Snowfall in Cathedral Square - Milwaukee

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 20x16

The Cathedral of Saint John is a Milwaukee landmark and just east of the small city park. In the summer Jazz in the Park is held here and in the winter it's decorated with lights and holiday displays. We like to take a ride downtown to see the lights during the holiday season. Available from the artist for $950.00

Moonscape

Original painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16

This painting almost painted itself. I was in the zone, music playing and my brush just danced across the surface of the canvas until it was finished. I think I heard the frigid winds howling over the snow covered mountain while the baleful moon glowed above. I'm glad this wasn't a Plein Air painting. Available from the artist for $800.00

Dusk

Original painting - Acrylic on canvas 9x12
This small study was painted to capture that fleeting moment just before the sun sinks below the horizon and night begins. I wanted to soften and blur the edges to show that dreamlike stillness before darkness decends. SOLD

Cobblestone Cat

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16

When I tried to take this guy's photo he was not very cooperative. He turned his back on me and stalked away. I followed him snapping pictures as he ignored me and made his escape. I like the composition and the odd shadow on the stone pavers. Available from the artist for $800.00

Milwaukee City Hall

Milwaukee's City Hall is an impressive architectural achievement and it has been recently renovated. This scene reminds me of leaving the Performance Arts Center on a rainy night after enjoying a play. That's me in the white minivan. Gallery wrapped 1.5" canvas, no frame required. Available from the artist for $1200.00.
