My painting "In the Distance" will be up for the members show at the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend.  The show runs from December 6, 2013 to January 5, 2014.  If you have not been there to see the new building and the fine art collection you should put it on your to do list!

Best to cap the Shorewood event with an image from the wrap up party!

A nice 3 day painting event in Shorewood came to a close this Saturday evening.  It was well run and despite a rainy start the painting went smoothly.  It was great to see so many friends out and about in the village and at the social events.  Hope this inaugural event continues next year.

O.K., packed up and ready to roll for the check in tomorrow morning.  The Shorewood Plein Air committee has done so much great work and publicity for this event.  Looking forward to getting started!  Stay tuned for images...

I will be taking part in the Shorewood Plein Air event, September 19-21.  This is the first year for this event and many people are looking forward to participating.

Well Cedarburg has come and gone so quickly.  Overall it was a great time, including fights with paintings and satisfactions as well.  Here are a few images...

Next week I will be taking part in the annual Cedarburg Plein Air painting event.  Please check the website and calendar of events at:

If you are able to make it on Friday, June 21st to the Reception/Awards /Silent auction, it would be great to see you.

Here is a commission project I completed from the studio this winter, "Indiana Round Barn" 18X24.
A friend who enjoys long bicycle rides in the country took this photo on a summer ride and wanted it captured on canvas.  Thank you RSP for the inspiration and opportunity!

Here are two paintings from last year's plein air events.

Blog catch up!

Well it has been over a year since I last posted, but I am back and hope to create a steadier stream of postings to this site. In sort of a catch up theme, I am going to post a mass grouping of paintings just to get them up and visible. The plan is to come back and add some more interesting background information on individual paintings. Now that summer is on the way (not that the weather is suggesting that yet here in Wisconsin) plein air painting events will soon be underway. New posts and paintings from those events will be forthcoming.

 

There are a few paintings yet to be photographed so stop back soon to check them out.
