Latest Art Print "Hidden Potential"
Hidden Potential is a section of a building in downtown Albert Lea.

Originally it was City Hall but over the years it has been home to the Fire department, Chamber of Commerce and now a Real Estate Office. I originally painted this building as a personalized piece for the Ekstom family, titled "Tratorria Del Lago." This painting is on my home page and can also be seen on our artwork by doyle page. I am always intrigued with great architecture and I want others to look at many of these same type of buildings as a treasure. Quite often these buildings are neglected and run down due to the cost of maintaining them. My hopes are for others to see their Hidden Potential, their character and craftsmanship that can't easily be reproduced today.

This piece "Hidden Potential" will be launched soon. We are uncertain if it will be in canvas or on paper. We have discussed coming out with my first poster as an open edition to introduce my work to a wider audience.

We're Moving
Currently my wife and myself are in the works of moving to another old home. Just a block away from our current home, but we will now be able to enjoy the lake from our back yard. Once again we will have our work cut out for us with creating a studio space out of the large attic and the to do list will be quite large also. The removal of wall paper from nearly every inch of the home does not excite us, but we are excited to be staying in a neighborhood that our children feel comfortable in, along with having the space that will suit our needs.

Being directly on the lake is obviously a great part of this move. It will make a part of every day feel somewhat like a vacation.

Somerby Wine Tasting
Somerby Golf Club in Byron Minnesota will be allowing me to be a part of their fall wine tasting event. If you are a member of Somerby I look forward to meeting you there this fall. Date still to be determined.
