Dalton the Sleeping Sultan

 

Dalton Down Time 8x10 oil

 

Saturday evening at Old Main, I decided my subject matter to paint would be Dalton the 6 year old Golden Retriever that moved in with me and my sister Mary.

In the Gallery before and during intermission for the Eddie Allen Musical performance I began my efforts and will continue to do some final touch ups today for the event Blue Bridge Brass that starts at 3pm.

 Dalton, Mary and I will be ther a hour hour before on the lawn painting and available during intermission in the gallery.

You may also see Dalton at Elmaro from around 1:30 for the Dog Walk. A guy like Dalton loves to parade around.

Golden Opportunites

 It's Wednesday and on my calendar was meeting up with fellow artists from Drawn Together. Today we met at the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife Refuge on Brice Prairie.

It was just warm enough for me to paint plein air. Thanks to the staff for the warm welcome and beautiful sunshine.

Helping with Memories

 

Momma Bea's Bench

Some commissions just resonate with the feeling of love and loss. I was approached by Karen to paint this bench dedicated to their mother Bea that sits in the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge.

A simple setting with a complex story. Maybe you remember her? She was an active volunteer.

Here's to making memories that last.

Thanks for letting me share this Karen.

A discovery in Fountain City

 Urban Sketchers of Bluff Country met at JP's  Kitchen and Pub on Friday afternoon in Fountain City and enjoyed a delicious homemade lunch and time to sketch.

Afterwards we walked around town and instead of finding the local historical center open we went into the Post Office to discover these wonderful paintings. Read on about the artist

Oh yeah, my sketch of some local folks playing bridge. They were very patient with us staring at them. I hope we didn't disturb their concentration too much.
