Mosaic Chapel

"Mosaic Chapel" 5" x 7" Oil on canvas panel

This is the chapel in the Wegner Grotto in Cataract, Wisconsin.  It's about the size of a shed in which you store the lawnmower.  I lost the pizzaz in this little painting when I darkened the walls by a little too much. It's still a cute little painting of one unique little park. 

The rooftop is shards of glass. The fence in the foreground is topped with thousands of shards of glass, stuck in concrete on end. It's not a fence you'd want to climb in the dark, without prior knowledge of its prickly nature.

Golden Star

"Golden Star" 5" x 7" Acrylic on canvas board

I attended a plein air event in Cataract, Wisconsin over the weekend. We could paint three pieces in the two day event. I painted this one first. It's a mosaic star at the Wegner Grotto. I painted three other pieces and eliminated this star. Wrong choice. The judge told everyone that my star would have won first place had it not been swapped out for a begonia piece I finished five minutes before the end of the competition.  I did not win, but I could have. Broke my heart.
