From Round Hill on Rainy Day

This painting, over the course of about four hours took on many variations as the humid air turned to rain the landscape became milky with moisture. After the rain the humidity was washed out of the air and the colors became very saturated and rich. Early autumn of 2009.
~ 16" x 20" framed with one inch white linen liner and large Crema (soft gold) Florentina frame.

Stockholm Village Park
~6 x 13" plus framed with 2" greenish/gold flat frame

This was painted in mid May on the Mississippi River, across from Lake City, MN. I mostly finished it on a Monday, went home but thought that the colors just 'couldn't be right'. So I returned on Thursday and was impressed to see that yes, the colors were accurate. I guess that's spring!

The Low Road
~ 16" x 20"

This painting was done on a warm summer day from a bluff overlooking the lower Thompson Lake area near Durand, WI.
There must have been about 53 colors of green to select from.
The blueish hills in the background are the bluffs on the east side of the Chippewa River.
The size is about 16" x 20"
It is framed with a one inch white linen liner capped by the large Gold Florentina frame.

Silver Birch Park

This was my first attempt at representing water with oil paint. This is a sweet little park near my home on a backwater of the Chippewa River. I spent the whole day painting. I parked my little Pontiac Vibe at the site, lifted the back gate and used the storage area as my painting table. I had my music CDs playing and had one of the best days of the year.

Davis Dock

Nadine Leo and I took her pontoon over to an island off the Minnesota side of the Mississippi River, south of Wabasha.
We were invited to use the old Davis family cabin as a place to set up our canvasses and work. It was fortunate that we had the cabin because a major storm blew in. I had to grab my easel and paints and run into the house to save the painting. I couldn't finish it there so I took it back to my studio. The green shrub in the foreground was problematic but I feel I improved it in the studio when not so tied down to the actual subject. When I chose the site, there was a canoe in the foreground, but just as I began to start painting Sue Davis took the canoe and 'sailed' away, oops!!

Red Petunias
~9" x 12"

I was laying out my paints to start this painting when I realized that I had forgotten my white paint. Being a watercolorist I used some of the techniques that apply there to use here. The leaves of the plant are areas where I removed the paint, which was effective..

Yellow Roses

I painted this at Nadine's studio in Alma, WI from some of Burl's great roses from the garden in the back yard.

I know the subject fairly well which helped.

size is about 11 x 14
