Here's my tribute painting to owls for my upcoming show at Elmaro in May. Hope you'll join me. Details below.

Upcoming Eventsl Calendar for April-May-June 2024

 

Oil and Wax Mixing it Up

April and May at River City Gallery

Downtown La Crosse

First Friday's Artwalk 4-7 on Fri., April 5

 As La Crosse Society of Arts and Crafts, feathered artist for April and May. I'll also be bringing a display to show you what cold wax is all about for the evening of the Artwalk.  Adding this medium released me from focusing on the details to seeing the bigger picture. Creating more expressive gestures with unexpected textures.

Enjoy my series of seasonal scenery of one of my favorite places to paint, Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge.

Imagination Vacation

 There's nothing like a Disney experience to bring out your inner child. 

Lots of smiles, screams and sparks flying during a three day adventure to Florida's Disney World. 

Our stay ended with a beautiful performance by Cirque Du Soliel called Drawn to Life. They collaborated with Disney to bring animation to life. It was of course all things Disney with acrobatic choreography.
