Watching Ed

This is a new piece titled "Watching Ed" Actually it is a combination of ideas that were rolling around for sometime and I combined them into this single title. What is this piece conveying? I think everyone can agree It's uncanny how mothers are always with you no matter where you are or how hold you are they will always watch over you.  By combining the outdoors, a long road and a daydreaming cloudy summer day I think this piece works on a number of emotional levels and gives meaning to the feeling that moms will always be there, or somewhere keeping an eye on you.

Just a pure fun piece to do. Prints will be available soon in the farm series category.

The Elk Hunter

There is nothing like a fall hunting trip and this painting shows an elk hunter walking back to camp after a successful outing. The sky is ominous snow may be moving in.

This painting still has a way to go but I wanted to show now while it is still being worked on. I am thinking about a new series of art around hunting and all the rituals that go with it. This may be the first of the series so keep posted to see whats next.

If interested in purchasing the original 30"x36" email steve@bergerfinearts.com.

Man In Coffee Shop.

This painting was part dream and part something else. I think the combination of these two images make an interesting and dynamic visual. 

Prints of this will be available soon so watch the "American Section" of my website. www.bergerfinearts.com if interested in purchasing a print.

Ghost On The Prairie

This is newest painting for the "Ghost On The Prairie Series". I am still working on it but it is getting close to being done and I wanted to post it to show that I am still producing new work for this series even though it has been awhile 

This was started by a request for  a 1970  Torino in the style of the series. If you look close you can see the ghost standing to the side of the car. Prints will be available as soon as I finish the work. Watch in the new art section of my web site.

Into The Blue "Revisited"

I had done this painting awhile ago and after looking at it I felt it just needed something else added to it.  Since the school entrance these steps were leading up to is long gone I thought the blue sky would be enough to convey that the place that was there was more of a launching pad of sorts to careers and lives of the thousands of students that walked up these steps.

But something was still missing. The "Aha" moment came and the feather was added. The feather floating about is a direct connection to the movie Forest Gump if you have seen the movie you will understand.  I thought this was exactly the right touch to finish this painting.

For those of you who bought a print without the feather I will send a new one with the feather if you want it at no charge to you. Email me and let me know.

Shore Lunch

A nice day of fishing. Depending on your vantage point nothing beats a fresh fish shore lunch with friends. Invited friends that is. This painting started out with a trout on rocks and just became more interesting as I painted. I will leave it to the viewers  imagination on how the rest of the day pictured here turned out.This acrylic print is signed and ready for your frame and mat. The 16x36" acrylic original is available, email:steve@bergerfinearts.com if you are interested in purchasing.
