Evening at Moon Tunes

Evening at Moon Tunes 8x10 oil $75

 The weather was just right, blues skies, mild temps and me and my easel. Moon Tunes Thursday night featured a band that goes back to a special day for me. My wedding on August 1, 1987 when I married my husband Eric, the band "Blind Baby Olin and the Workbenches" played and we danced and celebrated at the Radisson Hotel ballroom.

Now here tonight a chance to paint while they played. 

After capturing the shapes I did a bit more painting in my studio this morning, adding in the later evening light and creating the figures. Hope you enjoy.

Rollin on the River

 A surprise voyage on the river, provided by my sister Mary, for me and her special guest. We drove down to Riverside Park, Saturday evening in La Crosse to board the La Crosse Queen a replica of paddlewheeler boat.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner, stories and for me personally lots of inspiration for paintings. I completed these two right away and planning on more as I find the time.

I'm still busy finishing up my next show for Elmaro in October.

Big Wheels 8x10 oil SOLD

This paddle wheel boat had a large window in the back to view the action. The setting sun light illuminated the water droplets beautifully and found the wheel shapes abstract qualities interesting.

Up River Ride 8x10 oil unframed $75

Another vantage point was the lock and dam upriver. It's been awhile since I've been on the water and now that I'm painting everything, the ride offered some new views for future artwork.

Thanks, Mary and special thanks to the captain for a smooth ride. More paintings to come.
