Setting up for our Exhibit at M_Cafe

Peter took about 40 of our images to M-Cafe in downtown Milwaukee at 535 E. Wells.
His goal was to hang all of these photos and paintings and work around customers as well as employees.

He met the task head on with ladders, hammer, hooks, a level and a
great sense of balance and humor. He was efficient and said on his
return that the biggest hurdle was his effort to arrange all of the images in a pleasing motif.

I think he did well! What do you think?

Please stop down to see us at M Cafe.
We will be opening on Friday July 25th
with an Artist Reception from 5 - 9PM.
Exhibit will be open to the public until the end of September, 2009.

Milenium Park

The strong symmetry caught my eye
when I was walking through Milenium Park
in Downtown Chicago about 2 years ago.
I took the picture on a cold and quiet
day and did not have a chance
until recently to turn it into a painting.

It is an enjoyable place to be when crowds
abound and also when you have solitude
without the bustle of crowds.

It is a park that seems to change both
with the seasons and the amount of
people exploring it.

It is well worth your time and exploration.

Indian Paintbrush

I find the Indian Paintbrush to
be one of the most vibrant
flowers in the West.

This is a painted version of
the Indian Paintbrush taken
from a photo that our son,
Doug took in Colorado
during one of his many hikes
with his wife, Heidi and
their faithful companion,
Molly.

Home from our show in Oxford

Peter & I had a wonderful show in Oxford, WI this past weekend on July 4th.
We couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise. Warm but with
a cloud cover so it kept sunburns to a minimum and visitors to a max.
Rain finally arrived about 4PM and we hustled to pack all in our SUV.
Nothing damaged.
We want to especially thank our dear friends, Paul & Maris
who helped us set up as I am currently on crutches.
For the take down, we gladly accepted the help of friends Cory & Jason.
Cory was also at the show with her beaded artwork.

More Pictures from the Art Show

This was our booth at the Fair.
We enjoyed ourselves and I think the fairgoers did as well!

Art on the Farm

Peter & I have been working hard all week preparing our images for
the art show in Oxford, WI. We've had a busy week, printing,
tagging, framing and packaging all of our images.
We are leaving tomorrow morning and setting up our tent
and display on the property of Doc & Pam Hines who are
the hosts of this year's show.
W8632 County Road I, Oxford, WI.

This year there will also be a Silent Auction for the benefit of
St. Clare Hospice House Resident Fund.

We trust the weather will be great and the grounds will be filled
with people looking to decorate their homes.

If you are in the vicinity, please stop by. We will be
there on Saturday, July 4th from 10AM to 5PM
