I completed the 16″x16″ acrylic painting that I was working on last week. It has a real glow in person.

Pond Friends
We have had a run of unusually warm weather for Early April. Into the 80’s already?!?!
One benefit to the warmth is watching the critters in my pond really wake up with the warming water temperatures. The pond is home to koi, goldfish, catfish, turtles, frogs, crayfish, trapdoor snails and a lot of insect life. I took this short video to give you a glimpse into the world. Notice a turtle appears center frame!
Early Morning
I am starting work on some new pieces. These are all going to be 16″x16″ acrylic paintings.
Dreamy lake imagery, atmospheric and calm. This is the first one mostly finished but still a work in progress.
The show
Here are a few shots from the show just before the opening! It was a fun time met a lot of great local art patrons!
Betty Feves Memorial Gallery
We spent all day yesterday setting up the show. Lori Sams is the gallery director and she does a great job, brought in a couple of assitants too! The opening is tonight, should be fun.
Pack up the plantation
29 paintings and Lulu
Getting my work together for the next show.
Filling my living room twice!
Water & Light
48″x36″ acrylic painting.
I was working on this while also painting “Sea Change”, which I recently posted. They certainly share some color and lighting approaches. I typically like to work on a few paintings at the same time. The end result being you have three paintings that work well together and it keeps the momentum up. These paintings were so large that two was plenty!
Sea Change
This is another large acrylic painting (48″x36″).
I am working on a number of large paintings currently. This one is basically finished!
More North Woods
Some final photographs from a fun getaway weekend. The weather cooperated and it really felt like spring!
Lake Time
A long weekend at Lake Pend Oreille. Always great to get away and spend time with Mother Nature.
I went on a six mile hike that reminded me of my age and questionable physical condition. I was rewarded with solitude, a sense of accomplishment and wildlife. I saw moose droppings. I flushed three white tail deer. Enjoyed the chattering of squirrels along with the lonely call of a varied thrush.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
