Truly a gorgeous day at camp wadewitz today. We took in great views of all the pans and woods and the Backwoods and a bumblebee sting. This is my view of Rose at her perch overlooking the rest of the park.
Today at the 4th of July Parade in Waterford, WI
I’m not a big fan of parades, but I do love spending time outdoors. Here’s my latest painting. Happy 4th of July.

A picture perfect summer day in Waterford. Here is my newest watercolor painting.
Taliesin and my High School Plein Air Summer Studio – What a GREAT day.
“A Young Girl’s Balcony at Taliesin”, Frank Korb, Watercolor on Paper, June 29, 2017
“Effi’s Place – The Engineer’s Cottage” Frank Korb, Watercolor on Paper, June 29, 2017, Collection of Effi Casey.
If you are ever in the Spring Green part of Wisconsin, or are just looking for a destination for the day, Taliesin is the place to go. (Not to be confused with the House on the Rock – which is a lovely place I am sure.) My plein air artists were treated to a beautiful and insightful tour of the house and studio of Mr. Wright in Taliesin as well as the school of architecture (and lunch) at the Hillside School (information about the school itself can be found HERE). Thank you to Caroline and Becky for the hospitality and warm welcome (again). Thanks also to the hardworking artists who were able to paint, draw, and get to meet some of the folks at Taliesin. AS for me… I got two watercolors done (one is now in the collection of Effi Casey, an instructor at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture – Taliesin) a painting of her house on the Taliesin Grounds.
A day at Taliesin with my summer Plein Air Artists. I love the days like this.

#PleinAir is back in the air!
So glad to start the Plein Air Summer Studio at my high school. 11 kids – most of whom showed up. It was a great experience. Check out Facebook.com/ArtWithKorb to see the images of my artists and http://www.ArtWithKorb.com to see the day to day plans and ideas. Here is my day’s work – just one painting of “The Curve in the Road”.

New Works on Canvas… more movement, momentum, mixture
With a new approach to a similar theme, I am developing works based on quicker movement and harsher changes in direction. Life sends me in new directions in aspects I have invested so much heart and design soul into… the work needs to express some of the humanness life offers and the harsher and contrasting directional change. These 5 works are in porgress, layers of additional planes of color are in mind… but this is process and I love sharing and thinking about the process.

Protests in Kenosha against Donald Trump.
Today in Kenosha I came to protest Donald Trump. Rather than tons of photographs, I made a series of drawings, met a lot of great people (from both sides of the aisle) and shook a few hands. Here are my drawings… one of which is in the proud possession of Deputy Campbell. Thanks. (I was only told to stay on the sidewalk once… maybe twice.)
The helicopters were pretty cool.
At the Riverside with Alton Brown… and Phil… Eat Your Science!
Thank you Julie for a great Christmas gift… Alton Brown Live Eat Your Science.
Phil got a photo and a drawing… We didn’t get backstage – Thanks Phil (just kidding).
We got a GREAT Show with AB.
Day Late for Postcards but… here it is anyway.
I might be a day late on getting my postcards out, but it’s a big country, and my postcards to the White House should show up around the same time others do.
WI State Fair FAIRtastic Art Show
Once again I have submitted work to the WI State Fair FAIRtastic Art Competition. This year the fair is celebrating 125 years – that’s a long time. Here are my sketches and plans. Any thoughts? Let me know!
