Some Cottonwood Trees

Too much stress in the air

so with pencil, paper, and small chair

I sat in front of a tree

for a few hours.

Except for the cows,

these are cottonwood trees.

Fall Art Tour of 2016

Busy year!

As soon as I returned from teaching 

Whiteline Woodblock Printmaking at the Peninsula School of Art,

I began, with my trusty helpers, to render some studio order

in anticipation of those who will visit during this years 

Fall Art Tour.

More photos to come.

For the first year ever,

I will have a few beautiful prints of the 

original, official, full color, 

portrait of the FurryBit Factory!

I am trying to get the ads in order and a few printed up by Friday.

 More sneak peaks coming...

I've got to get back to work here.

CrossRoads Coffeehouse Art Opening

I've got two pieces in this CrossRoads coffeehouse show,

and yes you can get there!

drawings

Two are framed and hanging in the show at CrossRoads Coffeehouse, 

in Cross Plains, Wisconsin through September 10th.

The others are growing in numbers safe in my drawers.

Yes, the road construction has become unbelievable, but it's quite managable.

I'll try to update my Road Construction Survival Map 

so you can get there 

without fear of being headed to Canada, 

scooped up by machines, 

or lost forever in the Caverns of Hwy 23.

The others are beginning to grow in numbers in my drawers.

Drawings for CrossRoads Coffeehouse show

Framed and being delivered to Crossroads Coffeehouse in Cross Plains, Wisconsin for their next art exhibit.
More information coming.

Drawing for Spring Green Holiday Shopping

This was fun to draw... . .  .   .    .      .

It is the full page holiday ad for Arcadia Books, Convivio, Driftless Depot and Spring Green Timber Growers...

all of Spring Green, Wisconsin.

I drew a full page for Convivio last year.

Brian Brock...raised by robots

Brian Brock is a friend of mine....a musician...composer...writer of curious tales...
I love his clean, carbonated mind...
where it goes...and how he sees.
He's a very special favorite of mine.

He sent me his Raised By Robots (work in progress) CD to listen to....
I listen to it often...
when people ask what it's like...
I find myself telling them...that for me.....
it falls somewhere between Peter and the Wolf and Kandinski's paintings.

Brian played today at the General Store...
tomorrow he will play at BobFest.
Brian and Lea, whose artings I also just love...
moved out west...
but, he's here this weekend....and I'll be in the audience again tomorrow.
