Beneath a Golden Sky

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

Castle on the Lake

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

I love the renaissance feel of this painting! I think I was channeling the artist William Turner ...at least I hope I was. It's always about the sky and the atmosphere. I hope you enjoy this imaginary scene as much as I do.

Magnificent Seven

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

This painting was inspired by the Waterford, Wisconsin Balloon Festival taking place as I write this. There is something truly majestic about the huge and silent hot air balloons floating above the earth! balloons art

Bather at Sunrise

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16

(click on painting for larger image)

Yes, I'm a romantic at heart. A painting awash in the warm glow of a rising sun with a classic female fiqure in the foreground, is my nostalgic nod to Romanticism.

Church Spires

Original painting - Acrylic on canvas 9x12

This small study was painted directly on the canvas without drawing or underpainting. My goal was to capture the morning light and hazy silhouettes of the buildings in gradations of intensity from the horizon ...in other words, light in the back to dark in the front. $300.00

Tidal Waters

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 24x36

I had intended to paint a loose semi-abstract painting of the landscape with lots of texture and sweeping brushstrokes of bold color. As I refined the sky and clouds the representational painter took charge and gradually a realistic rendering resulted instead. I didn't get where I was headed but I like where I arrived. If I hang it vertically it would still make a pretty good abstract. $2100.00

Sunrise Nicoya Bay, Costa Rica

Original Painting - Acrylic on panel 12x16

This was the view that greeted me each morning on my recent vacation in Costa Rica. That's the car ferry taking vehicles and passengers across the gulf of Nicoya. It is a stunning location and as of yet, not many tourists have discovered it. I think it's the way Hawaii must have been in the early 1900's, dirt roads and all. $800.00

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.

Beachcombers

Original painting - Acrylic on canvas 9x12

Got our first Wisconsin snow today so naturally I thought about warmer destinations. Here's a couple walking the beach at some tropical locale. SOLD

Snow Shadows

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 20x16

A crisp winter morning with the sun just rising over a snow covered park. Available from the artist for $950.00.

Mississippi Dawn

Original Acrylic Painting on panel 18x24

I love the nostalgic feel of this painting. The majestic riverboat in the morning mist was loosely based on the paddlewheeler in the movie musical, Showboat. Makes me want to hum "Old Man River". NFS (artists' collection)

Sunset Sky Painting, "Spires in Silhouette"

Spires in Silhouette

Original Acrylic on Canvas 20x16

I love to contrast buildings against the brilliant colors of the sky at sunset or sunrise. Even man's grandest architectural creations seem paltry when shown against the glories of nature. Available from the artist for $950.

Painting Sunset Reflections

Flood Stage on the River

Original Acrylic on Canvas 16x20

This is the finished painting that was begun as a demonstration for "The Gathering", an artist's group in Burlington, Wisconsin. The submerged tree reminded me of the flooding we experienced on the Fox River two years ago. Available from the artist for $950.
