I bemoan the fact that I need to get the photo of the day done..but when it is done I feel complete.

Today was the last day of my split personality painter|photographer. I participated all week in the Cedarburg plein air competition. I am sure the results will be uneventful, seeing what other painters were accomplishing, but it was a good diversion. Painting is a bit like riding a bike, you never forget, but boy was my bike RUSTY. These were my two entries.

If only the frog sounds could be heard as you view this. They were all happy to have more rain than we need.

Painted today, dodging raindrops, trying to see clearly in fog, and with a chill off the river, yet it was fun. I am never satisfied with my work but I like the process.
This theater has been calling me all week while I am in Cedarburg painting, Art Deco architecture always reminds me of Edward Hopper, especially his painting of the blonde leaning against the wall in a theater like this.

Watertown Wedding Photographers | Kim & Jake

Kim and Jake were married yesterday in Watertown, it was a fabulous day for a wedding! Surrounded by friends and family as their support system, Jake and Kim finally jumped that broom. Their good times are NOT over, as you can see they have just begun. The Flower Box of Watertown did the floral arrangements, the disk jockey Luke Will "Exclusive Sounds", provided great dance music, at the reception in Turner Hall.

The dance has just begun for this couple, and it will be a great one! Congratulations from Artists' Eyes Photography. "may the music never stop"

Why is it when you have good intentions and wonderful plans mother nature rears her ugly head?
Kayaking is out, plan B, brunch and a movie. Why oh why did it have to rain?

Yesterday was a glorious day for a wedding. While our HUGE wedding party whooped it up in a local saloon, I ventured outside to find my photo of the day. Watch this blog for the wedding activities, they were some wild and crazy kids, we had a good time with all of them.

milwaukee portrait photographer | Lilly turns 1

Meet Lilly, she is smiles all over for her first birthday and first photo session. She was great fun to photograph. Our summer time old fashioned bed is back in business in the yard. It makes for a great setting for little tykes like Lilly. Thanks mommy Amanda and a big thanks to the best model, Lilly.

Artists have great difficulty counting..never take an artist drinking because they tend to loose count. I think this is post 40, but I am not certain, because I have been drinking. It's a vicious circle. :)
SUSHI anyone?

On the way home last night I made my driver stop for this "Blair Witch" type building.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Melissa & Tom

Yesterday culminated the marriage of Melissa and Thomas, their vows were taken on a destination to Mexico. There they were able to relax while away from the states, and share their love with family.

The reception yesterday was for all who could not join them on their destination wedding. This time the destination was the Delafield BrewHaus. The beer rocked, the food was terrific, the music got your feet moving, and the cupcakes were out of site!
