For anyone interested, I thought I would share with all what I've been working on.

another addition. This is from Idaho at Redfish Lake. I personally took the reference photos and did this piece as a gift for our Niece and her husband about a year ago

My newest painting. This one got on the front page of the Montgomery News, next town over from me. It will be good publicity for the upcoming show in which I am a participant. Always helpful.

here's another one if you haven't seen it yet

This came up on YouTube only 6 months ago. My friend came across it and posted it. So, it’s me and my friends from 28 years ago. I am on the far left, playing the third part.

here is another one for you to look at. from my hometown of Griggstown, NJ

ready for another one? well, here is one I recently parted with...it is a satisfying thing to have people actually want to add my paintings to their collections. Better than sitting in my studio collecting dust and not have anyone looking at them for long stretches of time!And- maybe this will cool you off a little

today I have a piece from Ketchikan Alaska where there was this scene and we even saw some Salmon trying their best to swim up this very strong current. I love attempting to re create the raging white water, and sometimes I get it, and sometimes not so much!

A scene not too far from my home. This is a small switch house originally from the Pennsylvania RR, but the "myth" that has spread about it is that it was the Bridge tender's house, I have since found out otherwise. The PRR bought the Delaware & Raritan Canal and essentially put it out of business in the early 1930s. At its peak, the D&R canal did more commerce than the Erie Canal.

Thought I would share this recent one, just to send greetings to all for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

@Dr-GO
Doing that cruise painting was equivalent to having a blind person describe what it looked like and having to paint it blindfolded…….
Well, not quite, but the challenge was very big!

@Dr-GO you may be surprised to hear you are way off on that figure, Doc!
I count at least 7 you have had me do. ANNNNNND I am very grateful for it, too. ( In no particular order..)

@administrator
How much do you love it?

Saw this farm a couple of weeks ago. I have seen it probably a hundred times, but this time I saw it differently. Stopped on the side of the road and took several pics. And here’s what I came up with. Hopewell, NJ farm.

@J-Jericho said in Artist on BOARD:

@BigDub Do you market your art? Do you exhibit?

All I do is the following. Website: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/waynemathisenstudio
FaceBook Wayne Mathisen
And an occasional local show. Not often enough.
So not too much marketing involved here.

This is a departure from my usual subject matter, but just the same, I love this subject. I shied away from this because I didn’t want to fall on my face. This is a result of much planning and plotting. 5 or more reference scenes, and completely made up background setting. I took longer to do this than usual but I think I am happy I did. Early on I was not planning to show this to anyone, but saw some potential and thought you’d like to see it.
I called it, “High Meadow ride”

@administrator never mind the “like this”, I would say I have never heard a Kuhlohorn, period. That may change soon. When I listen to it my first time.

This was inspired by my neighborhood walks. This tree is right down the next street from me, so, with some changes, here it is

I painted this in response to the way the sky looks on a crisp winter night just at the tail end of sunset. This is my own backyard view in central NJ. Early morning isn’t bad either!

It’s hard to imagine the organizers of the Super Bowl Half time can be so out of touch with what seems to be the taste of more than half of the audience. There must be a percentage of people that somehow…..enjoy it? Hard to figure, no?
