Update, January 2012

Thank you for visiting my website.

Winter is piling snow upon the north country.  Life consists of carrying in firewood every morning, filling the woodstove and feeding all the wild critters such as jays, nuthatches, woodpeckers, red fox, chickadees, grosbeaks and an occasional whitetail deer.  The days are now becoming longer.

I’m still teaching oil painting at Confederation College and we’re about to begin a winter setting painting.  New paintings can be viewed by clicking on “Painting-In-Progress”.

Most of the artists in my class have been with me for several years and their results are always interesting and challenging.  I learn as much as they do with each painting.

For the future my paintings will be displayed with Ellen Cashman of Bare Bones Studio--a rustic interior decorating design business in Ely, Minnesota.  I’m looking forward to seeing how her clients like my work.

Seed catalogs are beginning to arrive.  I’m beginning to paint for future shows and I’m thinking about where I might like to travel to paint this coming spring, summer and autumn. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

The need for creative expression has always been on my Life’s Agenda. I always thought the process of putting paint to board is magical and this thought permeates my painting. Imagine being part of a community that began with cave painting and continues today, where the paints and brushes have remained the same over the centuries. It’s such a privilege to see the world through the eyes of an artist.
