Family Fun©

Wisconsin is one of my favorite places to visit and get some really nice photos. This is a painting from one of those photographs.  Nancy, who is my friend and one of my biggest collectors, told me that she loved it when my paintings told a story. So that has inspired me......to tell a story with my paintings by adding people or animals. Thank you for viewing my blog.

Let's Go Fishing©

This is a Plein Air painting I did at a local forest preserve.  I especially enjoyed adding the father and son that were fishing that morning.  It reminded me of when my dad would take my sister and I fishing.

I pass Watts Marina on my way to work every day.  I had fun putting people into the painting, along with trying my hand at painting boats. It was a fun and challenging painting experience!

State Line Pastures ©

I competed this quick study primarily using my palette knife.  The horses are grazing on a pasture down the road from our home.  I have been wanting to paint these horses for awhile now.  This little masterpiece is the first in a series of horse paintings I plan to complete in the near future.
