Oakwood Park Golf

Artist's Statement: "In oil on panel I paint urban parks and nature preserves from direct observation, and in the studio from drawn sketches aided by memory. There number 156 parks, parkways, and nature preserves in the Milwaukee County system. My project is to paint all of them. Thus far I’ve painted over 100.

In painting these parks I celebrate the green oases that add ecological and social value to Milwaukee's urban environment. Oakwood Park Golf here pictured is one such example.

I contribute to the broader landscape art dialogue as well as local life and culture by depicting in paint my city’s wealth of natural beauty."
