"Bub's"

Bub's is a local bar and grill. Great burgers and atmosphere. And for all of you not from Winona I will be amiss if I didn't mention that Bub's is actually pronounced Boobs. There that should make anyone from Winona happy that I pointed that out :)

This is an old advertisement painted along the side of a brick building in downtown Winona. I'd imagine it was slightly more vibrant back in the day. A nice little bit of history though.

I love this old building. It sits a stones throw from the Mississippi river in downtown Winona. It's the old Peerless Chain building. The company is still in Winona, but I'm unsure if they use this building anymore. Great shadows cast from an adjacent building at sunset.

I've been able to carve out more time to paint lately and it's been really rewarding. It's my goal to paint every day for as long as I can. It's something I know has been done so much by folks, but I really see the value in the dedication to painting every day.

This little painting is of a hundred year old brick storefront just down the street from my house. I love the time of day when the sun is low enough to allow other buildings to cast long shadows onto other buildings. It creates excellent little studies to paint.

LaCrosse, Wisconsin

I ventured down and across the river about 30 miles from Winona for this painting. LaCrosse has a great downtown filled with many buildings just waiting to be painted. I can't wait to get my camera back there to scope out some new paintings.
