Milwaukee River Downtown

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 20x24
I grew up in the city of Milwaukee and I love to paint the city at night. This is a view of the Milwaukee River looking north. The revival of the city's downtown Riverwalk has added a vibrant new feel to the area and the Third Ward District pulsates with energy and nightlife. It is also home to the Milwaukee Institute of art and design, bars, outdoor cafes and galleries, including Katie Gingrass Gallery which represents yours truly.

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

Prints of this painting are still available

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!
