“Twisted at Turn Halle” was painted for the Plein Air Cedarburg event in Wisconsin. This 1867 fieldstone building sits in the Hamilton Historic District. The twisted tree made for an interesting subject, constantly turning in every direction.
The weather was perfect which resulted in some really strong painting from 150 artists. Thank you to my hosts, whom I treasured time spent. Love everything about this event except that it was a week earlier. Have to say that I missed being able to stroll the town during Strawberry Fest. Hopefully next year!

So good to see some more of your work. You’ve done it again with “Twisted”. The personality of your tree seems to leap off the canvas in relation to the stoic stone house that you have captured in your painting. The raccoons stareing out adds an air of playfulness that I find so apeeling. Gilbert Santiago
