Magic Valley Oil on canvas 60 x 36 in Collection of the University of Alaska Museum, Fairbanks Magic Valley was painted in mid-June, 1990, on the east bank of the Achillik River in ANWR. This was a landing spot only Roger Dowding, our pilot, knew about. After that flight, he told us he'd not use it again. It was boggy and hard to take off with any sort of load. |
