Paintings for sale at the Viroqua Food Coop

I have 8 of my latest oil landscape paintings for sale at the Viroqua Food Coop for the month of August. There are 6 shown here and the originals show much better than these photos! I am grateful for the chance to share with my hometown what I have been up to since the closure of Art Vision.

Sunlit Sailboats

sold 8x10 -Door County plein air event

Three of my art group members went up to the Door County plein air paintout. Kathie Wheeler went for the whole week as a featured artist, and Carla Christ and I went for the Saturday Quick paint that was open for anyone who wanted to compete. I had 2 hours to capture these boats in the Fish Creek Harbor waiting to go for a sail. The whole atmosphere is festive and somewhat intense with 80 artists painting in a small designated area and hundreds of onlookers watching. I love it!

Studio photo

I was straightening up my studio and it occured to me that it might be interesting to see my art space. I usually paint outdoors but I use this space to do my final touches and to keep my stuff organized and displayed. This fall I will have an open studio for anyone who wants to see the paintings in person.

Little red chickencoop

available for sale 8x10 oil on panel $75 unframed $175 framed My painting group and I met way out in the country at the end of a dead-end gravel road. This charming group of buildings and hay field really struck me as "farm scene." I love it when we find a beautiful out of the way place to paint.

Covered bridge road

available for sale 9x12 oil on panel $175 framed $100 unframed - Cedarburg plein air event I needed a break from people and the heat so I drove around and found this nice scene. There was a shade tree in just the right spot so the next morning I got up early and was done by 8:30.

Midday pause at the coffee shop

Fishing reflections

available for sale 9x12 oil on panel $75 unframed $175 framed - Cedarburg Plein air Event This fisherman had a beautiful day out in his boat, unfortunately he never caught a fish the whole time I painted this scene. Near the shore by my feet, fish splashed around in the weeds and startled me every so often.
