"Up and Away"

5" x 5"
Oil painting on hardboard panel

I really focused on injecting a bit more color into this little painting. I've been painting really shadowy brick buildings lately and they are mostly brown/black with grey skies. This one is more uplifting and cheery. Kinda like the weather outside this week! Come on spring!

"Over the Hill"

7" x 8"
Oil on hardboard
sold
Winona, MN

This is the first in some coming paintings that I tried a new technique. Instead of painting on a white surface I began this painting on a black surface. It was very refreshing! The painting seemed to ascend out of the surface as the painting progressed, as if out of a deep cave. And I was bringing light to the places that needed light and leaving dark what remained. Interesting way to paint.

"Bar at Sunset"

6" x 14 1/4"
Oil on hardboard
sold
Winona, Minnesota

A bar at sunset in downtown Winona. I came across this brilliantly deep yellow bar at the perfect time of sunset when the shadows from across the street were slicing across its length.

I'm not a car guy. Can anyone identify what make and model that car is? I couldn't venture a guess, but it looked nice.

Downtown Winona. A blue vacant building in front of a blue vacant sky. This used to be Ramer's Fish Market. You can still tell where the letter and logo were on the front of the building.

"Bill Angst Auto Service"

5" x 7"
Oil on hardboard

Winona, Minnesota

This little corner auto service in downtown Winona packs in a half dozen cars and trucks on its lot. It seems like it would only fit two comfortably. A nice orange and yelloy truck with the fall foliage in the background. Bluffs.

"Franklin & 3rd"

7" x 8"
Oil on hardboard
sold
Winona, Minnesota

Franklin Ave. & 3rd St. Morning light on a downtown Winona, Minnesota street. This furniture storefront is about 5 blocks from my house. The morning sun hit it just right when Glady(my daughter) and I were on a walk the other day. Glady said, "You want to go on a walkd daddy? You can bring your camera!" I must be a little predictable.
