"Upholstering"

Buy this painting on Ebay
5" x 7"
Oil on panel

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'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.

"Third St."

Oil on hardboard
sold
Winona, MN

A wintery street in downtown Winona.

I truly enjoyed painting this one. I let loose a bit and really applied the paint in a forceful way. It's thick in spots! It has a real painterly feel.

"City Square"

Oil on hardboard

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.

"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.
