Painting as a Refuge

Been painting 4 - 5 hours a five days a week since before the winter holidays. It's been a wonderful place to escape into - it's been a tough couple of months. Painting been my coping mechanism.

The learning never stops, confidence builds, applying the paint to the canvas becomes a zen-like state.  Once the zen state in achieved, it's simply pure joy.

More and more I'm drawn to paint imagery that's high contrast. I use my own photos for reference but take great liberties with my paintings.  Check out the Art link to see some of my recent paintings.

I'll be showing my paintings at a brand new art show in my new hometown, Beloit, WI. Art in the Castle, Friday, March 27th, 6 - 9 and Saturday, March 28th, 10 - 5.

My paintings will be on display in the Bell Gallery at the Beloit Art Center, throughout the month of June. 

I'm also represented by Woodland Studio's in Stoughton, WI.

Then, it's art show season! I'll let you know what shows and where my paintings and I will be at.

Keep creating!
