Modern Scandinavian Songbird Garden *SOLD

It's been too long since I have created a piece for my Modern Scandinavian garden series. I thought it was time for a cheerful little piece. What could be more cheerful than a sweet song bird sitting on whimsical blooms with a swirly backdrop? 

I contrasted geometric and elongated shapes against over-exaggerated organic shapes and then topped it with vibrant color to give this little painting a sweet and happy tone.

Modern Scandinavian Songbird Garden is professionally framed in a delicate modeled frame with conservation glass. It is approximately 6"x12" and available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN for $115.00 |  218-547-3729

Shore Keeper *SOLD



While walking on my Grandmother's property, in northern Minnesota, I was pleased to discover a sweet grouping of grasses along the boarder of her harbor. With the cooler temperatures these grasses must have turned from green to yellow - creating a sweet and happy boarder to the lake. 

It didn't take me long to get to work on these flowing beauties. I had the color scheme in mind and started sketching. I felt a square 40"x40" canvas would work best for this piece. The final piece is meant to put the viewer at ease. It is a calm piece. Think of walking by the lake on a lovely autumn morning with a cup of coffee in hand and nothing but inspiration on your mind.

Shore Keeper is a 40"x40" acrylic painting on stretched canvas with 1.5" thick stretcher bars and painted edges. The last photo (shown above) is the photo I took for inspiration. Shore Keeper is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729
