Charlie Lenell- Charlie is 16 years old.  Charlie is a very talented young man.  He is  very serious  and takes instructiion and criticism with ease.  He picks very challenging subjects and has the patience to get the job done.  Another one of his talents is writing.  He is in the process of writing and lillustrating a book.  Charlie has been to Kendall to paint  with me, and I hope he will be able to come back up sometime.


Charlie painted this painting of a lighthouse in Wisconsin as a gift for his brother-in-law.  He did a beautiful job on it.




This painting was done with acrylics on a canvasl

Farm scene on canvas in acrylics

Pat Zintak - Pat is one of the most enthusiastic painters I have.  She only missed class when she absolutely had to and was the last one to pack up to leave.  Pat loves to do skys so much, instead of painting many paintings with skys, she paints many skys in her painting!! haha  She has a great eye and natural ability that bubbles out in everything she does.   She always hides her husband or children's names or initials in her paintings.  She is very clever with this and many times we have to hunt to find them.  I am really going to miss our once a week gigglefest!! Pat has been to Kendall several times and it is always so great to see her!

Beautiful winter scene done on a canvas.  It just looks so cold!
These flowers look so delicate.  It shows you how good Pat is...

When Pat drew this in, I said "Boy, that is a big boat!!
Turned out very neat.
This painting was done as a special order for a lady of her dog.

Jim Haseman -  Jim started painting with me at the beginning of 2002.  He retired from Chrysler and decided it was time to do what he wanted to do.  He is painting in acrylics and has the most excitement for the art of painting.  Jimmy is also a "Master Gardner" and is making films about gardening now.  He is doing camera work, writing and editing!  I really think he is busier than when he was working!  Since Jimmy has a place in LaFarge he goes to often, I get the pleasure of having him come to paint often.  Oh....forgot to tell you, he is also my cousin!!!  

This is Jim's first painting!  He has a story...there are chickens in the yard and a dog on the porch!

This painting is his horse through the trees in acrylics

This is Jim's wife's cat done in acrylics

This painting was inspired by an old photo of his mother
Jimmy just had an art exhibit for the month of February 2006 in Janesville, Wi with over 20 paintings!

-Jim Grib -I first met Jim while I was doing a show.  Jim was very excited about learing to paint.  He started painting in January of 2003.  He is a very good detail painter.  He paints many different subjects, mainly places that he relates to. Jim always asked lots of questions and kept a notebook........and I love that! He paints in acrylics on canvas. He wants to learn it all so he can sell a painting for $1,000,000.00!!!   All I can say is - "Go Jim"!!!  Jim has come to Kendall for several painting weekends and is involved in an art group in Monroe, Wisconsin


This is one of the paintings that Jim worked hard on...















Here is Jim at our Portrait Seminar held in June 2005
He did a beautiful job.
