Updating my Collections, featuring my original oil paintings. Here's the second of four. More to
follow in August of La Crosse County and September Far away places. Its amazing to look back and see what I've
done over the past 6 years.
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.
I add to my blog site as I create new
works and then up date collections for easier viewing.
Thanks Colleen Shore cshoreartwork@gmail.com
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 and the hotel
Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge and neighboring areas

About Commissions
Always
a pleasure to capture the memories of peoples pets or places. Commissions
accepted, from customer photos done in my studio.
If you're interested in commissioning an oil painting. Here are the details.
Pricing starts at $50 for a 5x7 (unframed)-small but ok for head shots, $75 for an 8x10 (unframed)- great for a
single figure. $150 for an 11x14 (unframed). For each additional figure in the
portrait add another $50.
Shipping is extra (if needed) and generally
runs, $8-$20 dollars in the U.S. depending on the location. These are
common sizes allowing you to purchase ready made frames. Keep in mind no
glass or matting needed for an oil painting.
Please
allow 4-8 weeks to complete.
The
process includes the time to confer back and forth plus the time to
dry. I work from your photograph, keep in mind photos that show a clear
face and eyes, plus represent the colors. Contact me at
