Work Before Play Makes for a Great Day •SOLD

This painting has been a fun one to work on. I would work on it outside - when I wanted to relax and imagine raking leaves in the fall with my sister. I imagined having a cup of coffee before layering up to work in the crisp air and thought about the refreshing feel of a morning of work before setting off to play. I tried to create a mood where you can imagine yourself in this scene - with your sister or good friend.

New Morning Paddle *SOLD

I wanted this piece to be about color, elegant blues and rich texture. My vision was for the kayakers to be visible but secondary - enjoying the elements - a small part of their big environment. It took many color combinations to achieve this vision.
