Weaving Reflections





 I have had this image in my mind for so long - it is satisfying to finally see it come to life! Bull Rush often appear in my paintings as a border but I wanted to see it as the main focus. When dried grasses wrap around the green Bull Rush it gives them a delicate woven quality. I wanted this piece to have a meditative quality. The blues, greens and yellow are subtle against the weaving reflections of the bull rush reflecting in the water.

Meant To Be •SOLD


We don't see Red Starts around here very often but when we do.. it is very exciting. I have painted this particular Red Start in the past and I wanted to paint him again. After coming across this barn wood red frame I knew the perfect subject to fill it. The background color is a subtle grey green which really sets off the richness of the frame. 

The title: Meant to Be - is about the frame and having the sense the we know where we are meant to be. This is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. cold press paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass to a final size of 7.5"x11".
