Allen Bradley Clock Tower - Milwaukee

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x9

Another Milwaukee landmark, this was listed in Guinness World Records as the world's largest four-faced clock. It's also been called the Polish Moon referring to the historically Polish neighborhood where it is located. I think that the "three moons" make for an interesting contrast between man-made and natural illumination. Available from the artist for $500.00 city scene canvas prints

The Treasury of Petra

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x12

This famous location was featured in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", as a secret temple. That is actually what it was when rediscovered by Swiss explorer Johan Ludwig Burkhardt in 1812. It is located near Jordan and is carved into the sandstone cliffs and is also called the Rose Red City. This is another place on my Bucket List! Available from the artist for $800.00

Snow for Christmas!

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16


I started this painting last night as the snow piled up outside the gallery and finished it this afternoon to the sound of snowblowers. This is a typical winter evening in Wisconsin ...what's all that about global warming? winter scene canvas prints

A Special Gift

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x12

I just realized that with mini lites, LED bulbs, and battery powered flicker lights, this is really a nostalgic painting with an old fashioned screw-in light bulb! Christmas is approaching fast but hopefully there's still time to find that special gift (probably jewelry, right?). Available from the artist for $500.00.

Coastal Waves

Original Painting - Acrylic on stretched canvas 12x16

This painting is based on a fabulous trip to San Diego, California to visit my cousin Jackie Ann and her husband Bill. We traveled north through Los Angeles and then along the coast on highway 101 past Big Sur and all the way to Monterey. We also visited Hearst's Castle in San Simeon and took the tour. I guess all our recent snow and frigid weather has got me thinking nostalgiclly about warmer places. Available from the artist for $800.00

Christmas Morning

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

I wanted to show the dawn of winter morning with the warm yellow sunlight breaking through the snow covered trees and lighting up a secluded forest stream. I titled it "Christmas Morning" because the best gift of all is a new day. Available from the artist for $950.00.

October at Holy Hill

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

Although I painted this last year, somehow I forgot to post it. I have painted this subject many times and I hope to paint it many more. The church looks like a fairy tale castle when seen from a distance against the sky. My Dad and I were on a drive to enjoy the fall colors when I stopped to take a few reference photos of this view. Available from the artist for $950.00, prints also available.
