Sunday at Old Main in Galesville

A Day at the Beach 8x10 unframed oil $75

It wasn't exactly at the beach, but a beautiful day at Old Main Cultural Center. My last day to exhibit my paintings and it coincided with the The Ram Rods Car Club Car Show. So why not paint a car. This orange bug ready to take it's riders to surf the waves was the highlight of my painting. I just had to create the beach background.

 Thanks everyone for the kind words and checking out my show on the second floor. Special shout out to Sue Byom for inviting me to display my art and all the volunteers and board members were so welcoming.

 And the winner of "Afternoon at Old Main" was Angela R., she was attending the car show and got to take her painting home right away.

Dexter 8x10 oil

Dexter the Golden Retriever was a labor of love which I'll be giving to his owner. I had the chance to paint in the Gallery of Old Main Cultural Center in Galesville for last Sundays Event.

So far I've done 2 other dogs and the painting Afternoon at Old Main which I'll draw for a winner this Sunday. I decided to document the steps as I painted since I was meeting with a 5th grade Art Club on Monday with Sue Byom. Hope you enjoy my process.

Sundays

 As the weather gets better there's more opportunities to paint outside. Businesses have been busy arranging gatherings, music will begin all over town at local parks and you may start seeing plein air painters working on their skills, looking for the perfect site for the local area Between the Bluffs Plein Air Event in October. 

 Last weekends weather moved me outside to paint at Elmaro Vineyard in Trempealeau. I'm planning on attending their June Sundays Street Market with other artists from the refuge.

From my plein air efforts I experimented and finished these two in the studio.

Beyond the Vineyard 8x10 oil unframed $75
