Life is but a Dream ...

"These two canoers were captured in the background of a photograph I took of my children playing on the riverbank.  I was struck by their paddling in unison  .......... gently down the stream."

Creation

This watercolor painting is titled Creation, because this is how I see the place where we each get 'our boat'.

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!

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.

The Meeting

not for sale watercolor 12x18
This painting was inspired by the children's song "Row, row, row your boat". It struck me, we are all rowing our own little boats down the river of life. These two figures have paused for a moment to meet eachother.
