Painting close to home
Some days I just want to paint right outside, close to lunch and a bathroom, not losing any travel time…. Here’s a close-up of the texture on this one. Dancing Clouds, 9×12″, oil on linen

Windmill, Minnesota landscape painting
I love the windmills around South Dakota and Minnesota. There’s an area on the Western edge of Minnesota that I drive through on my way to my mom’s house that is pretty glorious. The windmills look like giant flowers all spread around. I’ve got a new page for farm paintings. If you get a chance, …
Cow painting (SOLD). South Dakota landscape paintings.
This is one of the lovely cows that lives to the North of Brookings. She was emerging after a bath in the river, and I really enjoyed the way her reflection mixed with grasses. I’ve got a new page for farm paintings. If you get a chance, check it out and let me know what …

Campanile, Brookings, SDSU. Minnesota and South Dakota landscape paintings.
This is “Campanile on a clear March day” (Can you suggest a better name?). For some reason this painting isn’t photographing well. The trees are very dark and have a lot of red in them, and the snow a cool color. I’ll try again later for a better photo. That person walking looked to me …
