On this site are recent paintings done in oil. I primarily use a palette knife. I love the thick texture and the happy little mistakes that happen along the creative process.

Let's Take A Walk ©

This is a plein air painting I did in Richmond, Illinois.  I pass by this hiking trail every day on the way to work. I love the filtered light that comes through the trees and onto the path. It's so much fun painting outside.....You get to meet a lot of people who stop and watch you paint.

The Cheese Box ©

The Cheese Box has been a part of the resort town, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, for as long as I can remember.  In fact, I used to go there quite often as a child. The cheese curds are the best.  I used a reference photo to create this painting, but I would love to try it plein air this summer....stay tuned.

Boggin'

This is a painting I did for the auction to be held at the Volo Bog Nature Center, Illinois. Every year they have an art show in order to educate the public regarding bogs and their importance in the state of Illinois.
This year, paintings must be delivered no later than June 26th.  The public is invited to view the paintings for one month, June 26 - July 26, and submit bids for the silent auciton.  There is a wonderful reception, open to the public, on Sunday, July 26th.  At that time the winning bids are revealed.

I had a lot of fun painting this small masterpiece. To me it feels very whimsical and carefree which was the mood I wanted to create.
