Red Devil Pickup    $300  16″ x 20″  watercolor

I have 40 paintings on exhibit at the UW-Sheboygan Fine Arts Gallery for my new show titled:  Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. This exhibition is a culmination of a number of years of painting.  I chose this subject because of the different shapes, colors, and what these vehicles were built for…everything from racing, protecting our country, pleasure cars, planting crops, moving freight, putting out fires, advertising.   Each vehicle has its own historical importance for its time period.  Most of these vehicles were made in America.

The exhibit will be up from November 1 – 30, 2016.

Opening Reception Friday, November 4  from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm.  Refreshments will be served.

The public is welcome. There is no admission charge.

Gallery hours: Monday-Thursday (9 am – 9 pm) and Friday (8 am – 6 pm).

The gallery is located inside the Fine Arts Building on the UW-Sheboygan campus which is located at One University Drive in Sheboygan.  Park in the east parking lot.
