Lone Tree is one that I saw while walking my dog at the farm. It has such a great shape and the sun cast such a nice shadow that I just had to preserve it. It IS dead and will be cut down soon. This drawing imeant to give it LIFE!

The New Old Brewery
this is the second painting I finished recently from photos I took many years ago.  Finally discovered that it is the remains of an old Brewery at Trempeleau, WI.  You can tell I had a great time doing it.

Find the Bird

" Find the Bird "
is the name of this , my newest painting. I took the photo I worked from a long time ago but until now I did NOT see the bird in this .  It really inspired me to do the painting. It IS a view from the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi river just North of where I live.  It will be fun to see how many find it without a hint : )  
We just had the 13th annual Bluff Country Studio art tour the last weekend in April and NOW we have SNOW!! It is NOT inspiring me .  I am leaving my work up in my studio/garage until the end of May when I have to pack for a show at the Paradise Art center in Fairbault ,MN  and I do have shows lined up through the year.  I also went back to doing fine art portraits of people . I received a grant to paint portraits of 5 women from the history of the area and they are a permanent part of the History Center collections.  I started out drawing and painting people and I am glad to pick it up again. I really Am going to attempt to keep UP with my blog on a weekly basis. 

This is one of my newest paintings. An oil on canvas it captures the beautiful color of the Fall of 2012 in the Winona ,MN area. It is available in print as well as the original framed. I  really got some great photos of the Fall here in SouthEast MN this year and I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the new line of paintings.

Well ,  I have not been here in a while. I have been busy with my annual USA Support Our Troops event in the Fall. And I have been creating a line of new paintings based on my photos of the gorgeous Fall colors around here.  Getting ready for the annual Art Walk tomorrow. I am offering 25% off all prints 10$ or more.
Also enjoying the mild weather here.  I will be posting some pictures of my newest work.
