The color notes are fleeting, but a whole rack of water craft—foreshortened perspective and upside down? Nuts. The painting ended up in the right ball park in terms of the light effect, design, and drawing, but when I saw it the next day in the studio, I noticed that the skew of the red canoe in the lower left was off. Should I have “fixed it”? Maybe, maybe not. If I did, it’s likely that one fix would lead to another. Every fix tends to tighten the form and inevitably mutes the energy of the initial brushwork. Sargent would famously scrape out passages of brushwork and lay on new ones over and over. He wanted to (and did because he was, you know, a master) make every stroke look like it was the first stroke. After long rumination, I decided to leave this one alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586546378640-AWM79CAMIZNEQ91PQYEJ/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Gallery Dreaming of the Boundary Waters, 16 x 12 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586546259381-9SXLSCV721DTFB4MEN74/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Gallery Toy House On the Porch, 10 x 8 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586544521055-76C89KM6U2X8DQQGCXU2/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Gallery Toys Waiting, 18 x 28 oil on canvas I painted a small 8 x 10 of this a few blocks from my house last summer. A few months later, in the studio, I felt like luxuriating again in its squirrelly shapes and glowing plastic, but I challenged myself to do it without using blue paint. Just using viridian green and combos of alizarin crimson and tinted ivory black for the cools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586545930218-WDBCB8OZJ8FT95B0IP2D/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Gallery Alley Motif, 16 x 12 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586544252317-YQDHO5Y5VG4ZIDFLX6F7/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Gallery Minneapolis Stone Arch Bridge, March, 12 x 16 oil on panel This scene attracted my eye because of how bright everything was.

I saw this scene nextdoor and it seemed evocative in some way. Maybe it was the colors, the alignment of things or the different colors of lights on the leaves. I especially liked the warm light from the streetlamp coming in from the left compared to the cooler light from my neighbor’s front door to the right.

A man sat on a small stool and cooked for most of the morning, creating a nice, smoky-blue accent. Set up on the side of the street, I sucked a lot of fossil fuel emissions this session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824896364-FXIWB52MRCUKLTRL9C13/11-033ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Orange and Blue Chairs, 12 x 16 oil on panel I like to ride my bike around the neighborhood, pulling my gear in a little trailer.

(My family will attest that I have strong opinions on the topic of uniforms.) The Florida Gators, Denver Broncos, Minneapolis Washburn High School Millers — hard for me to watch them. Too cartoony I guess. Or maybe it's just the proportion of orange to blue, or the blue being too light. Auburn University's blue is more navy, and the orange is just for trim, so I like it better......see? There i go again. But I sure dig the color combo on this old VW van and its garage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824918444-RUR70J7RTMKD0OAVHMYW/16-061ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Autumn Glow Across the Street, 16 x 20 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824898594-ONDAPP5LA2MEEM38NBPZ/11-045ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery The Neighbor's Addition, 12 x 16 oil on panel Another look in between houses in my neighborhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824898158-SXRSRNCRMH2MC6HQMAL6/11-059ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Arrangement with Leaves, Truck, and Hose, 12 x 16 oil on panel It's amazing how often a Thalo Green hose crawls into a scene to give me a much-needed opposing angle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824890636-RYPCGITOLZ001MNMVRX1/07-001ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery The Neighbor's Driveway, 14 x 22 oil on linen.

A baitshop there has this amazing sculpture of a Walleye jutting out of the building. The fiberglass glows and reflects all sorts of color and light. It's closed now, but I'm sure the town's elders want the new tenant to keep the fish. It's iconic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824895890-XLM3QRGYH0XE4CM8890R/10-070ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Spoon Bridge and Cherry, 8 x 10 oil on panel We Minneapolitans love our Claes Oldenburg fountain at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden at Walker Art Center.

The chromatic red flag on the green would be appreciated by artist Frederic Church from the Hudson River School. He liked to plant tiny, red sarapéd old dudes on a donkeys, or some other hot accent, into his huge paintings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824901370-6D5QT9QV2IQW9UO7SI2M/13-021ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Railyard Perspective, 24 x 18 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824902261-9LILJMH1W9OFDSUQV7HW/14-027ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824903052-O4VNTH1RW7OQL535VXGJ/14-049ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery The Loon Grocery, 21 x 20 oil on panel This junk food and cig shop on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis used to be popular after bar closing. I like the name, though I'm not sure what the jungle motif mural has to do with the Minnesota state bird. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824903000-C5C1HW2X06FBEMDQ06QO/14-050ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Shop on Sheridan, 18 x 24 oil on canvas Sheridan Road runs along Lake Michigan all the way from the city of Chicago to the Wisconsin border. The quaint Rogers Park neighborhood lies at the north end of the city and is home to Loyola University and some great architecture, including a few Frank Lloyd Wright designs. I love this old sign at what is now an antique shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824904212-XFAS7O5GKCQZ6MUNPW86/14-051ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Xerxes Avenue Tableau, 24 x 18 oil on canvas Flatness. Modernists were obsessed with it. The canvas is flat, they’d say, so artists should embrace the 2-D surface and stop trying to perpetuate a lie of 3-dimensionality. This gave us the abstract icons of the 20th century like Picasso, Pollock, and countless others. My take on flatness is to do straight-on views like this. To distill a picture down to the broad, general shapes of things. I’d like to think Mondrian would be pleased with this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824903822-J2BQEQMU6CR26AKI1FQV/14-067ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Five Watt Coffeehouse, 8 x 10 oil on panel A new coffee shop opened near our house.

I try to avoid the ones that are photographed a lot. Here, on 3rd Avenue South, the buildings and cars nicely frame the high-rises in the heart of downtown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824905369-6DO7TCP6RVPRXVQ4JT6Q/14-079ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery Last Light on the Sidewalk, 8 x 10 oil on panel Late in the day the sun moves so quickly, it's fun to try to paint the moment when it’s only hitting the tops of the trees.

That's a viewpoint from a steep angle. Here we see it on the red car as well as the concrete wall and its shadow. Those lines all point to the open garage and all the stuff. When a gallery of mine sold it they said "give us more like this." I thought, "you mean more steep angle paintings? Or more driveway paintings? Or more open garage paintings? They meant more red car paintings.

Painted in mid-morning during the reconstruction of the I-35W bridge over the Mississippi. I loved the air in the shadow under the span and how the watery tire ruts in the hard, dirt road reflect the sky, and the sunlit sign hanging on the cable provides a nice accent. A beautiful arrangement. And I didn't move a thing.

These kids were checking out some toys, probably not made in the U.S. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/5a1c9cf9e4966b1342455c7a/5e90e9d1b2c78a59cdda21c8/1723393935401/ Cities & Towns Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824827299-DBM2WXWIDAB0D2OM1UFB/06-006ss.jpg Cities & Towns Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1643154081259-OTOHWK1PFY5V7OCSE2E1/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Gallery Bde Maka Ska Sunset, 8 x 10 oil on panel This light effect on a frozen lake always inspires.

To get a good view, I usually jump over the fencing, like dozens other folks every nice winter day (not that that makes it okay!!). This time, a Park Policeperson came down and kicked everyone out. I was so in the throes of creative passion I didn’t hear him yelling. Clearly, he didn’t like having to walk the 20 feet over to where I was standing. He wanted to haul my plein air derrière up to his cruiser. Instead, he took down all my info and said next time they’d fine me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1605981532757-I5WRO353KJE0Y2MLTVNM/image-asset.jpeg Snow Gallery Minnehaha Creek in March, 12 x 16, oil on panel The creek runs from Grays Bay out in Minnetonka west of the city east to the famous falls, eventually feeding into the Mississippi.

You think you’re finished working for the day. You’re tired, cold, and ready for a beer. You start packing up, then turn around and see a beautiful sunset, so you just stop thinking and paint. It’s about as close to honest, unfiltered passion as you get in this line of work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1592947946748-IQ3TGIOVLWAHS1T2AAS9/image.jpg Snow Gallery The North Shore of Superior at Caribou River 8 x 10 oil on panel.

When our kids were little, they used to build 3- to 4-foot snow people then set them in the middle of our quiet—but not totally quiet—side street. They’d sit behind the backyard fence and watch as cars came along. Most drivers would ease up, then… Would they slowly smush the little guy? Accelerate to ramming speed and explode it? It was always a pleasant surprise how many people would carefully drive around, presumably with a smile on their faces. Safety advocates might not recommend this pastime (Don’t try this at home, kids!), but it beats YouTube. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586536090071-AGY9BSSCEL58AOIIVTHV/image-asset.jpeg Snow Gallery Bend in Nine Mile Creek, 12 x 16 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1557947933407-ZBG39VIEYCLSDITH003P/19-005ss.jpg Snow Gallery Midtown Greenway, Winter 18 x 24, oil on panel A favorite place in Minneapolis for bikers, walkers, joggers, and doggies out on parade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1560276096794-Q7YTMYYQ0HZCBS9J3WPD/19-006ss-sold.jpg Snow Gallery Winter Oak, Lake Harriet (SOLD) 18 x 24 oil on panel Studio painting from a small 8 x 10 panel created on location. Many impressively large branches cantilever from these old oaks, extending out across the walking path near Lake Harriet’s north beach. I had to sit low, in the snow, in order to see the bandshell in the space between the branch and the lifeguard chair. #koldkeester https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1555776761317-LB22WMLW21PU0DDQVFUL/19-009ss.jpg Snow Gallery Snowy Vista, Loon Lake 12 x 16 oil on panel This is a view of Loon Lake from the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. This light, falling snow shrouded the lake and the distance. The northeastern part of the state offers more elevation changes than the rest of the state. It’s nice to see space even through this thick, misty atmosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1545523161159-I3GSOCNS6LTCGAOCO1R6/18-057ss.jpg Snow Gallery Walking Across the Lake 7 x 11 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586536336867-AABEP4LN74H4VXE797KQ/image-asset.jpeg Snow Gallery Creek Light and Shadows, 12 x 16, oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1525398977239-LBMAVZ93HZK28XPD4JZW/18-019ss.jpg Snow Gallery Sunset Glow, 12 x 16 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1555778632727-SW1PA3E73NSBTIFHU7SM/19-015ss.jpg Snow Gallery Minnehaha Creek Below the Falls 11 x 7 oil on panel The shape of the path, it’s retaining wall, and the creek is a lot of fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1555777794988-AD6R0R7GJ8CKYZQ1G05Y/19-013ss.jpg Snow Gallery Minnehaha Falls 2019 10 x 8 oil on panel I paint the falls most every year. It’s a fun subject to study on sunny or cloudy days. The ice forms differently each winter and always has a peculiar aqua color. I’ve been told that’s from the ice molecules under stress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914646285-22S1WKJW4G5XSL3KIY5T/10-026ss.jpg Snow Gallery Lake of the Isles Tracks, 8 x 10 oil on panel My western painting pals joke about how boring the color is in the midwest.

The sidewalks and driveways had all been shoveled open after a big snowfall. The banks of thrown snow created wild, sculpted shapes and patterns. The variety of lights—from the houses, cars, and streetlamps—cast different kinds of colors: cool white, amber, reddish-pink. Without the context of the surrounding houses, road, etc, this looks a bit abstract, but that’s what I like about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1552329819898-2V2O42OMX5HDBCXBXTS8/19-002ss.jpg Snow Gallery Three Sleds (SOLD) 8 x 10 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1550173139245-Z65PXY30KQCP7BBPW4QU/18-058ssSOLDdot.jpg Snow Gallery Bassett Creek at Wirth Park (SOLD) 12 x 16 oil on panel Painted on location at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis.

Historically, plein air painters called these "pochades" (pron. poe-shods) or "pocket" paintings.

The previous evening we were glued to a book on plein air painting god Isaac Levitan, the Russian landscape painter from the late 1800s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914654068-R1VN8NY8HAMBE9WDPSFF/13-008ss.jpg Snow Gallery Conifers on the Shore, 20 x 12 oil on panel A misty day on Bearskin Lake painted during a Grand Marais Art Colony winter plein air event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914656064-GWH3LRE1WC90C57AS726/13-010ss.jpg Snow Gallery Hibernating Canoes, 12 x 20 oil on panel I lit the wooden canoe at the bottom to contrast with the cool light outside the shed. Gotta love the translucent light coming through that blue tarp. Yet another chapter in my ongoing infatuation with blue and orange. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914655939-ZTBLL4W7Y33H2LWTL22B/14-003cc.jpg Snow Gallery February on Bearskin Lake, 16 x 20 oil on canvasboard I started this as a studio demo during a winter workshop and finished it later when I wasn't droning on and on about who knows what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914657712-RAWTKOCOROZRHEJUPWVO/14-004ss.jpg Snow Gallery Blacky and Friends, 18 x 24 oil on canvas This is a variation of a painting done on location at Camp Menogyn up the Gunflint Trail, Bearskin Lake in northern Minnesota. I enjoyed working with the perspective of the richly-colored shadows on the ground plane. Blacky was circumspect about my motives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1544235332911-K7OJ9Q81Z2QQ38HLENJC/14-065ss.jpg Snow Gallery Fence in the Alley, 16 x 12 oil on panel (SOLD) I like to paint sharply foreshadowed elements. And the subtle differences of white things in sun and shadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914657712-8WJZVQ7PSAL5X97KSMYY/15-001ss.jpg Snow Gallery Ice on Nine Mile Creek, 12 x 16 oil on panel I was drawn to the shape of the thin coating of ice over the moving water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914643097-KAB06Q5YMTAU2NF2UX6G/07-130ss.jpg Snow Gallery Calhoun Boathouse, 12 x 16 oil on panel Another example of the pervasiveness of orange and blue out there. Or am I just looking for it? When you buy a red car, all you see are red cars. When you buy a pair of cool madras plaid polyester slacks from the thrift shop you, well....     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914642337-FOAGEGZ34CJJK13PBKC1/09-019ss.jpg Snow Gallery Snowy Elmo Park Wetland, 12 x 20 oil on panel Here's a nice example of the lovely color available outdoors for a landscape painter. And you can see them so much better if you get out from behind a camera and stare at it for two-and-a-half hours (ok, maybe three-and-a-half). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914643289-BZQB8TOI1BJA6776YA7X/10-008ss.jpg Snow Gallery Dogsled Shed, 8 x 10 oil panel   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914644293-KP94TGZXQXN5JJ5HFR6U/10-010ss.jpg Snow Gallery Cliffs Above Gunflint Lake, 12 x 16 oil on panel One of the things I look for are contrasts in not only the color and shape of things, but their texture too. Here there's a such a tactile difference between the reedy softness of the thicket in the foreground, and the rocky cliffs in the background. It's some of the oldest exposed rock in the hemisphere says some geologist dude up there, but who believes him, he's a scientist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914643979-TW26100OPGB13MCSALU2/10-012ss.jpg Snow Gallery Cold Boat House, 12 x 20 oil on canvas The dark silhouette of the logs poking into the sunny part of the scene caught my eye and then I noticed the steps in the snow (always seductive) and the rack of the paddles and the reflection in the window then we were off to the races. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914645365-ZK8MPEB9AHG8B0Y4RJVG/10-014ss.jpg Snow Gallery Sled Dogs at Menogyn, 16 x 20 oil on canvasboard I could've painted these dogs all week. I love the light in this scene, the shadows raking across the yard. And each dog and its tiny house had it's own character. They kept barking at me as if I had some food. Maybe they thought I was the food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914658708-1IGPSRGPS5LI3P1E7XD9/15-009ss.jpg Snow Gallery Face Off, 12 x 16 oil on panel The grills, bumpers and headlights of vehicles can be really expressive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914660105-WL2ZS0VM1MUC9YYJLTUU/15-011ss.jpg Snow Gallery Joe Cool, 16 x 12 oil on panel I caught this handsome character before he melted. I couldn’t decide if his blank face and mod shades reminded me more of Snoopy or the Invisible Man. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914659724-XB1H1P5DSWI21JLIKSL3/15-012ss.jpg Snow Gallery Winter Late Afternoon, 8 x 10 oil on panel On a frozen lake, late afternoon is an absolutely gorgeous time to paint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914661347-GLDFC039EBK7VTMRB5F1/15-014ss.jpg Snow Gallery Snowy Spruce Boughs, 18 x 24 oil on canvas The dollops of snow on the boughs of this spruce made for some interesting shapes and patterns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914661225-20BJ7F79YJUGYB52TRQN/15-017ss.jpg Snow Gallery Sunny Winter Wetland, 16 x 12 oil on panel More winter fun with color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1515777139520-URQ51CVU8L2961K6YWXB/12-065ss.jpg Snow Gallery Snowperson 7, 5 x 7 oil on panel Gleefully cool in the shadows.

Will Steger, the renowned polar explorer and climate change activist, hosts this event on his property every year. The ice is cut using chainsaws, long old-time handsaws, and lots of people power. Draft horses then make several trips up the bank, hauling the harvest to Steger’s hillside cave-fridge, where the blocks are tucked tightly away to keep perishable foods fresh throughout the year. It’s a real deal, pioneer-style, natural refrigerator that keeps it’s chill well into the following autumn. They’re doing a lot of cool work up there.

Not religion per sé, but the flat-on view of the vertical bell tower, the conifers, and the shape of the roof and sky. SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914665822-3MGTXVQ2OFTCGQ4SLH76/17-031ss.jpg Snow Gallery Ski Path, Lake Harriet, 12 x 16 oil on panel I had the privilege of painting with Stapleton Kearns a few years ago and I think his handling of tree branches blending into the sky rubbed off on me here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1515084409166-3OAIJY9MBKK7K6WLTOC2/11-079ss.jpg Snow Gallery Open Water on the Namekagon, 12 x 20 oil on panel Patches of open water on the ice often creates interesting elliptical shapes.

Because waking up, getting fed and coffeed up, hiking out there, and setting up in near dark to await the first breath of light is hard. That's why people (try to) paint from photographs. SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511917039085-4N8UPVFF2X8IPVRWR5YG/09-015ss.jpg Snow Gallery Steps Along the Lake Superior Shore (sold), 12 x 16 oil on panel My daughter and I visited friends on the Superior North Shore after the holidays. I set up in front of this beautiful view, then the kids came stomping along and tracked right through the foreground...and made the picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511917056281-M5JTB5MVMKMD428QX6N2/09-095ss.jpg Snow Gallery Early Light, Webb Lake, 6 x 8 oil on panel [09-095] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511917072715-JD8K4RHKEVQW0WWZHAC4/10-002ss.jpg Snow Gallery Frozen Floating Dock (sold), 8 x 10 oil on panel Late each fall, city park workers free these fishing piers to float so their pilings don't get crushed by the shifting ice. After finding a spot to get comfortable for the winter, they sit out there teasing the summer anglers.

The ripples across the rocks express all sorts of things—sky, reflections of the trees, and the underwater rocks and sand.

This area was burned out by a big fire a few years ago. I was prepared to be bummed about painting there, but found it beautiful and compelling instead. The lack of tree cover lets you see the sensuality of the terrain, and allows bright sunlight to reach the ground, reflecting off the show and “opening up” the shadows. This seemingly gray landscape is rich with chroma: violety-blue shadows, pinkish leafless branches, warm olive-green confers, and rusty grasses.

I sat on the snow to get a vantage point where the snowshoes intersect the horizon. As the sun crept lower and lower, we patiently waited for the moment when the colors on the snow shift into gorgeous violets, blues, pinks, and oranges––then slapped on paint with a frenzy that made the wolves howl!

This big, island-studded lake straddles the Boundary Waters Canoe and Wilderness Area. The canoe is a replica of the workhorse of the beaver trade. It fit 10-or-so paddlers and as many 90 lb. pelt bundles as possible. Wikipedia informed me it’s also called a rabaska or Maître canoe. The former is a Canadianism of a word from the Cree or Algonquin inventors of the bark vessel. The latter is some french dude from Montreal who was good at making them. The painting won a “Best of the Gunflint Trail” award at the 2019 Grand Marais Plein Air event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1576523559014-WD4AI7XKF5D91D1SXYCK/17-049fSOLD.jpg Water Paintings Gallery Early Evening from Lafayette Point, 12 x 16 oil on panel Painted on the shore of Lake Superior, July, 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1576010719183-K08F3DR3RV4PQLKXX6TM/19-027ssSOLD.jpg Water Paintings Gallery Misty Pond, 11 x 7, oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1570740099058-LJABKJLC39EC4VQDMH8E/19-058ss.jpg Water Paintings Gallery Quetico Tableau 12 x 26 oil on panel This park is just across the border. Canada’s Boundary Waters canoe and wilderness area per sé. The character of the rock always amazes. I was told by a geology guy that the exposed rock in this general area is some the oldest in the hemisphere. I told my fellow canoe tripper this, who lives in the very rocky Connecticut. He replied that’s what a geology guy told him about his rock. I guess your rock isn’t cool unless it’s the oldest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1568910494008-OTI9LAO5K9P47R2IRDVB/19-052ss.jpg Water Paintings Gallery 4th of July 16 x 12 oil on panel Painted on location in the Danbury area in Wisconsin.

That's east of the immense city of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province. And that's just west of Hong Kong. The lovely orange tone in the atmosphere may be hazy and romantic, but it's smog. Funny, the same thing is going on in Monet's famous impressionistic painting, "Impression, Sunrise." The location is the port of Le Havre, his hometown. Monet was celebrating all the commerce and industry going on there. He was proud of the smog.

After a morning of painting nearby in the old mining town of Jerome, Arizona, I looked forward to the afternoon, when the mountain would cast its shadow across the valley and the colors of the landscape would get richer and deeper. In order to paint the viewpoint I wanted, where the tower would intersect the horizon, I needed to stand on a slope of loose, broken rock. By the time I finished, it was dark and freezing. I accidentally kicked over my open knapsack, sending it tumbling down the slope, scattering stuff everywhere. Brushes, paint tubes, cell phone, keys. I spent the next half hour crawling up and down the rubble, praying the rental car keys would find my hands. They did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511979413906-4CC5VGKV7X9AUEIHYCMK/10-066ss.jpg Open Spaces Gallery Tipi at Cottonwood, 8 x 10 oil on panel I love when the sun comes out late on a rainy day and deep blue clouds hang on to the horizon.

This tree is fairly recent growth, but 146 years ago, on a hot July afternoon, this stone wall is about as far as old Bobby Lee's boys got. The Confederates crossed this mile-long field from the tree line on Seminary Ridge. As I looked across, I tried to imagine what was in their minds as they stepped into the open, knowing it was unlikely they would survive the hour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511993050003-YZB3VOGYVK9XO6SI8KLK/09-028ss.jpg Open Spaces Gallery New Market Haybales, 12 x 16 oil on panel SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511993033565-356TKXQ4EDS0AVNR7E69/09-001ss.jpg Open Spaces Gallery White Barn, 16 x 20” oil on panel Painted in Burnett County, Wisconsin just after the holidays.

It was always a pleasant surprise how many people would carefully drive around, presumably with a smile on their faces.

He had watched me paint the day before, lamenting that he had always wanted to be an art major (not that the religiously modern University painting faculty would ever consider teaching him anything remotely like my representational art). This angle showed the tilt of the bridge’s roadbed because of it’s curve heading across the river. Mostly, I was interested in the differing nature of the dirt piles vs. the primary-colored cranes.

The crew had a bit of a ceremony and it was all very moving. From the clearing of the wreckage after the collapse, to this, the whole project was done in about a year. Amazing what can be done if everyone works together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536336648165-OI3XO4KSZIC4C9HJSCKZ/08_030ss.jpg Bridge Gallery Security, 12 x 16 oil on panel This was one of the security gates around the perimeter of the construction site. The attendant wouldn’t let me on the grounds to paint, which was his job, but his real task was to keep the hastily built wooden “Keep Out” sign standing in the wind. A fruitless task. After while, he just let it stay down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337474966-4A6YTS4T8V307433TJGQ/08_032ss.jpg Bridge Gallery Casting a Segment 18 x 24 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337504000-5HEGJ8UBN9IU6U4BR3UH/08_036ss.jpg Bridge Gallery Sunrise on the Bridge’s East Side (unfinished) 18 x 36 oil on canvas.

It was mounted on a barge that had two tugboats on the downstream side running 24/7 for the entirety of the project. Like defensive linemen in football, their job was to not move, or, to keep the barge in place against the powerful current. Out of view are two huge chains attached to the front two corners of the barge that spooled to tighten or loosen depending on which way they needed the barge to move. With links the size of my forearm, the sound of them winding up was like fingernails on a blackboard times a tillion.

As the span got longer, the weight of the thing defied gravity. If not for the frequency of retired engineers living in the nearby condos lecturing me on “post tension concrete” I would never have understood. Not that I really do now. But Google it, maybe you’ll get it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337781501-PO8I48XG4TFIZER5E4X6/08_043ss.jpg Bridge Gallery Laying Pavement at the On-Ramp 12 x 20 oil on panel, in private collection I spent most of a night painting this. As the machines crept along, I moved my easel backwards foot by foot until they joined University Avenue early in the morning. Parts of the crew enjoyed watching the progress of my work as they paused for a few minutes before their part of the job was needed. One of the guys in the florescent vests standing in the deep shadow was enjoying his first day back on the job. He was one of the road crew atop the bridge doing resurfacing work when it collapsed, breaking his back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536336656537-BTOIY7TQ0IINCIL0F08A/08_044ss.jpg Bridge Gallery Details 36 x 18 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337727105-G9WNHXZUQ70AL6SYGQ9R/08_047ss.jpg Bridge Gallery Morning Mist on the River 18 x 36 oil on canvas, in private collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536336660669-V2W4KJUEKF6NER6Q361V/08-046ss.jpg Bridge Gallery Cones 10 x 8 oil on panel No highway or major road construction would be complete without these babies. https://www.scottlloydanderson.com/snowfolk daily 0.75 2025-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1738603453367-1B0RRDLSE7KXYUXVBRI2/image-asset.jpeg Snowfolk Snowfolk 42, One Eye, 24 × 18” oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1738603453367-1B0RRDLSE7KXYUXVBRI2/image-asset.jpeg Snowfolk Snowfolk 42, One Eye, 24 × 18” oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737492302244-QVYU34V7ZEYPQH091D27/19-001ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 40 (Melting Out in Center Field), 24 × 36” oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737492843232-3S0H2JG9NR9AJ2GBOKND/19-033ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 34 (Night at the Intersection); 36 x 48 oil on canvas Winner of a 2nd Place ribbon for painting in the 2019 Minnesota State Fair Juried Fine Art Exhibition. When the kids were little, they used to build 3- to 4-foot snow people then set them in the middle of our quiet—but not totally quiet—side street. They’d sit behind the backyard fence and watch as cars came along. Most drivers would ease up, then… Would they slowly smush the little guy? Accelerate to ramming speed and explode it? It was always a pleasant surprise how many people would carefully drive around, presumably with a smile on their faces.

After a morning of painting nearby in the old mining town of Jerome, Arizona, I looked forward to the afternoon, when the mountain would cast its shadow across the valley and the colors of the landscape would get richer and deeper. In order to paint the viewpoint I wanted, where the tower would intersect the horizon, I needed to stand on a slope of loose, broken rock. By the time I finished, it was dark and freezing. I accidentally kicked over my open knapsack, sending it tumbling down the slope, scattering stuff everywhere. Brushes, paint tubes, cell phone, keys. I spent the next half hour crawling up and down the rubble, praying the rental car keys would find my hands.

This tree is fairly recent growth, but 146 years ago, on a hot July afternoon, this stone wall is about as far as old Bobby Lee's boys got. The Confederates crossed this mile-long field from the tree line on Seminary Ridge. As I looked across, I tried to imagine what was in their minds as they stepped into the open, knowing it was unlikely they would survive the hour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511993050003-YZB3VOGYVK9XO6SI8KLK/09-028ss.jpg Open Spaces New Market Haybales, 12 x 16 oil on panel SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511993033565-356TKXQ4EDS0AVNR7E69/09-001ss.jpg Open Spaces White Barn, 16 x 20” oil on panel Painted in Burnett County, Wisconsin just after the holidays.

To get a good view, I usually jump over the fencing, like dozens other folks every nice winter day (not that that makes it okay!!). This time, a Park Policeperson came down and kicked everyone out. I was so in the throes of creative passion I didn’t hear him yelling. Clearly, he didn’t like having to walk the 20 feet over to where I was standing. He wanted to haul my plein air derrière up to his cruiser. Instead, he took down all my info and said next time they’d fine me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1605981532757-I5WRO353KJE0Y2MLTVNM/image-asset.jpeg Snow Minnehaha Creek in March, 12 x 16, oil on panel The creek runs from Grays Bay out in Minnetonka west of the city east to the famous falls, eventually feeding into the Mississippi.

You think you’re finished working for the day. You’re tired, cold, and ready for a beer. You start packing up, then turn around and see a beautiful sunset, so you just stop thinking and paint. It’s about as close to honest, unfiltered passion as you get in this line of work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1592947946748-IQ3TGIOVLWAHS1T2AAS9/image.jpg Snow The North Shore of Superior at Caribou River 8 x 10 oil on panel.

Many impressively large branches cantilever from these old oaks, extending out across the walking path near Lake Harriet’s north beach. I had to sit low, in the snow, in order to see the bandshell in the space between the branch and the lifeguard chair. #koldkeester https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1555776761317-LB22WMLW21PU0DDQVFUL/19-009ss.jpg Snow Snowy Vista, Loon Lake 12 x 16 oil on panel This is a view of Loon Lake from the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. This light, falling snow shrouded the lake and the distance. The northeastern part of the state offers more elevation changes than the rest of the state. It’s nice to see space even through this thick, misty atmosphere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1545523161159-I3GSOCNS6LTCGAOCO1R6/18-057ss.jpg Snow Walking Across the Lake 7 x 11 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586536336867-AABEP4LN74H4VXE797KQ/image-asset.jpeg Snow Creek Light and Shadows, 12 x 16, oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1525398977239-LBMAVZ93HZK28XPD4JZW/18-019ss.jpg Snow Sunset Glow, 12 x 16 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1555778632727-SW1PA3E73NSBTIFHU7SM/19-015ss.jpg Snow Minnehaha Creek Below the Falls 11 x 7 oil on panel The shape of the path, it’s retaining wall, and the creek is a lot of fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1555777794988-AD6R0R7GJ8CKYZQ1G05Y/19-013ss.jpg Snow Minnehaha Falls 2019 10 x 8 oil on panel I paint the falls most every year. It’s a fun subject to study on sunny or cloudy days. The ice forms differently each winter and always has a peculiar aqua color. I’ve been told that’s from the ice molecules under stress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914646285-22S1WKJW4G5XSL3KIY5T/10-026ss.jpg Snow Lake of the Isles Tracks, 8 x 10 oil on panel My western painting pals joke about how boring the color is in the midwest.

The sidewalks and driveways had all been shoveled open after a big snowfall. The banks of thrown snow created wild, sculpted shapes and patterns. The variety of lights—from the houses, cars, and streetlamps—cast different kinds of colors: cool white, amber, reddish-pink. Without the context of the surrounding houses, road, etc, this looks a bit abstract, but that’s what I like about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1552329819898-2V2O42OMX5HDBCXBXTS8/19-002ss.jpg Snow Three Sleds (SOLD) 8 x 10 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1550173139245-Z65PXY30KQCP7BBPW4QU/18-058ssSOLDdot.jpg Snow Bassett Creek at Wirth Park (SOLD) 12 x 16 oil on panel Painted on location at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis.

Historically, plein air painters called these "pochades" (pron. poe-shods) or "pocket" paintings. They're notes–a shorthand of loaded brushstrokes to describe fleeting of light effects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914647253-B0HOIP76YKGCF3CBYFNS/11-005ss.jpg Snow Dock Up the Slope, 18 x 24 oil on canvas My father-in-law uses a winch to haul his dock up onto the hill every autumn — an annual cabin ritual.

Gotta love the translucent light coming through that blue tarp. Yet another chapter in my ongoing infatuation with blue and orange. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914655939-ZTBLL4W7Y33H2LWTL22B/14-003cc.jpg Snow February on Bearskin Lake, 16 x 20 oil on canvasboard I started this as a studio demo during a winter workshop and finished it later when I wasn't droning on and on about who knows what. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914657712-RAWTKOCOROZRHEJUPWVO/14-004ss.jpg Snow Blacky and Friends, 18 x 24 oil on canvas This is a variation of a painting done on location at Camp Menogyn up the Gunflint Trail, Bearskin Lake in northern Minnesota. I enjoyed working with the perspective of the richly-colored shadows on the ground plane. Blacky was circumspect about my motives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1544235332911-K7OJ9Q81Z2QQ38HLENJC/14-065ss.jpg Snow Fence in the Alley, 16 x 12 oil on panel (SOLD) I like to paint sharply foreshadowed elements. And the subtle differences of white things in sun and shadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914657712-8WJZVQ7PSAL5X97KSMYY/15-001ss.jpg Snow Ice on Nine Mile Creek, 12 x 16 oil on panel I was drawn to the shape of the thin coating of ice over the moving water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914643097-KAB06Q5YMTAU2NF2UX6G/07-130ss.jpg Snow Calhoun Boathouse, 12 x 16 oil on panel Another example of the pervasiveness of orange and blue out there. Or am I just looking for it? When you buy a red car, all you see are red cars. When you buy a pair of cool madras plaid polyester slacks from the thrift shop you, well....     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914642337-FOAGEGZ34CJJK13PBKC1/09-019ss.jpg Snow Snowy Elmo Park Wetland, 12 x 20 oil on panel Here's a nice example of the lovely color available outdoors for a landscape painter.

Here there's a such a tactile difference between the reedy softness of the thicket in the foreground, and the rocky cliffs in the background. It's some of the oldest exposed rock in the hemisphere says some geologist dude up there, but who believes him, he's a scientist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914643979-TW26100OPGB13MCSALU2/10-012ss.jpg Snow Cold Boat House, 12 x 20 oil on canvas The dark silhouette of the logs poking into the sunny part of the scene caught my eye and then I noticed the steps in the snow (always seductive) and the rack of the paddles and the reflection in the window then we were off to the races. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914645365-ZK8MPEB9AHG8B0Y4RJVG/10-014ss.jpg Snow Sled Dogs at Menogyn, 16 x 20 oil on canvasboard I could've painted these dogs all week. I love the light in this scene, the shadows raking across the yard. And each dog and its tiny house had it's own character. They kept barking at me as if I had some food. Maybe they thought I was the food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914658708-1IGPSRGPS5LI3P1E7XD9/15-009ss.jpg Snow Face Off, 12 x 16 oil on panel The grills, bumpers and headlights of vehicles can be really expressive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914660105-WL2ZS0VM1MUC9YYJLTUU/15-011ss.jpg Snow Joe Cool, 16 x 12 oil on panel I caught this handsome character before he melted. I couldn’t decide if his blank face and mod shades reminded me more of Snoopy or the Invisible Man. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914659724-XB1H1P5DSWI21JLIKSL3/15-012ss.jpg Snow Winter Late Afternoon, 8 x 10 oil on panel On a frozen lake, late afternoon is an absolutely gorgeous time to paint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914661347-GLDFC039EBK7VTMRB5F1/15-014ss.jpg Snow Snowy Spruce Boughs, 18 x 24 oil on canvas The dollops of snow on the boughs of this spruce made for some interesting shapes and patterns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511914661225-20BJ7F79YJUGYB52TRQN/15-017ss.jpg Snow Sunny Winter Wetland, 16 x 12 oil on panel More winter fun with color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1515777139520-URQ51CVU8L2961K6YWXB/12-065ss.jpg Snow Snowperson 7, 5 x 7 oil on panel Gleefully cool in the shadows.

Will Steger, the renowned polar explorer and climate change activist, hosts this event on his property every year. The ice is cut using chainsaws, long old-time handsaws, and lots of people power. Draft horses then make several trips up the bank, hauling the harvest to Steger’s hillside cave-fridge, where the blocks are tucked tightly away to keep perishable foods fresh throughout the year. It’s a real deal, pioneer-style, natural refrigerator that keeps it’s chill well into the following autumn. They’re doing a lot of cool work up there.

Not religion per sé, but the flat-on view of the vertical bell tower, the conifers, and the shape of the roof and sky.

Because waking up, getting fed and coffeed up, hiking out there, and setting up in near dark to await the first breath of light is hard. That's why people (try to) paint from photographs.

This area was burned out by a big fire a few years ago. I was prepared to be bummed about painting there, but found it beautiful and compelling instead. The lack of tree cover lets you see the sensuality of the terrain, and allows bright sunlight to reach the ground, reflecting off the show and “opening up” the shadows. This seemingly gray landscape is rich with chroma: violety-blue shadows, pinkish leafless branches, warm olive-green confers, and rusty grasses.

I sat on the snow to get a vantage point where the snowshoes intersect the horizon. As the sun crept lower and lower, we patiently waited for the moment when the colors on the snow shift into gorgeous violets, blues, pinks, and oranges––then slapped on paint with a frenzy that made the wolves howl!

This big, island-studded lake straddles the Boundary Waters Canoe and Wilderness Area. The canoe is a replica of the workhorse of the beaver trade. It fit 10-or-so paddlers and as many 90 lb. pelt bundles as possible. Wikipedia informed me it’s also called a rabaska or Maître canoe. The former is a Canadianism of a word from the Cree or Algonquin inventors of the bark vessel. The latter is some french dude from Montreal who was good at making them. The painting won a “Best of the Gunflint Trail” award at the 2019 Grand Marais Plein Air event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1576523559014-WD4AI7XKF5D91D1SXYCK/17-049fSOLD.jpg Water Paintings Early Evening from Lafayette Point, 12 x 16 oil on panel Painted on the shore of Lake Superior, July, 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1576010719183-K08F3DR3RV4PQLKXX6TM/19-027ssSOLD.jpg Water Paintings Misty Pond, 11 x 7, oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1570740099058-LJABKJLC39EC4VQDMH8E/19-058ss.jpg Water Paintings Quetico Tableau 12 x 26 oil on panel This park is just across the border. Canada’s Boundary Waters canoe and wilderness area per sé. The character of the rock always amazes. I was told by a geology guy that the exposed rock in this general area is some the oldest in the hemisphere. I told my fellow canoe tripper this, who lives in the very rocky Connecticut. He replied that’s what a geology guy told him about his rock.

That's east of the immense city of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province. And that's just west of Hong Kong. The lovely orange tone in the atmosphere may be hazy and romantic, but it's smog. Funny, the same thing is going on in Monet's famous impressionistic painting, "Impression, Sunrise." The location is the port of Le Havre, his hometown. Monet was celebrating all the commerce and industry going on there. He was proud of the smog.

The color notes are fleeting, but a whole rack of water craft—foreshortened perspective and upside down? Nuts. The painting ended up in the right ball park in terms of the light effect, design, and drawing, but when I saw it the next day in the studio, I noticed that the skew of the red canoe in the lower left was off. Should I have “fixed it”? Maybe, maybe not. If I did, it’s likely that one fix would lead to another. Every fix tends to tighten the form and inevitably mutes the energy of the initial brushwork. Sargent would famously scrape out passages of brushwork and lay on new ones over and over. He wanted to (and did because he was, you know, a master) make every stroke look like it was the first stroke. After long rumination, I decided to leave this one alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586546378640-AWM79CAMIZNEQ91PQYEJ/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Dreaming of the Boundary Waters, 16 x 12 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586546259381-9SXLSCV721DTFB4MEN74/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Toy House On the Porch, 10 x 8 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586544521055-76C89KM6U2X8DQQGCXU2/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Toys Waiting, 18 x 28 oil on canvas I painted a small 8 x 10 of this a few blocks from my house last summer. A few months later, in the studio, I felt like luxuriating again in its squirrelly shapes and glowing plastic, but I challenged myself to do it without using blue paint. Just using viridian green and combos of alizarin crimson and tinted ivory black for the cools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586545930218-WDBCB8OZJ8FT95B0IP2D/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Alley Motif, 16 x 12 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586544252317-YQDHO5Y5VG4ZIDFLX6F7/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Minneapolis Stone Arch Bridge, March, 12 x 16 oil on panel This scene attracted my eye because of how bright everything was. The limestone of the facing plane of the bridge was absorbing so much reflected light, it barely seemed to be in shadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586544087037-X6MWQM9603G8Q1SQROHK/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Minneapolis Stone Arch Bridge and Riverfront Skyline, 12 x 16 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1586543789943-UMPNPI0WBIFTWVBJOJRF/image-asset.jpeg Cities & Towns Sunset Over the Sidewalk, 10 x 8 oil on panel This is a scene I always enjoy in the winter.

I saw this scene nextdoor and it seemed evocative in some way. Maybe it was the colors, the alignment of things or the different colors of lights on the leaves. I especially liked the warm light from the streetlamp coming in from the left compared to the cooler light from my neighbor’s front door to the right. (SOLD) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1544237698081-PKB5XYGZNMM9C81KFJAR/16-055ss.jpg Cities & Towns Fall Street Cleaning, 12 x 16 oil on panel (SOLD) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824894462-ERF8KDBYA6B78QB019VR/09-125ss.jpg Cities & Towns Che kan Street Scene (China), 12 x 16 oil on panel Looking into the sunlight down this small street, I liked the slant of the tree against the right angles of the buildings. A man sat on a small stool and cooked for most of the morning, creating a nice, smoky-blue accent. Set up on the side of the street, I sucked a lot of fossil fuel emissions this session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824896364-FXIWB52MRCUKLTRL9C13/11-033ss.jpg Cities & Towns Orange and Blue Chairs, 12 x 16 oil on panel I like to ride my bike around the neighborhood, pulling my gear in a little trailer. Vignettes like this are evocative to me for some reason, so I stop and paint them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824897277-S5DL1MZZ3KVDC46A0HMV/11-036ss.jpg Cities & Towns Orange and Blue, 12 x 16 oil on panel Orange and blue is one of my favorite color combinations, but, I can't stand it on football uniforms. (My family will attest that I have strong opinions on the topic of uniforms.) The Florida Gators, Denver Broncos, Minneapolis Washburn High School Millers — hard for me to watch them. Too cartoony I guess. Or maybe it's just the proportion of orange to blue, or the blue being too light. Auburn University's blue is more navy, and the orange is just for trim, so I like it better......see? There i go again. But I sure dig the color combo on this old VW van and its garage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824918444-RUR70J7RTMKD0OAVHMYW/16-061ss.jpg Cities & Towns Autumn Glow Across the Street, 16 x 20 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824898594-ONDAPP5LA2MEEM38NBPZ/11-045ss.jpg Cities & Towns The Neighbor's Addition, 12 x 16 oil on panel Another look in between houses in my neighborhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824898158-SXRSRNCRMH2MC6HQMAL6/11-059ss.jpg Cities & Towns Arrangement with Leaves, Truck, and Hose, 12 x 16 oil on panel It's amazing how often a Thalo Green hose crawls into a scene to give me a much-needed opposing angle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824890636-RYPCGITOLZ001MNMVRX1/07-001ss.jpg Cities & Towns The Neighbor's Driveway, 14 x 22 oil on linen. During a recent cold snap, my painting buddy Richard Abraham noted all the steam rising out of buildings around town, as in this vignette.

A baitshop there has this amazing sculpture of a Walleye jutting out of the building. The fiberglass glows and reflects all sorts of color and light. It's closed now, but I'm sure the town's elders want the new tenant to keep the fish. It's iconic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824895890-XLM3QRGYH0XE4CM8890R/10-070ss.jpg Cities & Towns Spoon Bridge and Cherry, 8 x 10 oil on panel We Minneapolitans love our Claes Oldenburg fountain at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden at Walker Art Center. I suppose this painting is redundant — doing art about other art. Elvis Costello said, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.” Or was it Frank Zappa? Gertrude Stein? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824898882-31T4DA2GYX1QJOJRV5NV/12-002ss.jpg Cities & Towns Food & Deli, 12 x 20 oil on panel On cloudy days I gravitate toward things with bright color.

The chromatic red flag on the green would be appreciated by artist Frederic Church from the Hudson River School. He liked to plant tiny, red sarapéd old dudes on a donkeys, or some other hot accent, into his huge paintings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824901370-6D5QT9QV2IQW9UO7SI2M/13-021ss.jpg Cities & Towns Railyard Perspective, 24 x 18 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824902261-9LILJMH1W9OFDSUQV7HW/14-027ss.jpg Cities & Towns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824903052-O4VNTH1RW7OQL535VXGJ/14-049ss.jpg Cities & Towns The Loon Grocery, 21 x 20 oil on panel This junk food and cig shop on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis used to be popular after bar closing. I like the name, though I'm not sure what the jungle motif mural has to do with the Minnesota state bird. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824903000-C5C1HW2X06FBEMDQ06QO/14-050ss.jpg Cities & Towns Shop on Sheridan, 18 x 24 oil on canvas Sheridan Road runs along Lake Michigan all the way from the city of Chicago to the Wisconsin border. The quaint Rogers Park neighborhood lies at the north end of the city and is home to Loyola University and some great architecture, including a few Frank Lloyd Wright designs. I love this old sign at what is now an antique shop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824904212-XFAS7O5GKCQZ6MUNPW86/14-051ss.jpg Cities & Towns Xerxes Avenue Tableau, 24 x 18 oil on canvas Flatness. Modernists were obsessed with it. The canvas is flat, they’d say, so artists should embrace the 2-D surface and stop trying to perpetuate a lie of 3-dimensionality. This gave us the abstract icons of the 20th century like Picasso, Pollock, and countless others. My take on flatness is to do straight-on views like this. To distill a picture down to the broad, general shapes of things. I’d like to think Mondrian would be pleased with this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824903822-J2BQEQMU6CR26AKI1FQV/14-067ss.jpg Cities & Towns Five Watt Coffeehouse, 8 x 10 oil on panel A new coffee shop opened near our house. The expressive and energetic brushwork is mostly on account of their house dark roast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1511824904361-ARNNUBS81A3BBVCQAVTX/14-078ss.jpg Cities & Towns Afternoon Light on the Minneapolis Skyline, 20 x 12 oil on panel I'm always looking for interesting views of downtown. I try to avoid the ones that are photographed a lot.

This tree is fairly recent growth. 146 years ago, on a hot July afternoon, this stone wall is about as far as old Bobby Lee's boys got. The Confederates crossed this mile-long field from the tree line on Seminary Ridge.

My vantage point was the adjacent 10th Avenue Bridge on the downstream side. The wide walkway/bikeway ended up filling up with a regular audience to the spectacle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337562861-9REIRWDK8E7ES2JU7HCW/08_029ss.jpg I-35 Bridge Red Crane, Yellow Crane, Blue Crane 18 x 24 oil on canvas I was channeling George Bellows when I painted this scene.

He had watched me paint the day before, lamenting that he had always wanted to be an art major (not that the religiously modern University painting faculty would ever consider teaching him anything remotely like my representational art). This angle showed the tilt of the bridge’s roadbed because of it’s curve heading across the river. Mostly, I was interested in the differing nature of the dirt piles vs. the primary-colored cranes.

The crew had a bit of a ceremony and it was all very moving. From the clearing of the wreckage after the collapse, to this, the whole project was done in about a year. Amazing what can be done if everyone works together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536336648165-OI3XO4KSZIC4C9HJSCKZ/08_030ss.jpg I-35 Bridge Security, 12 x 16 oil on panel This was one of the security gates around the perimeter of the construction site. The attendant wouldn’t let me on the grounds to paint, which was his job, but his real task was to keep the hastily built wooden “Keep Out” sign standing in the wind. A fruitless task. After while, he just let it stay down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337474966-4A6YTS4T8V307433TJGQ/08_032ss.jpg I-35 Bridge Casting a Segment 18 x 24 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337504000-5HEGJ8UBN9IU6U4BR3UH/08_036ss.jpg I-35 Bridge Sunrise on the Bridge’s East Side (unfinished) 18 x 36 oil on canvas.

It was mounted on a barge that had two tugboats on the downstream side running 24/7 for the entirety of the project. Like defensive linemen in football, their job was to not move, or, to keep the barge in place against the powerful current. Out of view are two huge chains attached to the front two corners of the barge that spooled to tighten or loosen depending on which way they needed the barge to move. With links the size of my forearm, the sound of them winding up was like fingernails on a blackboard times a tillion.

As the span got longer, the weight of the thing defied gravity. If not for the frequency of retired engineers living in the nearby condos lecturing me on “post tension concrete” I would never have understood. Not that I really do now. But Google it, maybe you’ll get it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337781501-PO8I48XG4TFIZER5E4X6/08_043ss.jpg I-35 Bridge Laying Pavement at the On-Ramp 12 x 20 oil on panel, in private collection I spent most of a night painting this. As the machines crept along, I moved my easel backwards foot by foot until they joined University Avenue early in the morning. Parts of the crew enjoyed watching the progress of my work as they paused for a few minutes before their part of the job was needed. One of the guys in the florescent vests standing in the deep shadow was enjoying his first day back on the job. He was one of the road crew atop the bridge doing resurfacing work when it collapsed, breaking his back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536336656537-BTOIY7TQ0IINCIL0F08A/08_044ss.jpg I-35 Bridge Details 36 x 18 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536337727105-G9WNHXZUQ70AL6SYGQ9R/08_047ss.jpg I-35 Bridge Morning Mist on the River 18 x 36 oil on canvas, in private collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1536336660669-V2W4KJUEKF6NER6Q361V/08-046ss.jpg I-35 Bridge Cones 10 x 8 oil on panel No highway or major road construction would be complete without these babies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1528676807105-J9AN3OQYH7SR7SVLHXR8/05-049ss.jpg I-35 Bridge https://www.scottlloydanderson.com/snowfolk-1 daily 0.75 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1738603453367-1B0RRDLSE7KXYUXVBRI2/image-asset.jpeg Snowfolk Snowfolk 42, One Eye, 24 × 18” oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737492302244-QVYU34V7ZEYPQH091D27/19-001ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 40 (Melting Out in Center Field), 24 × 36” oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737492843232-3S0H2JG9NR9AJ2GBOKND/19-033ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 34 (Night at the Intersection); 36 x 48 oil on canvas Winner of a 2nd Place ribbon for painting in the 2019 Minnesota State Fair Juried Fine Art Exhibition. When the kids were little, they used to build 3- to 4-foot snow people then set them in the middle of our quiet—but not totally quiet—side street. They’d sit behind the backyard fence and watch as cars came along. Most drivers would ease up, then… Would they slowly smush the little guy? Accelerate to ramming speed and explode it? It was always a pleasant surprise how many people would carefully drive around, presumably with a smile on their faces. Safety advocates might not recommend this pastime (Don’t try this at home, kids!), but it beats YouTube. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737493224935-T2EDNZBMCG3TCXXXLFC4/18-002ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 29 (Dusty): 16 × 12 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737493589729-2CY78D1PGJDJ5PF429OV/18-003ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 30 (Leaning Right): 24 × 36 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737493744433-3EXB2UOSW3SPBV13WZN7/18-004ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 31 (She Worries That She Spends Too Much Time in the Sun): 18 × 22 oil on linen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737493903657-B65LM8N2CEBC8GCO1BAQ/18-005ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 32 (Blue Scarf): 16 × 12 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737493972874-R8G53P710BUO9CNMINC9/18-006ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 33 (Late Afternoon: 16 × 12 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494056719-W7US151ZSG8U49P31NIE/18-059ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 34 (Polka Dot Hat): 20 × 16 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494192631-DXIQKCR25J1FKMDG77FT/18-060ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 35 (She Can Dream of Beach Volleyball Can’t She?) 18 × 24 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494330165-CHI5ZQF3E015L8EHMTFK/18-061ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 36 (They Contemplate Their Predicament): 24 × 30 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494491279-FUQJT63VOHZIKW6JKA90/18-062ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 37 (Junior Lost His Head: 18 × 28 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494621760-NMW4PVVM64T28Q6TNZET/18-063ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 38 (Top Hat:) 16 × 20 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494693498-IGH9TGKSFZEEQMOSL3FF/18-064ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 39 (Across the Street): 30 × 40 oil on canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494763701-RI4X2K5LSA3C5OXYAD2X/18-065ss.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 41 (Googly Eyes): 16 × 12 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494841239-HWXZ57N04SSBCW15A5UL/17-000f.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 12 (Blue Shadow): 20 × 16 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737494920101-7VLXULHL8QWZQ8Z8HKPN/17-001f.jpg Snowfolk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495008560-A85REM9UDQGZTB47VMGI/17-003f.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 12 (Big Guy): 20 × 16 oil on panel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495034882-V55USXKUJI8VHVAJPVSU/17-004f.jpg Snowfolk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495061401-E4HRAGTLNAA5TSUWVT55/17-005f.jpg Snowfolk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495083597-PESTFCQ387BKI4NHAHZ4/17-006f.jpg Snowfolk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495116880-48ERF0ZOBRTLS8ZN8LKO/17-007ss.jpg Snowfolk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495222873-WQI8V305OIPK7BBFNMFZ/17-008ss.jpg Snowfolk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495253204-SZNEW3L7BP3YDHMAIZJS/17-008Bf.jpg Snowfolk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495282176-C04CBSJP2SFPG1BOGOYL/17-009f.jpg Snowfolk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0cc662cd39c357940fd325/1737495321340-67OAZ98W3KCSOC1Q6AX6/17-010f.jpg Snowfolk Snowfolk 10 (Blrdy): 30 × 40 oil on panel.
