I  joined 65 other artists registered for the first Plein Air MKE event sponsored by the Milwaukee Mile Museum.

Artists  painted along the Milwaukee Museum Mile, from Juneau Park on the South to Lake Park on the North. The major streets for painting were Prospect, Terrace, and Wahl Avenues.

The “quick paint” on Brady Street was Saturday, May 7.  I set up in front of Glorioso’s Italian Market and painted Regano’s Golden Coin.  Photojournalist David Kadera filmed me at work for CBS 58 news that evening.  On Wednesday, I painted Little Free Library at Back Bay Park.
