I have these two paintings in the show:

Snow Fog


Bradford Beach-Sold

Bradford Beach was painted plein air from the top of the beach house in the very early morning. Snow Fog was inspired by a photograph given to me by my mother.

Stop by for some food, drink and original art!

Schrank Family Farm

Schrank Family Farm

Continuing with the Winter theme, this is the Schrank Family Farm near Big Bend, Wisconsin.
 I painted this vintage scene using a favorite photograph I took while visiting.  That is my 1980 Ford truck and the young man playing in the snow is now in his late 20's at least.  Recently he posted an image on facebook that was a little sad, a bad storm had just torn the top of the silo off, I will include that image as well.  You can make out the American Flag near the top.  It seems to me this painting should end up with the Schrank family.
