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.

Heaven's Window is done from some of my best photos of glorious sunsets.

My show at the red Horse Gallery in Fountain City, WI went very well.  I sold some of my work and had a very good turnout for the opening. I went on vacation for a week ( It WAS wonderful)  We went to the Creation museum and to the Cove, Billy Graham's arena which it turns out is actually a resort. We saw Wayne Barber who did a convention and he is funny and so full of the Holy Spirit. Then we saw the Biltmore mansion and Beade plantation. Threee winerys , HAHA. We really crammed a lot in. Took down the show when I got home. I did a new official miniature, 8 x 10 oil on a museum wrap canvas from pictures of gorgeous sunsets. I just LOVE sunsets . :  )  I have 3 shows lined up for next year so I will keep you posted.

The Iris painting is sold. I am going to make a print of it though.  And I will do another painting of my Iris's. One of my favorite flowers.  I am going to Rushford ,MN this coming Sat. to do caricatures and sell some prints.  RUSH fest is a gathering of people giving glory to the Lord , music, arts and many ways to enjoy life together and spread the LOVE that comes only from Jesus.
The opening for my show at the Red Horse gallery in Fountain City was very nice!  Be sure to check it out throughout August thursday - Saturday noon to 5:30.
I am enjoying the nice cool weather and the RAIN! That is an answer to prayer. Keeping busy too. : )

Well the 12th annual Art Tour is over. I did OK but need to continue to look into making it easier to find my studio.  It IS my 65th birthday but I am 16 at heart : ) . Remember...the 'spirit' NEVER ages : - D

This is one of my favorite portraits and it is only an 8 x 10 that I did a long time ago for my brother on the far right. Oil on canvas

They will be donated to the local History Center.  I cannot post them until after the showing in Feb of 2013.
I set up my art for a local garden tour and sold a couple of my Singer Valley prints. I am VERY happy about that. AND I received the Richeson International landscape show book that Singer Valley is a part of.. I am trying to improve my prescence on the internet by keeping up with various shows and being a part of good art websites. Keeping busy is a GOOD thing, and thanking the Lord for all success ; )
