Studio in the Sky - Murals, Fine Art, Design

02/03/2023

It has been two years since we last attended the Chicago Brushmasters Charity Auction event and we really miss seeing all of our artist friends. After our large mural project last fall, it has taken us a bit to catch our breath and start painting small again!

Just after the recent holidays, I started in on a several pieces, some of them to donate to the auction and a couple others just for fun. I think I have 3 or 4 pieces pretty much completed and I keep plugging away on the others when I can. We currently have a feels like temp here of -21 F degrees, so it is hard not want to curl up in a blanket.

I thought I would post a few pics of our current "works in progress" pieces sitting around the studio right now. I will post some pics of the finished pieces with descriptions in the near future.

Take Care...stay warm!

I’ve been painting murals for over 20 years. I’ve painted them in California, Florida, Canada, New England, and all over the midwest. But I have yet to get the opportunity to paint a mural in my hometown of Menomonie, WI. That will be changing this Summer when my wife Brenda and I will paint the “Welcome to Menomonie Mural”.

My daughter Jacque Dye is opening a new business in Menomonie this year, and we have obtained permission from the owners of the building at 620 Main St. E., to paint an 1100 sq. ft. mural on the east side of the building.

The mural features historic architectural sites as well as various Menomonie and Dunn County points of interest in a 1940’s Large Letter post card style. The mural will cover an area 15' tall X 75' wide.

We are planning on starting the mural project during the “Let’s Paint the Town” event in Downtown Menomonie on July 22-23, 2022. We will be releasing more information as the project develops.

Hope you can plan a visit to check out the progress of the “Welcome to Menomonie Mural” in July 2022.
