Thanks you Grounded Patio Cafe

Recent Works-is a small collection of paintings that I wanted to frame up and show off. The opportunity presented itself for an opening in August at Grounded Patio, 308 Main Street in downtown La Crosse. Since my paintings are best seen in person, it's a chance to have them viewed. Hope you enjoy.

Between preparing for my exhibits, I often stray to paint some of my favorite subject matter from the past. Alleys and Animals. The La Crosse downtown alleys have always intrigued me. It helps me to work on my architecture and shadows. Just love the age and texture of the patina of the past.

I was painting early one Sunday morning, thanks to Dylan Overhouse for this photo

It's been a goal to do birds and animals. I've had to rely on the generosity of local birders to share some of their photos. Birds always seem to be in motion and are hard to capture by camera. Thanks to Bruce Bartel for using his photo for inspiration to paint eagles.
