Cloudscape over Farm

I was filming myself painting for a semester project in history. Too bad the batteries died before I finished! This is just off Terrytown Rd. (I know, what a surprise) and was painted during my free period.

Lehman Sunset

A little golden hour painting. The location is by my freshman year (high school) algebra teachers house. I dropped the class at the time thinking "I'll never need to learn algebra"... well, I'm back in an algebra class now, around 15 years later.

Gibraltar Rock in Lodi, as seen from outside Baraboo.

This is the scene off of Freedom road, this side of Baraboo. I was paining away and a farmer and his grandson drove up on a tractor and told me that I was painting a scene of Gibraltar Rock which is about 40 miles away. I just thought I was painting some cool blue bluffs.

Spring Storm over the valley, off Mile Rd.

This was painted in the wind and rain last Sunday. Mile road is between Reedsburg and Rock Springs.

James' View.

My friend, James Radke, took me out to this field one evening and I painted it the next afternoon. He has the right ideas.

Spring Storm.

I set up in Baraboo, under stormy skies, and got a phone call from Jenny telling me that it was pouring cats and dogs in the Dells. I knew I did not have much time to paint this, but challenged myself to finish it. I could see the line of rain moving towards me, over the fields in the background. I painted the effect and was packed up and on my way home without getting too wet.

Beth Road, one land bridge.

This was a warm morning (above freezing temperatures) when the ice groaned, shook, pinched and howled as it melted and cracked. In this painting you can see ice with snow on it, the frozen water at the surface, and open water. At first I didn't know if I should paint this scene as there was not much color, but it just shows that anything can be a subject if you give it a chance.

Here is the view from the parking lot at UW-Sauk County/Baraboo.

Little Tree, Cornfield Rd.

I like Cornfield Rd., but I'm running out of subjects on it. I suppose once the leaves start growing everything will look brand new and I'll still be out there.

Hwy S, round three.

Here is the classic view off of Hwy. S. The blue paint shows where the last bits of snow were hanging on in the shadows.
