Silent Snow

 

This painting started out with white, paynes grey and indigo. I then added little highlights of raw Sienna and red earth. You have to look close to see the subtle variation. I wanted this piece to feel like winter but cozy - not cold.

Cheerful Blue Jay

 Blue Jay's are constant visitors at our house. My son decided they are his favorite bird and I enjoy their constant presence. I wanted this regal Jay to have a fun and whimsical energy. Stripes, circles and bright colors give this painting a cheerful feel.

Showy

 

I remember being a child and finding so much joy in discovering Showy Lady-slippers. My Grandpa knew how much we loved these, I think he did too. He would scout out the best spots to see them and take us on lady-slipper drives. I paint them for this reason and because the swirl of the deep green leaves against the  delicate flower is really fun to paint.

The Calm •SOLD

There is a frame shop in Wisconsin called Avenue Art. Since the first time I entered their doors it has been a favorite stop every time my family is in Appleton. I stock up on beautiful frames and enjoy visualizing what to paint to fit the frame. This rich blue frame asked me to paint a tree surrounded by complimentary sunset tones. ..so I did!

The Big Lake •ON HOLD
