Stonehenge in Spring BEFORE

Stonehenge in Spring AFTER

Last June I was displaying my paintings at an Art Fair in Waupaca, Wisconsin. The painting "Stonehenge in Spring" was facing me all day. I'm alway critical of my own work, but staring at this painting all day was making me sick. So much was missing as far as light, shadow and perspective. A couple of weeks later I took the painting out of the frame and painted over it to include more shadows, light and perspective. Now, I can actually look at it without feeling sick. Comments, anyone?

Paddling Through Doty Park

So I've been experimenting with technique and colors-this is the result. It's from the perspective of paddling a canoe through the little canal in Doty Park in Neenah, WI. I played with the colors in my palette-no big changes, just "different". The trees are kind of mix of impressionist and realistic. It should be dry in time for the Bergstrom-Mahler Art Fair on July 18-two weeks from today!
