Collection of Oil Paintings featuring Trempealeau, Buffalo and Winona County's by CShoreArtwork as of July 2025

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.

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

Commission Pricing-Pets and More

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. Here are the details.

Commission pricing starts at $50 for a 5x7 (unframed)-small but ok for pet head shots, $75 for an 8x10 (unframed)- great for a single pet. $150 for an 11x14 (unframed). For each additional pet in the portrait add another $25. 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 of fur make for a better portrait. Exotic pets are also welcome. Contact me at cshoreartwork@gmail.com
