2009-02-23T20:15:00.016-06:00

Here are some giclee prints I have for sale at Tuvalu's in Verona. I skied there toady on the trail
to take these pic's.

This Guy's in Love With You

2009-02-14T13:41:00.012-06:00

Here is a version of one of my favorite love songs for Valentines Day.
It's not a typical song for Faith No More, notice the mosh pit.
Nobody sings it like Herb Albert.

Finger Pointing

2009-02-05T20:01:00.004-06:00

This sketch is called Finger Pointing. While you're pointing the finger at someone 3 are pointed back at you, so my Mom told me.

The Key to a Heart

2009-02-05T13:07:00.019-06:00

Here's a sketch, that may turn into a painting called The Key to a Heart. It's best to make an effort to understand the object of your affection. If you're lucky they may notice and return the favor.

I am Trying to Break your Heart

2009-02-02T22:44:00.009-06:00

I recently saw this film. It's about the band Wilco and filmed in luminous black and white. If you love the band, you'll like the movie. There's some nice shots of Chicago too.

Can't Tell Me Nothing

2009-02-01T20:11:00.003-06:00

This is too funny, ha.

Early Bird

2009-01-29T12:09:00.009-06:00

Here is one of the paintings I'm working on this month. It's called Early Bird. More will be added soon.

Car Trouble, new website...

2009-01-20T21:24:00.009-06:00

After moving and having car trouble I've finally started painting. Soon I will have a new website, possibly by February?

After the big freeze I went skiing on this perfect winter day and drove by this old church on a hill. The sky and snow were heavenly that day.

Here I am with a dog friend Teddy. I was stranded between Green Bay and Madison with car trouble and super cold temperatures. Luckily I had friends nearby to stay with and their handsome dog.

New move

2009-01-03T17:12:00.007-06:00

Once again I have to move, sigh. Today I started moving some of the heavier things with help from Bryan. Thanks again Bryan! The next few days we'll be moving myself and my roomate. The good news is there will be room for painting and a bike/ski trail is a few yards from our back door. Hopefully it will stop raining and start snowing again.

The Arboretum

2008-12-24T21:21:00.008-06:00

Today it was finally warm enough to go skiing. The snow was a perfect powder. Tomorrow I plan on more skiing, an ideal way to spend part of Christmas.

Milk

2008-12-21T23:01:00.004-06:00

Tonight we ventured out in the freezing cold to see Milk. The super talented, strangely attractive Sean Penn was Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected politician. It was a great film and informative.

The Kautokeino Revolution

2008-11-28T07:55:00.005-06:00

While looking for Mari Boine videos on youtube I found this. I love her haunting voice, and this video, which is not on netflix? It looks awesome, reminds me of Black Robe.

Steep

2008-11-02T09:41:00.005-06:00

This is a very cool film. A great way to escape reality, informative and very well made, great shots of lovely snow, mountains and amazing skiing.

2008-10-16T15:54:00.015-06:00

This month I'm the featured artist for Susan Weed's ezine Wisewoman.

A friend's farm near Wisconsin Dells

2008-10-11T17:05:00.008-06:00

I was at this farm for a few hours on Friday. It was a perfect day.

The old barn looks like a barn I would paint.

This was the horse I rode. Her name is Sarah too.

Amnesty painting

2008-09-21T10:11:00.008-06:00

Yesterday a friend took this picture of me and my painting for Amnesty International. To my right I was being distracted by Ernie, who was getting me to laugh. Soon I'll have to send it to Canada, oh-no. There go my imaginary friends. Getting the check in the mail will help ease my sorrow, ha.

Diversity Cover

2008-08-31T16:17:00.010-06:00

A few days ago this came to me from across the big pond. The book was written in Holland. I like the layout.

West of Madison

2008-08-31T15:46:00.024-06:00

Over the week-end I have been organizing and cleaning... Yesterday I did have a lot of fun. Here are some pic's I took west of Madison.

The beautiful Wisconsin River , near Sauk City. It was a perfect day to be there, heavenly. Too bad we didn't have suits with us.

Blanca, my goofy dog friend. After going to the beach on the river she was given a bath and looked funnier than usual.

We met this guy on a walk. We have seen him before doing handstands at this school. He wanted me to get a picture of him on top of the jungle gym, yikes!

Help I can't get off my bike!

2008-08-28T19:16:00.006-06:00

A few days I bought a new to me bike and I want to ride it all day.
The weather is so nice and there are so many trails to ride.

Today a book came with one of my paintings on the cover. Whenever I get my
camera back from a friend I will post the cover image, maybe tomorrow.

Next time I promise I'll have pictures. Hey women are visual too, ha.

Nancy's Garden

2008-08-20T16:34:00.008-06:00

This is a flower from a friend's garden. Last Saturday I was there taking pictures of her flowers and produce.

2008-08-14T13:59:00.003-06:00

Here is the painting I'm working on for Amnesty International.

This painting is 30x30 inches. It will be done this month. The painting represents Article 6 in the International Declaration of Human Rights. Everyone in the world is equal under the law, in my own words. We know that doesn't always work out, ha.

Cat Sitting

2008-08-14T13:44:00.005-06:00

For the last few weeks I've been cat sitting 2 cats. Here I am with one of the 2 cats. They are very affectionate, they don't yet know I'm the boss, ha. Does anyone know how to train cats, like keeping off the counter in the kitchen??? I'm more of a dog person.

Corn fields

2008-08-04T09:01:00.009-06:00

It's August and there are a lot of beautiful corn fields and corn to eat, yum.

For the next few months I will not have a featured artist on my blog.
Sometime next year I will start featuring artists again.

Stay tuned for new artwork and images from my mini road trips.
