There is a proposed 90 million dollar resort going onto this little Island just 5 miles out from my backyard. The lighthouse has long since disappeared but when I painted this circa 1970 it was uninhabited, visited only by local boats for picnics, etc.
...yet another scan from a book of paintings I did years ago. I think I had a title but must have forgotten to record it.

"Galena"
My home town of Galena, Illinois still fascinates me. This is something I scanned from a book of watercolor paintings I did many years ago. The colors didn't come out quite right but close enough.
I'm an old fart (pardon me, senior citizen) who spends most of the time painting or trout fishing. Trout fishing takes me into some beautiful places, especially here in northeast Wisconsin, and I often think that next time I'll bring my paints and leave the fly rod at home, but then I realize I can paint at home but I can't catch trout there. You can find out more about my painting philosophy, background, etc. @ www.kenmarsden.com.
