Summer Haze

Spring Plowing

Hobby Farm

I went camping near Cedarburg this spring and was inspired by the different clouds I saw while driving around each day.

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."

Guardian Angel

12 x 12 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

Sometimes I look at a painting awhile and decide it needs to get another layer glazed over.  

In this case, it toned the color down a notch and added energy.  It also sold at the very next art fair ....

This painting is about having the strength to stand out from the crowd.

Backyard Garden

I started a new painting of my backyard neighbor from 1994. He was a farmer his whole life and when he sold the cows and moved to town, he treated his garden like he was still farming. His wife would bring him lemonade and they would sit under the tree and watch the garden grow. My plan is to take photos as I go to show the process, but sometimes I get caught up and forget to snap a picture until I am finished.

Almost everything 'not green' is done. The rest will be a trick to keep separate...
