Spring Plowing

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

Going Home

I did this painting as a tribute to my Grandma Marion while she was passing on.  She always seemed like a work horse to me...

My friend Richard LaMartina was a wonderful person and nature photographer.  I am thinking of him on this picture perfect day and thought I would post the painting I did for his fundraiser event in tribute.  RIP.

Beloit paintings

I came across these older paintings while organizing my emails.  Apparently, I didn't have my camera ready and my fellow painting friend did.  I almost forgot about these because they sold right away.

White Wind

I am having fun with scratching back into the paint and glazing over acrylic.  Here is another version of the Pink Sky painting.

A semi abstract farm scene, focusing on color and texture.

Mapledale Trees

2) 16 x 40 Oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This scene is a few miles down the road from where I live and this larger and more colorful painting was inspired by a small watercolor I painted on location there a few years ago.

My sister the banker, has a new office and needed her favorite colors on the walls.

Intertwined

These beautiful fall days got me thinking I would paint a tree portrait, but that felt kinda lonely, so I added another tree. While painting, they intertwined back into one tree. That is how watercolor painting is, you need to be open to what the water wants to do. This painting did end up having a crisp fall feel to it like I had intended.
