Karsten's Korner

My dear friends and greatest collectors recently sent me this photo of their collection of my paintings.  The paintings represent Maine winter, spring, summer and fall, and they have them arranged in a corner of their dining room.  I am currently working on a major (24x48) commission for them.  Thanks guys!

Friends of Baxter State Park

The Friends of Baxter State Park are organizing a Plein Air Paint Out on July 24th, and I have been juried in to participate.  Also, the selected artists have been asked to submit one painting to be sold at an online auction prior to the paint out.  This little 9x12 bear picture is my entry.

Information regarding the auction may be obtained from Suzanne Brewer at suzbrew@roadrunner.com.

Commission: Ronnie's Deer

Just delivered this 24x48 landscape painting of a deer, seen from just outside his cabin in the woods.  What a beautiful spot!  For various reasons, it took over 3 years from start to finish... 

Thanks for you patience, Ronnie & Connie!
