Weister Creek, Vernon County, Wisconsin

Weister Creek, Vernon County, Wisconsin is a vivid 8x10 oil painting that captures the winding spirit of one of the Driftless region’s most quietly stunning features. Tucked between the hills and backroads, this peaceful creek snakes through farmland, prairie, and ridgeline—all brought to life here in a riot of expressive color.

Painted in a fauvist-inspired style similar to Sherbet Skies, this piece turns the landscape into an emotional field. Expect intense purples in the sky, rich golds and electric greens in the fields, and a ribbon of blue guiding the eye across the canvas. The brushwork is confident and textural, letting the palette do most of the storytelling.

This isn't about representing reality—it’s about revealing the emotional temperature of a place. And for me, the Driftless region always simmers with something beneath the surface: memory, quiet awe, the pull of the land itself. Weister Creek is my way of showing that—not through maps or measurements, but through instinct and color.

For those who love rural Wisconsin, expressive landscapes, or paintings that feel alive without being loud, this is one for the wall.
