Lost paintings in Kenosha-Racine, Wisconsin

I’m a local painter who set up a small outdoor display along the Kenosha Harbor, near Harbor Park, on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. I turned away for a moment to help a couple of visitors, and when I looked back, my two canvases and a small sketchbook were gone from the easel. One painting is a bright orange abstraction, the other a moody blue seascape; the sketchbook has a handful of quick studies and notes in my handwriting. I spoke with a few neighbors and a vendor, but no one saw a thing. These paintings represent weeks of work and a dream for a forthcoming show, and I’m crushed at their loss.
