Happy New Year-Celebrating Five Years Painting with Oils

Since spring of 2019 I began painting with oils with the goal of working en plein air. Creating these paintings took lots of practice and experimentation in the studio from photos, still lives and sometimes venturing outside. I now have a body of work to display as a collection of my efforts. The journey has led me to painting pets, animals and even a few self portraits, plus nature and local and regional landscapes. I hope you enjoy and I'm always happy to answer any questions about purchases or commissions.

You can reach me at cshoreartwork@gmail.com. Many of these paintings display already have new homes. Please check site blog for Available paintings.

I add to my blog site as I create new works and then up date collections for easier viewing.

Trempealeau to Galesville, WI

I spent many memorable years working out at Perrot State Park. I love the area and continue to be amazed at how special of a place it is in Trempealeau. From the park, to refuge areas and places to rest, like the winery.
