Summertime fun.

June 17, 2012
This latest painting was created almost entirely in the public eye.

Days are flying faster than I could imagine. In just a few short weeks I am looking forward to seeing friends up on Washington Island, Wisconsin for a fine dose of historical teaching, good food, fine fellowship, music, and a showing of my artwork.

The wonderful folk on the Island are welcoming and accommodating each year to our small group of re-enactors as we settle on the ground of the Farm Museum around the 4th of July.

This year I will be sharing my paintings with the residents in a one-woman showing at Fiddler’s Green on Washington Island. I will have a fair body of work in the show and plan to have prints available for many of them.

The newest piece, “Sisters” is at the printer right now and will be available in limited edition soon. Exciting stuff!

New bit of construction

May 23, 2012

I opened up a couple more gallery pages in the PORTFOLIO: Gichlee Prints, and miniatures. Some original works have Gichlee prints available in both limited editions and open editions. Both original works and prints on their respective pages are now priced under the enlarged image display should you care to adopt a favorite. Sure, the site is still evolving but it is a little more polished with each new bit of construction.

Working on site

Painting at Oshkosh 2012

Last weekend I was set up for the Oshkosh Trade Fair in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. My booth was in a good location on an exterior wall that provide me with excellent visibility and placement for traffic patterns. I painted off and on, roughing in a painting and getting a fair run on it while I talked about art to dozens of wonderful people; friends, patrons, historians, and strangers …although I try not to keep them strangers for long. And boy did I talk art– almost nonstop for two days — leaving at the end of the weekend wanting more.

Isn’t it great to have something you truly love to do and then share it with others?

The next step – opening up the portfolio

February 5, 2012

Time to take the next step towards making this site a proper artist’s website by opening up images for viewing… don’t you agree? I have opened this next part EVEN THOUGH it is still evolving (slightly under construction) so you can see my work and watch the site grow. Take a browse and get to know me and my work better.
