The studio has been alive and kicking this fall and winter.
Last weekend the good Doctor Bob brought in his magical cabaret for an evening of dance, music and puppetry.
Other local artists have been dropping by with sketchbooks, paint and ideas, and I've been killing canvases left and right.
I've been working all winter on a series of paintings inspired by an evening around a fire with a few other local artists. The challenge of capturing fire light has been a near obsession for me recently. Trying to express moving light and shadows, not to mention the dramatic illuminations and darkness, has been a fun challenge to present myself. In a similar palette, I've been painting some portraits and scenes from the interior spaces of my pub and studio. It is exciting to dwell on local characters and events as subjects and a reminder of the vibrant, creative micropolis that is Winona, MN.
Cheers!
