Living and Painting in the North Country

 

The North Country is a northern pike, striking hard. It is the plaintive cry of the loon, bouncing off the water's surface and wandering through the pines like a restless ghost. It is the swish-swish sound of skis cutting a path through newly fallen snow. It is mini-donuts, corn dogs, and lemon shake-ups. It is hot dishes and hot pads, you betchya.

 Weborg Lodge combines two of my passions — painting and the outdoors. I live and work in the land of 10,000 lakes, which gives me all the inspiration I need both for painting and plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature.  Pour yourself a beverage and explore the beauty of this idyllic place.

Share your passion.  Make your own lens

Just Off the Easel 

Here is my latest. I was inspired by the dense fogs we've been experiencing lately as the ice on the lake starts the great melt. It has a lonely kind of feel to it, which happened to be my mood at the time. I wanted there to be a bit of light, hope, thus the lighted windows. There's warmth and company to be found there. Hope you like it.

My Favorite Painting 

I read somewhere that artists should keep their favorite paintings and not sell them. Should have followed that advice. I created this painting about two years ago before I adopted the cat that would be absolute double of the subject of this work. Maybe that is part of its attraction for me. Maybe it's the position of the cat. Maybe it's the lazy, sleepy kind of feeling of the scene. And just maybe, I'll have to paint it again--and not sell it!

Great Stuff on Amazon 

Here are some of my favorite artbooks, providing inspiration, explanation, and a darn good read. Enjoy!

The Encyclopedia of Water Color Techniques

A great reference, with tips from a variety of artists. No matter what your style is, there is something here for you. Also very good if you're exploring a new technique and just want a good, to-the-point explanation

Amazon Price: (as of 05/10/2008)

14 Formulas for Painting Fabulous Landscapes

More of an advanced book than an actual how-to, the advice is sound and helpful. The author's own works provide good examples of the different forms. The book contains both oil and watercolor demos.

Amazon Price: (as of 05/10/2008)

How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself: Experimental Techniques for Achieving Realistic Effects

Engle's paintings are stunning. The artist unselfishly provides detailed instruction on creating paintings that seem effortless. This is not a beginner's book, however.

Amazon Price: (as of 05/10/2008)

The Big Book of Painting Nature in Watercolor (Practical Art Books)

Lots of great reference photographs with varying degrees of instruction. The book itself is a nice reference if you find yourself stuck about how to paint something.

Amazon Price: $19.77 (as of 05/10/2008)

Why Paint Cats: The Ethics of Feline Aesthetics

Just for fun. This book made me laugh at loud.

Amazon Price: $12.21 (as of 05/10/2008)
