Midwest Summer Day

A beautiful summer day is the theme here and wondering what happened to the rest of the farm that once occupied this ground. This scene is depicted a lot in the midwest but the standing buildings are getting harder to find. They finally disintegrate into the prairie so its nice to find one still standing. Especially on a hot summer day worthy of exploring. This art is part of the Farm series featured on my website.

Bighorn Touching The Sky

This painting titled "Bighorn Touching The Sky" shows a fantastic specimen of the brute force of nature. This painting is still being worked on but it is the first Bighorn sheep I have ever painted and I was excited to show it even though it has a way to go before completion.  

Photos were sent to me showing the rock formations and environment that these sheep inhabit by a hunter who is waiting for the first print of this painting. He knows all about the environment where these  magnificent animals can be found and has been a really big help to ensure that my details are accurate.

Prints will be available in the hunting and cabin art category on my website soon. If interested the 36" x 44" original will be available,  just email me: steve@bergerfinearts.com for pricing.

Nye's Closing Art Print

When I heard the news that Nye's will be closing I could not believe that this legendary restaurant was soon to become part of Minneapolis history. This piece I did about Nye's is titled "What Just Happened In There?" and has been a popular piece.  This art has been featured in art shows and books and I think it's popularity is because of the quirky but local atmosphere that permeates Nye's. You know what I mean if you have been that any night after 8:00 PM.

 At any rate this 16"x24"piece is signed and  available and would be a great holiday gift to the restaurant aficionado by clicking on the "Art Prints For Sale" button on the "bergerfinearts.com"home page and scrolling down to the "Legendary Restaurant Series Section".
