City Noir

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 36x24

I love this subject! The garishly lit city towers above the mean and foggy streets as a trench-coated figure is illuminated by the headlights of a dark sedan. A jazz saxophone player can be heard down the alley while a bootlegger makes a delivery. I just know there will be a murder to solve and a double crossing client to find before the night is over. $2100.00

Historic Third Ward 2

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x9

Another smaller study of Milwaukee's historic third ward. I liked the dusky haze softening the furthest building and how the buildings, each unique, all seem to lean on each other. SOLD

Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 16x20

This area just south of downtown Milwaukee is a vibrant area of trendy restaurants, art galleries, lofts and theatres. Of course there is also a farmer's market and plenty of taverns. It's fun to visit and even more fun to paint!

Downtown Lights

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

The glittering lights of the city are a subject I am drawn to time and time again. Although this scene is loosely based on Milwaukee's skyline, it could really be any large city. I intentionally try to portray the frenetic pace of all cities and the energy that surges through them especially at night. Available for $950.

Empire State Building

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16

The Empire State Building is still an awe-inspiring landmark. I wanted to capture the glittering city lights as a backdrop to this amazing building in a loose semi-abstract technique. I think the lighting gives the painting an energy that expresses the pulse of New York City at night. I remember vividly my visit to the top as a teenager and my previous trip to the top of the Sears tower in Chicago ...I think that's when my love of city lights began and my love of painting urban landscapes.
