St. Paul Art Crawl Fall 2010

I had fun with my first time participating in the St. Paul Art Crawl. I was on the sixth floor of the Rossmor Building. I was pleased with my sales and Robin also sold three of her "penny rug" table runners.

Painting in Paradise

We had fun during the first week of September

in Grand Marais, Minnesota. I participated in the 8th annual plein Air Painting Competition & Exhibition. It looks nice, but it was cold and windy the morning I went out on Artist's Point to paint this "seascape". Chris Faust, a photographer from St. Paul, wandered over to take this panorama view of this beautiful spot. The wind was blowing off of the land from the northwest out onto the lake so there weren't any waves rolling in. The wind did catch my canvas panel and blow it off of my easel into the water. I quickly retrieved it and saved it from being a lost paintwreck at the bottom of east bay.

Duluth, Minnesota

We had fun up along the shores of Lake Superior this weekend. Summer... 75 degrees... a cool breeze off the lake...this makes for a perfect day.

Art Perchance

On Thursday, August 19, from 6:00 - 9:00 pm come to the free event at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts called Art Perchance. The outdoor Target Park will become a midway where participants can, feast and frolic - and vie for a chance to win art that's been donated by artists like me.

Minnesota State Fair

I feel fortunate that my painting titled Lake Superior has been accepted into the 2010 Fine Arts Exhibition at the Minnesota State Fair. The Fair runs from August 26 - September 6.

Brighton Beach

This is a view of Brighton Beach near Duluth, MN.

Trip to South Shore of Lake Superior

We had a great time staying at a friend's cabin along the south shore of Lake Superior on Bark Point near Herbster, WI. This is the view of the lake from the front porch of Stacey and Tim's cabin.

Edina Dunn Bros Art Show

I will be having a show of painting at the Edina Dunn Bros coffee shop during the month of June.

Painting Mentorship

I had fun doing a mentorship with a high school senior student interested in landscape plein air painting. We had great weather and each did a painting of this view of the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis.

Foot in the Door

Robin and I are participating in the Foot in the Door exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Robin's is Collecting Color, old crayons in a linotype drawer. Richard's is a painting called All the Same, but Different.
