Online Show

Hi Everyone, I have a show coming up on June 25 at Blue Heron in Reedsburg. Please stop by if you are in the area. I will be posting the show online as well, to offer you the chance to grab one of my paintings even if you can't be there in person. If you are interested, I will ship these with insurance for the price listed on each piece. Here are the pieces from today, please check back early next week for more.

Thank You, Kyle Martin.

 

8x8" oil on stretched canvas $250.00

 

 

This Piece was painted in late October, the week after we had the Fall Art Tour here on the farm. These sugar maples are on Terrytown road and this was the first painting of a few that I did at that forest. I saved this one for my show at Blue Heron, while the rest went to the small works show at the Art Bar in Milwaukee. This piece has been hanging in my studio since last October, and I framed it with a contemporary gold frame, which sets off the warm colors in the painting.

 

 

The Cat with Yarn 8x16" oil on panel $400

 

 

This is a painting of my cat! I painted this back in January, as a part of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. This painting was supposed to go to a show in Madison, but when I ordered a custom frame for the non standard size, they sent the wrong size. Thankfully, San Diego frame co has great customer service, and the cat will see the light of day now. Better late than never.

 

The Editor 8x6" oil on panel $250

 

 

I was teaching a workshop through Gallery Dillon in Madison a month ago, and was drawn to paint a portrait of this gentleman in a fedora. We were on the banks of the Yahara River on a sunny day, and this was a lot of fun to paint.

 

 

Spring Light 8x6" $250 oil on panel

 

 

There is a shack on the far side of our farm near the west cornfield. In the early spring, it's not so bad to walk out to the shack, and this was painted in early April during the last light of the day. Now that the canary grass and weeds are getting so high, it's nearly impossible to get back there.

 

Maci 10x12" oil on panel $425

 

 

A head study of my favorite ten-year-old-going-on-seventeen, Maci!

 

Cherry Tree and Blue Shed 18x18" oil on canvas $675

 

 

We had an early spring in Wisconsin this year. While I was painting this the birds were singing and there were sweet scents from blossoming cherry trees in the air. Spring is my favorite season, especially these nice sunny days, where there is not a lot of humidity in the air.

 

Forsythia Neighborhood 18x18" oil on canvas $675

 

 

Forsythia and Magnolia bushes are the first signs of color in the spring, and Baraboo is full of both. For a couple of weeks, everything looks surreal. I suppose that's just the beauty of nature.
