...a miniature of another of my fishing spots. This one is going to East Ludington Gallery in Escanaba, MI. Last Sunday I had the pleasure of attending the annual bash at The Paint Box Gallery in Ephraim, WI, where a number of my miniatures are offered along with larger paintings. If you haven't visited these exceptional galleries I highly recommend you consider doing so.

Hello! To those, if any, that try to follow my blog, I have been having internet woes. Everything now seems back in working order so I hope to do better about keeping up with new postings.

Recently the Co-op gallery that I'm in at Escanaba MI moved to its new location on Ludington street. It is really nice and I hope those in this area will stop by. There is an additional incentive if you do so on the third Thursday any month. At those events between 4:30 and 6:30 we have a lot going on, including prizes, usually entertainment and best of all, interesting conversation. Many of the ELG artists are there to meet with you.

My 28 painting exhibit in the lobby of the State Administrative Building, Madison, WI, sponsored by theWisconsin Arts Board, ends this Friday so anyone in the area please hurry over to see it.

Thanks!

"Wisconsin Soybean Field -2"

The Paint Box Gallery in Ephraim, WI, in Door County requested "miniature" paintings for the annual May exhibit. I usually don't paint that small but have been doing a few for submission. Here is the first one.

"He's On!"
In Spring a young man's fancy turns to baseball - or fishing. Well I guess it's the same for old men too. I've not been tending to my blog but I have been painting and I guess my thoughts have at least in part been on the upcoming trout season. This painting is the result.

Last week 28 of my watercolor paintings were hung in the lobby of the State Administration Building, 101 E. Wilson St. in Madison Wisconsin, thanks to the Wisconsin Arts Board. A special thanks to Jeri Krohn of that organization for all of her assistance. The Wisconsin Arts Board is a state agency. You can learn more by visiting them on line. The paintings will be on exhibit thru April 30, 2010.

A number of my paintings can also be seen at www.portalwisconsin.org. The site is a project of the Cultural Coalition of Wisconsin, which is made up of seven statewide partners - Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters,Wisconsin Arts Board, Wisconsin Historical Society, Wisconsin Humanities Council, Wisconsin Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Television and University of Wiconsin Extension-Continuing Education.

If you are in the Madison, Wisconsin area please swing by and take a look at the exhibit. Access and parking are quite easy.

"Cana Island Lighthouse"

Our local art organization hangs paintings in city hall seasonally. This is one of mine that will be going in next Monday for the spring season.

It has been quite a busy time. Yesterday I drove to Madison Wisconsin with a load of paintings that will be hung at the Wisconsin Arts Board Admin Building March 8. Last week I was in Escanaba meeting with coop gallery members trying to find a new location. After 29 years our landlord is closing the building we were in. Yikes!
