Six rainy days, one sunny.

Painting on overcast days is always enjoyable. You are able to open your eyes and observe subtle colors, and their vibrations. When it rains, it is almost a bonus. A prizm effect happens that is of interest to the artist, this however, is only true if you can find a dry area to paint from.

I painted from inside the barn this morning at Denise Radke's farm. The prizm effect was happening as the sheets of moisture flew around the trees.

There was one sunny afternoon this week, and it lead to both of these.

Rain Delay

It has been a wet autumn here. The one sunny morning that we had this week was filled up with schoolwork. I have been painting under the umbrella as much as time allows right now.



This farm is tucked away behind Bender's, on Mile Rd. (I believe.) Cows. Good times.

Here is a Rainy late afternoon. This farm is the first white barn on the left after you pass Keonecke Ford on the way to LaValle.

I was completely rained out and soaking wet (but happy) when painting this one. There came a point when the paint would not stick to the canvas any more.

This weekend is the Sauk County Artist Association Fall Art Tour. I will be participating in the un-officail D-Tour. The D-Tour includes a opening tonight at the Wollen Mill Gallery, and several other events. My role in the D-Tour is to be out painting on Town Hall Rd. on Sunday after 3pm or so. If you'd like, stop out and see me on the D-Tour.

In a new collection

The Sauk Counth Health Care Center is moving very soon, and I am excited to announce that three of my works will be represented in their collection. These paintings have not appeared here, on my blog, before, so it is a good chance to share them with you.
Thanks to Dana and Kay from the Blue Heron for facilitating this sale.

Finally, the best time of year to paint. Cool weather, and an explosion of color. I will be out painting as much as possible during the next month.

Also, some good news, my work has found a home!
The Blue Heron in downtown Reedsburg has several of my works on the walls now, and I am gearing up for a exhibition there mid-November. I will make a post with exact times and dates soon. Salute!
