Bull Rush and Sunfish Passages *SOLD


Bull Rush and Sunfish Passages was a fun brush and palette knife painting. The sky and water are swimming in blues as the bull rush guides your eye upward. I hope you can feel the anticipation of the Canoer - as he looks for the perfect sunfish hole. 

Bull Rush and Sunfish Passages is a 30"x30" acrylic painting on stretched canvas with 1.5" thick stretcher bars and painted edges. It will be available at the new Portage Brewery in Walker, MN as soon as they open - in late April | 763-498-4878 | $1,200.00

Nature's Spark *SOLD


The forest was alive with color and red was at it's core.

RED - Once-n-awhile I have to paint a red painting. This painting has 50+ variations of red in it. A painting with this much red can only hang in certain locations BUT when it finds the right fit - it can light up and finish a room. I photographed Nature's Spark in natural light and tungsten light to show the difference light makes on the feeling of this piece.

Nature's Spark is a 30"x40" acrylic painting on stretched canvas with 1.5" thick stretcher bars and painted edges. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN for $1,200.00 | 218-547-3729

Brighter Days - Bittersweet *SOLD

Bittersweet is perhaps my favorite model. It twists and turns and has elegant spiral leaves. The berries are bold and sweet and any background will compliment the orange, yellow, red shells. 

This little 8"x16" painting on stretched canvas can hang horizontal or vertical. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN for $215.00 | 218-547-3729

Patio Season - Walker Bay *SOLD

The temperatures are warming and restaurants are putting out their umbrellas and outdoor seating. We are all anticipating sitting under those umbrellas with visiting friends. We are dreaming of sandals and skirts and light layers. We imagine warm breezes and the scent of fresh flowers surrounding us. They will all be here soon!

It's been about a year since I painted - Walker Bay City Dock - a brushed ink painting. I decided that piece needed a companion. My first piece was in grey blue tones. I used a similar woodblock style but added more colors for - Patio Season.

Patio Season - Walker Bay is a brushed ink painting on stretched canvas (prepared with a smooth watercolor ground surface) with painted edges. It is 30"x30". Original SOLD |  Prints are also available for $35.00 each. | 218-547-3729
