For Sale


Click Here To Buy It Now - $250, Acrylic on canvas panel, 8x10 inches

I took the reference photo for this painting years ago at an antique store.  These chairs were sitting just outside the door, I loved the light, shadows and all those spindles.  I could never figure out how to paint the scene until recently and for some unknown reason it just came to me.  Funny how that works, maybe it was just getting over my fears but I'm happy with the results.  I have some other chair photos, maybe time for another series.

At The Fair


Click Here To Buy It Now - $200, Acrylic on linen panel, 8x8 inches

Minnesota has a great state fair in fact they call it the great Minnesota get together and it is.  The fair is huge and attracts tons of people, its a fun place to photo people, umbrellas, animals and all sorts of things plus eat to your hearts desire.  I painted this from a photo of the fair I took last summer taken from a distance away and just happened to see this great row of colorful umbrellas.  Most photos don't turn out to be paint worthy but once in a while you get a good one, this was a good one.

Walk Time


Click Here To Buy It Now - $150, oil on gessobord, 6x6 inches

While out taking some photos I was heading into a parking lot and this little dog on a leash was running at me barking and yapping the whole way.  I though he wanted a piece of my ankle but turns out that's how he greets people.  Little Max greets everyone he sees this way whether he knows you or not.  You could see the love light in his humans eye, he thinks Max is the best and Max seems pretty happy too.
