"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"

"To the Moon and Back" acrylic on pine 2011

This painting is the first of many, I'm sure, for my little baby's room. The little one is due in a few weeks, so we are starting to decorate the nursery. My wife Lynn loved this quote, so while she was gone I made this little sign to hang above the window in the baby's room. It is done on a 1 by 6 pine plank and is 38" long and TRUE!

"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.
