ArtPrize 2013: September 18 - October 6

Crystal River Wetlands - 2 in progress

Oil on canvas, 24" x 36"   This is the 2nd oil in a series of oils focusing on the Crystal River in Leelanau County. I have decided to keep this piece as soft as possible and quite understated. It is very close to completion... I have been looking at it for several months now, afraid to carry it too far to the point of being overworked.

Towering Clouds

Oil on canvas, 18" x 24"    There is such wonder in looking over the distant fields and gazing  up at the sky filled with billowing clouds on a late summer afternoon. Just makes you want to dream!  Giclee prints available for purchase.  

Sailboats on Reeds Lake

Oil on canvas, 10" x 10" ea.  - I thought I would post something different than my usual landscapes.... I am fascinated with the sailboats on Reeds Lake.  Just an exploration of color and design in a square format.  

"Close to the Land III" - July 27 - September 16

Now Showing - This show is a continuation of my Retrospective Exhibit.  I have retained a few of the ink drawings and introduced other works from my collection.  Enjoy!~

Chrystal River Wetlands - 3

Oil on canvas, 10" x 10" (2013)  This is the 3rd in a series of oils of a bend in the river that I have found particularly interesting.  Will eventually be developed into a larger work.
