Life on the Bay by Chuck Carlson

This 16″x20″ painting began back in the late 1970′s using acrylic paints on a canvas board. Due to career issues I had put this painting aside to focus on full time employment. It was forgotten until this past year when it was found while going thru old portfolios. I have made numerous changes in oil paint and it is now framed and hangs in my home office.

Acrylic landscape painting completed in 1992 of the Palisades Head along the north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. One of my favorite vacation spots while living and working in the Minneapolis area.

This 24″ x 36″ oil painting on canvas that I named “Wild Mountain Dream” is the first oil that I have completed. It is a fantasy depiction of a mountain scene that was inspired while touring the Pecos River in northern New Mexico.
