​This photo was taken in the studio of Dale Knaak the day I picked up the painting you see on my home page.
 
I've admired Dale's work for a while and have several of his paintings in my home.  He suggested the painting of the courthouse, which I commissioned.  Dale's painting respects the Art Deco architecture of the Sheboygan County Courthouse, while using the distinct Knaak style and colors.
 
Dale is a Sheboygan native.  He studied art in Milwaukee and earned a degree in Commercial Art.  He now lives and works in Sheboygan, and maintains a warehouse studio near the Sheboygan River.
