Christmas on the Farm wedding gift

     Painted to fit a frame!!!!

I found this great antique frame in my closet and since we are having a "Christmas Art Show" and we are suppose to have some Festive Stuff in our show.. i always think of our farm out in the country with the "lights on the trees" that shined brightly from the highway..  This is painted in acrylic.

Jenna's Photo (commission )

I painted this commission over the weekend.. it was so darn cold outside and this is quite tropical feeling.  It is a request from my favorite little second cousin, Jenna, newly married.  I think she took this photo @ her sister's wedding last year and wanted me to paint it.. it was SO fun.  we didn't discuss a price, however.. eek.

Hawley MN paintout

9 of our Hjemkomst Art Group traveled 30 miles east to Hawley and had a paintout in the Blossoms Flower Shop there.  It was fun, lots of Christmasy and Halloweeny decorations around.  Excellent ginger cookies and hot cider to keep us focused. These are my little doo-dads that I painted.

"WE love a parade"

Once again, i am painting folks.. this is from a photo i took years ago @ a small town parade.. The watermelon t-shirt caught my eye at the time. Not sure if the background is too pale but i want the gals to be the focus and the most important.  Their chairs and hats were the best parts. 

I wasn't happy with a square format so I added more to it.. NOT sure if helps.  had fun adding little figures using the U and the W..  only those of us that watched Dave's video last week will understand..  Just another of my weird paintings..  so there!!! then!!!
2017..  did more fixing..   purple background changes things, for sure....

3/25/2019    Finally settled on a red smaller frame for this painting, i had to crop it somewhat..  i did a lot of stewing over this.  SO loved the gals and the memory of the 4th of July parade in a small town. 

Street Bike SOLD

I added a bike to an old street scene painting and framed it really neat ( a free frame, of course). It sold @ Uncorked the first night. I was there and met the gal that bought it and it was exciting.
SOLD

DownTown

Well, i seem to have paintings all over the region (Bismarck, Jamestown, Fargo, Moorhead).. Yesterday, i hung 20 of my favorite works @ The Uncorked on Broadway, in Fargo... they looked OK.. will be dragging my friends and family there for lunch or a glass of wine for the whole month of October. I'm dragging my Book Club there tonight. so it goes!!
