Realistic Painting Reproductions

Next to nature, I love old, time-worn woodwork the best.  The realistic painting techniques I use to capture the rustic feeling of great old houses, combined with Midwestern lakeshores and lakes, are for me a successful blending of natural places  and man made environments.

This river exists mostly in my imagination, and is a mixture of places I've been in the Midwest and Colorado. It's pure  Midwestern America. The fun part of this realistic painting, however, wasn't the river, but the old house in the foreground. The furnishings are arranged and designed to be as mismatched as I could get them, to make the piece appear haphazard and unique.

His poetry is uniquely Midwestern America, as is the lakeshore setting in this realistic painting.

Grandpa

Like most of my realistic  paintings featuring old house  interiors , this too is an imaginary place, a composite of things I've seen or been shown by people who loved them. The magnificent old spruce which inspired this Midwestern painting, however, is real. It resides by a stream in the Boundary Waters where it has thrived for generations, adding countless offspring to the cycle of life there.

Oil Lamps

The partial painting on the left wall of this old house was the inspiration for this classic Americana theme.  It's closely copied from part of an Andrew Wyeth painting titled "Oil Lamp".  In fact, the realistic painting techniques I employ allowed me to make such a good copy of it that I had to go back in and destroy some of my work, to avoid copyright issues.
