Tune in or stream live WAYO (https://wayofm.org/) 104.3 FM's Graphic Ear tomorrow at 5:30 PM as I will be the guest host.  And we'll have one very special guest as well.


Mike Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold hundreds of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.

Exploring Dutton's View

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


Exploring Dutton's View
acrylic on canvas board

Dutton's View is a place of contemplation.  The climb up is fairly simple and easy, but opens possibilities to the horizon.  I have to ask "where does this beauty come from?"  Does beauty come from the sky, lakes, and trees themselves?  Or is it just a sensation in my head?  Either way, Dutton's View has made it possible to live a fuller life.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, dark green, dark blue, purple, black, white, gray, beige. or wood

Sunflowers and Lavender In Provence France

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


Sunflowers and Lavender In Provence France

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence.  Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating.  And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple and blue lavender.  The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault.  I'll never forget the fields of France.

This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, dark green, dark blue, purple, black, white, gray, beige. or wood
