The Pack

 Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

In Wisconsin "The Pack" usually refers to our football team, but this is a more primitive group of team mates. They say today's domestic dogs are descended from wolves, but there is nothing domestic about this she-wolf of the frozen tundra.

Wilderness areas are rapidly disappearing but there are still many areas of untamed beauty for us to enjoy. This northwoods scene shows a bear on a fishing trip. $600.00

Incantations of the Witch

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

The Red Witch is casting a spell under the crescent moon in the shadow of the bare oak trees. The fire has suddenly flared up as she invokes the name of the demon she summons on All Hallows Eve. This painting is SOLD but prints are still available.

Wilderness Skyscrapers

Original Painting 8x10

(Click on Painting to enlarge)

This small study was also used for a class demonstration of tree painting for one of my classes at River Birch Gallery. I like the way they are partially silhouetted by the setting sun. $150.00

Morning Mist - Soo Line 1003

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x12

Autumn mornings in Wisconsin often begin with a damp fog until the sun burns it away. I used the hazy atmosphere to add drama to the appearance of the steam locomotive thundering into sight and belching smoke like a storybook dragon. $800.00

Trail West

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20

The covered wagons climb up the mountain trail and a column of smoke tells them they are not alone in the wilderness. The play of light and shadow is what interested me the most in this painting. I wanted to capture the vastness and beauty of the landscape in the tradition of the Hudson River artists. $950.00

Burnt Reflections

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16

Burnt pine trees are silhouetted and reflected as the sun sets in the Firehole Lake area of Lower Geyser Basin Marsh, Yellowstone National Park. $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.

Thin Ice

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 20x16

This is Wisconsin in November where winter seems to come early and leave late. This painting could be of an early thaw or an early freeze. There is a cold dampness in the misty air that seems to settle in your bones and makes you long for warmth and sunshine, but there's also a quiet and somber beauty. Available from the artist for $950.00

Technicolor Afternoon

Original Painting Acrylic on stretched canvas 20x16

I experimented with Primary Blue in this painting instead of my usual more subdued Ultramarine blue. It's a strong pigment but I think it was perfect for this tranquil nature scene. Available from the artist for $600.00

Cincinnati Skyline

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 16x20

I lived in Cincinnati, Ohio for 4 years from 1984 to 1988. This is a view of Riverfront Stadium and the bridge across the Ohio river to Kentucky. It's a great city and I have many fond memories of our friends that we met while there and the beautiful scenery along the river. Available from the artist for $950.00.

Stone Bridge

Original Painting - Acrylic on stretched canvas 16x20

Available for purchase $950.00

The old stone bridge almost leans against the trees in this autumn landscape. Kinda looks like the bridge Ichabod Crane rode across pursued by the headless horseman, doesn't it?

Chicago Skyline

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 16x20

The man made cliffs of steel against a backdrop of clouds with glittering city lights, is a subject that I always return to. city lights canvas prints

Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas 9x12

I guess this scene expresses my Scottish ancestry. A beautiful castle located in Scotland. NFS

"Fishing the Marsh"

Original Acrylic on Canvas 24x20

This scene reminds me of the marshy areas and Cranberry bogs up in northern Wisconsin. Available from the artist for $1200.00

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.

Winter Scene Painting, "The Skaters"

The Skaters

Original Painting 16x20 - Acrylic on Canvas

I painted this while the snow was falling outside my studio. Another big storm is headed our way tomorrow. The snow can be a real problem, but it sure is beautiful. I hope you enjoy this nostalgic winter scene just two days before Christmas.
