"Desolation Row"

Acrylic on canvas:  16 x 20 in.

Being from Minnesota I felt compelled to paint Bob Dylan.  I've never been a huge Dylan fan, but I have to say that I actually enjoyed listening to his music while I worked on this painting.  I wanted this piece to look somewhat bleak, so I limited my palette to blue, black, red and white.  And if you look closely at his sunglasses you can see a reflection of the Duluth lift bridge-- a tribute to Bob Dylan's birthplace and one of my favorite places to visit.

Rocky

My Rocky painting will be on display at the Hopkins Center for the Arts through September 4 as part of the Salon 300 show, so stop in and take a look if you get a chance.  There's a lot of nice work on display from  Minnesota artists.
