Rosie ©

I created this small masterpiece from reference photos I took in Ely, Minnesota at the International Wolf Center.  The Center has five wolves living on a site of about one and a half acres.  The Wolf Center has a wonderful building for viewing the beautiful wildlife:  the entire back side is glass.  I enjoyed watching "Rosie" sunbathing and was inspired to record the moment.

Sam is one of the wolves that is residing at the International Wolf Center in Ely ,Minnesota. The wolves live in a fenced-in, wooded area about the size of an acre and a half. The wolf center building has windows from floor to ceiling that run the length of the building for observation and picture taking. Also in the building, there is a museum, gift shop and lecture room. It is a wonderful place to visit!

Impression of Ely ©

A small lake surrounded by pine trees in Ely, Minnesota inspired me to paint this small masterpiece. I have been experimenting with a new technique I learned in a workshop I took at MainStreet Art in Lake Zurich, IL.  I want my paintings to be more impressionistic and I think this technique will help me to reach my goal.  So far, I am pleased with my progress.

Still Waters ©

MainStreet Art Center in Lake Zurich, IL offers a variety of workshops conducted by accomplished artists from all over the USA.  I attended a Dawn Emerson workshop in early November.  One of the exercises Dawn taught included using a single reference photo to create a series of paintings: different sizes and compositions.  This small masterpiece, Still Waters, is first in a series.  I used a reference photo I took in Ely, Minnesota this fall.

Tuesday Morning ©

I did this painting from a photo I took up in Ely, Minnesota.  It's another one of those beautiful lakes they have in Minnesota.  It was early spring and everything was coming back to life after a hard winter!

Sun Bathing ©

I found this wolf "sun bathing" at the International Wolf Center in Ely Minnesota.  He made a magnificent subject.  Naturally I took some reference photos as he only posed for a few minutes.

A lake in Ely, Minnesota inspired this plein air masterpiece painted with my palette knife.  The palette helped me create a lot of texture.
