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".

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.
