"We Will Be There" acrylic on canvas 2011
This painting is the first of many to come for my baby who is due next week. I just love this image and it looks great hanging in our Baby's room. Just a perfect image for a baby's room and I hope some day he or she will be able to give it to it's own baby. I just can't wait to meet the little one. This painting is 12" x 36".

"Miller Park" acrylic on clayboard 2011
I painted this as a wedding gift for my good friends who got married at Miller Park recently. They are huge Brewers fans and I knew this gift would be perfect for them. It did however take many, many, many "brush hours" but I am so glad I stuck with it. I love the way it turned out and so did they. It is 16"x20"

"Klopps Kastle" acrylic on handsaw blade 1998
This is a painting I did of the Family Cabin back in 1998. I just came from up there and took a photo of it to put on my site. This saw was used by my Great Uncle Bill, and I didn't want it to rust away in the garage, so I did a tribute to him and the cabin and it stilll hangs there to this day.

"Abstract Triptych" acrylic on canvas 2011
This is a photo of the three painting together as meant to be. A buddy of mine wanted some absract art for his wall above his couch, so i helped him out. It is the first time I ever painted any absract painting...it is a lot harder than one would think. Once I got on a roll it was very enjoyable to paint.
