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:

www.cedarburgpleinair.com

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. 

Steep Slope (Port Washington)-Sold

Less Populated (Door Co. quick paint)

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.

I have these two paintings in the show:

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.
