Beautiful Dreamer


If you have boys in your family you know how the younger ones look up to their big brother. They can't wait to grow up and do all the things a big brother gets to do. This piece is a captured moment of a little brother trying on his brothers letter jacket football helmet and football and "dreaming big".

A really fun painting to do. It is also proof that kids really do grow up too fast.
Prints are available of this acrylic painting. Original size is 18"x 32"

Annies Parlor


Here is another Minneapolis St. Paul landmark that I just finished. I frequented Annies Parlor years ago after many Minnesota football games. It has a nice view of downtown Minneapolis that I included with this view. I had to put cattle into this picture because it needed something and cattle seemed to fit the touch I felt it needed. You the viewer will have to decide if it is early or late in the day.
Original size 19"x26" Acrylic
Print size 9 x 13"

The One and Only Mickey's Diner


Here is a new piece I did of another Minnesota landmark in downtown St. Paul.

Mickey's Diner has been serving hot food for a long time and it's hard to miss it especially at night. I had a little fun with this image and people ask me why the bear? I say to them why not. At any rate here it is and let me know if you are interested in purchasing a print.

Bobby Kennedy may not have been a president but I think we can all agree he was a heckuva speaker. After reading some of his speeches from 1968 I felt he was talking about today. His speeches add more credence to the saying the more things change the more they stay the same. Bobby was a true leader in civil right movements of the day and I believe after spending some time with his politics he would be truly amazed on what is happening in today's political enviroments. This painting is my initial study painting for a color version but I wanted to make it available to anyone interested in making a purchase of the study.
