Front Window View.

Sunday Jan 4th was the day after the big ice storm. I went outside to start my car, but slipped on ice and thought, "Maybe I better find something to paint inside." This is the view out of the front window at my house.

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!

Brown Cow...

...cheesecake, from the Deli Bean!

Out by the corn field.

I painted the barn while my Dad milked the cows. It rained, it snowed, the sun shined and the wind blew my easle over all while painting this.

Bottom of Snake Hill

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

Morning Effect

I was up early friday morning to capture the early morning light at the view where County S cuts off from 23. Fog and shades of pink are 2 of my favorite things to paint. 12x16 oil on canvas.
