WINTER SALE

At Twilight 9 x 12
Each January I clean out the studio and take inventory. It is always refreshing to start the new year with a clean and organized studio, and a list of goals for the new year. As part of my January studio clean-up and to make room for new art I have added a  new and temporary page to my website - WINTER SALE - Currently there are nine images of paintings in the WINTER SALE. This would be a great time to add an original pastel painting of the Wisconsin landscape to the walls of your home or office. To view the other eight images in the WINTER SALE please go to my website.

OCTOBER HILLTOP 15 x 26


Distance views have always attracted my attention. I was particularly attracted by the almost smoky haze on the distant hills and the  soft sunlight on the distant fields.  The fore-ground presented interesting patterns of light and shadow on the foliage and the grasses. This one was especially fun to paint.
