Beth Road.

Here is a view of an interesting field between Reedsburg and Rock Springs. Virgil Schneider stopped by to chat for awhile while this was being painted. He thinks it would have been a nice day for a motorcycle ride.

View of the Baraboo Bluffs

This is the view from the cemetary on Rock Road. Friday saw temperatures in the mid 80s and I got my first sunburn of the year.

16x20 oil on canvas. $350.

Mud Palette.

This is a piece that was painted with mostly recycled paint. I saved paint that I scraped off my palette from earlier paintings and used it here. This will be entered in the Sauk County Art Associations Encore!! Art show, which is a recycled materials art show. It will be interesting to see what other artists are doing with salvaged materials.

11x14 oil on canvas.

Sunsoaked Main Street.

Spring is here! One morning I woke up, looked outside and saw a kind of light I have not seen since last summer. That evening I set up downtown and quickly caught the effect of the golden light dancing on the storefronts.

11x14 oil on canvas. $220.

Two From Cornfield Road.

Cornfield Road cuts off from Terrytown Road. I ride down it on the way to Rock Springs sometimes.

8x10 oil on canvas. $100.

The day after I painted the 8x10 I had a bit more time and a larger canvas.

12x16 oil on canvas. $240.

Afternoon Trees.

This is another piece painted right after class on Terrytown Road.

8x10 oil on canvas. $80.

Dead Battery.

I was listening to the afternoon jazz program on 89.9 (WORT) a little too loud while painting this. When it cut out, I knew my car battery was dead. I need to get a portable radio. This painting shows the shadows hanging onto the last bit of snow. It wont be long until farmers are out working the fields.

8x10 oil on canvas. $80.

Late Afternoon Shadow.

Sometimes you go past a scene many times before the conditions are just right to paint it. If this was 2 hours earlier, the shadow would have been smaller and I would have just passed right by it. There has been many times that I'll be going to paint something, but it looks different than I remembered it because the light has changed, so I just paint whatever the day decides.

12x12 oil on canvas. $200.

Right After the Snowstorm.

I set up right after the snow stopped. Clouds were flying by and the light was just peeking through from behind the clouds, it was a effect that needed to be painted.

8x10 oil on canvas. $90.

Warm Winter Clouds.

It was so warm that I didn't wear gloves, and the paint flowed on the canvas. It's good remember how paint works in temperatures above freezing!

12x16 oil on canvas. $200.

The Neighbors.

This was painted just after a snowfall looking out of my picture window across the street. I'm glad I painted it when I did, because now the snow looks more like mud.

12x16 oil on canvas. $220. Ready to hang in a gallery frame and FREE shipping.

After School Study #3.

Another study on Terrytown Road. I leave school just as the sun is setting and have lots of good subjects between there and home, sometimes things just work out!

8x10 oil on canvas. Sold.
