more elaborate and intricately detailed watercolor and ink renditions. Among the many remarkable aspects of this painting is the fact that it depicts an actual place in the Hawaiian Islands; the fantastic landscape, with its tropical waterfall, beach, valley, and precipitous mountains, is not a make-believe composition. You can begin to gain a sense of the unusual level of craftwork in Destination by clicking on the close-up portions below; the selection on the left is blown up to 115% of the actual size of the painting—yet even at this larger-than-life size the degree of detail is extraordinary. The selection in the middle is magnified to 110%, and the selection on the right is the actual size of the original painting. |
