Collection of Oil Paintings featuring La Crosse Area by CShore as of August 1, 2025

 Updating my Collections, featuring my original oil paintings. Here's the third of four. One more to follow in September of 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

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.
