Just in Time .....

for the February Cool Blue Show at Art Beat of Hayward.

So I didn't want to do water or snow and racked my brain to figure out what I really want to paint. What else is Blue out there in the landscape?  I decided to pick a good composition and see what happened. Anything can be made blue! So this is what happened. I like it a lot. Thanks Deanna and Catherine for making me stretch a little and come up with something cool and blue.
The reception for the show is Feb 12, from 3 to 6 P.M..  I won't be able to attend since I will be at the State Nordic Ski Meet with the team.The show runs through March 5. Stop by and have a look.

Go Packers!

This winter hasn't been very productive for me! Too many distractions. Skiing and Packer football. Most of my Saturdays have been taken up with skiing so that means painting on Saturday night and last night I just couldn't break away. I usually paint at night while my family watches football or action adventure movies. I really want go downstairs to paint but the Packers are doing so well and have been winning their play off games!

Here is a little painting that I did complete for L.J.'s Birch theme show. It's pretty sweet.
Opening reception for "All Things Birch and Beautiful" is February 22, 2011 at Firefly Trading Co., Cable, WI from 3-5 P.M.
My next project will be posted in a month!  (or less :))

Sold Two Kayaks to the Rice Lake Hospital

I successfully had an online sale through the Portal Wisconsin website last month! So farewell to Two Kayaks!
I hope to post a new painting soon. I need to get downstairs and dig in.
