Mountain Paintings at Wine Guyz in March


   Deep Snow High Mountains continues to keep me busy as the exhibit travels to another venue.   The Wine Guyz will host the paintings from February 27th through March 25th.
  Please join us for the reception on Wednesday March 8th, from 6-8pm. There will be new paintings to enjoy as well as The Wine Guyz ambiance.
  Now, I have to get back to finishing the rest of the snowy mountains, stormy clouds and glacial rivers waiting on the easel. I hope you can join us at the Wine Guyz.

Thank You Driftless Cafe

'Deep Snow High Mountains' paintings had a great showing at the Driftless Cafe in November and December. There were a number of positive comments about the show and also several sales.
I'd like to give a warm thank you to Luke and Ruthie, who have made a beautiful place to display paintings, and their support and enthusiasm was great.

After a long break from painting, I'm now finishing several more 'mountain' paintings that didn't get finished in time for display this fall and early winter. Once those paintings are finished, ideas for other subject material are ready to be explored, which really means lots of problems to solve and hard work to do. But it is fun, and learning something is one of the best feelings there is. Each painting has a life of its own, and is a unique experience to create. When one is later sold and goes to live on someone's wall, it's an added bonus to share my experience of that mountain place with other people, through the painting.

Snow Hoodoos Painting

Snow Hoodoos  acrylic on panel 16"x20" SOLD

Thank you! to the North Carolina purchasers of Snow Hoodoos. May you enjoy the painting in your home as much as I enjoyed creating it. Snow Hoodoos shares a sparkling clear, cold day after a storm created the lovely 'hoodoos' - snow sculpted by wind into huge mushrooms perched atop rocks and trees. In the hoodoos, light refracts through the curved layers of snow, making translucent bands of blue.

This weekend Snow Hoodoos' new home in North Carolina was covered in 8" of new snow. Somehow that seems fitting to welcome this painting!
