Title or Location: in a not so secret garden
Our daughter Shawn was visiting from Los Angeles which she calls home these days. We have a garden of a sort in our front yard and Shawn was looking over some of the plant life wearing a black broad brimmed hat and a long matching dress. I ran inside our house to grab my old camera and asked her to not move for a few seconds. The dappled light in the front yard completed the composition. There is a small 12x12 that Shawn took back to LA and this 20x20 version. This was featured in the Mn State F

Title or Location: A northern river, water flow and ice
"A Northern river, water flow and ice" (actual size 18x24" oil on panel)I have been fortunate to have a couple of friends who live in the Duluth area. They often walk the area by the Seven Bridges Road and take photos of the streams and river in that area. I saw several of their photos posted and realized the photos tied in strongly with my interest in painting rivers and moving, sometimes turbulent, waters. This one was during the Spring melt a few years back.This painting was shown severa

Title or Location: Home studio
I paint still-lifes in mixed media and many times incorporate a bit of collage, or I cut out objects from another one of my paintings and collage it on another piece I'm working on. I love color and I focus on composition.

Title or Location: English ship Revenge 1577
Revenge was an English galleon, built in 1577 and captured by the Spanish in 1591, sinking soon afterwards. It is considered one of the best galleons of its time, and it was the flag ship of Sir Francis Drake. This model, scale 1/350 , and the display case, were completely built from scratch and it took about 3 months to complete this work. Its all cedar and mahogany, also some other precious woods were used in the intarsia as well.Its a little piece of histoy I get to enjoy every day in my c

Title or Location: Archer Park
This is the piece I created while hosting the most recent McAllen Watercolor Group meetup. It's the local coffee shop that's across the street from Archer Park. Archer Park is a great location because the buildings are all different styles of architecture. It's become on of my favorite places for plein air painting.

Title or Location: GRACE IN MIST
My art journey with Grace has been an incredible experience. She was originally intended to be a quick study of a white horse done in soft pastel. Little did I know, my vision was failing. I had developed cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration which all seriously compromised my vision and my color perception. I found myself struggling with proportions and balance which ultimately caused me to go to the eye doctor. My treatments have been successful and despite the many prior errors I was

Title or Location: The Canyon Dancer
Entirely made from recycled hay baling twine, "The Canyon Dancer" is a free spirit from the canyons of the Midwest. She twirls celebrating the traditions of her ancestors in this flowing organic form. Harding's work rejuvenates tradition basketry with a contemporary take for the modern audience. There are no fixatives to create these forms, only the tension of the twine sewn in concentric circles.
