Kruise Farm.

I'd painted this back in October and figured it deserved a visit in winter. I'm glad they are sanding that road up the hill!

Grede Foundries.

The temperatures were in the single digits when I went painting friday evening. How can such a warm sunset happen on such a cold day?

Wet Snow

This morning I went to the grocery store to buy some mixed nuts as I wanted to set up and paint a still life. It was snowing and I thought I'd better stay indoors after my experience with the drifting snow and wind. On the way home I couldn't help to get the "itch" to paint outdoors, and after finding an overhang that was relatively dry I set up and painted this. So much for good intentions!

Snow Bales

These bales were the last chore my dad finished in his lifetime. It was so cold and windy when I painted this that not only were my brushes buried under drifting snow, but my water bottle completely froze. I'm looking forward to some of those nice calm and sunny winter days!

Last Day of Autumn

I was glad Chris and I made it out one last time before the snowfall. This piece was painted at high noon, I was drawn to the play of light and shadow on the barn roof. After this we grabbed lunch at the Gone Fish Inn in Mt. Vernon. 16x20 oil on canvas.

Bottom of Snake Hill

Looking into Reedsburg, this is a farm with a view.

Roecker's Farm 9/05/08

Looking down from a hayfield, this farm is located behind Land's End in Reedsburg. The far away hills are what drew me to this location and the clouds couldn't have been better.
