Orchestra of Reeds *SOLD

Orchestra of Reeds is similar to a piece I painted 2 years ago titled Shoreline Rhapsody. Something about the colors of the shoreline against the native grasses and their movement is so appealing to capture in paint. I couldn’t help adding a sweet little songbird that matched it’s environment. I believe this is a Sparrow of some sort. 

Orchestra of Reeds is a 10”x30” acrylic painting on stretched canvas with painted edges. Stretcher bars are 1.5” thick. This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN | 218-547-3729

December Delivery *SOLD

 I wanted you to think of the quiet and calm the snow brings with this painting. The inspiration came while out walking near a neighborhood resort. I imagined the joy the colorful array of mailboxes brought to summer visitors as they visited their favorite place on the lake. I wanted those visitors to think of their cabin at the lake filled with quiet and the magic of the holidays.

Large fine art cards of December Delivery are available for $4.25 each. I also have smaller glossy printed cards available in packs of 4 for $7.95. 

Modern Scandinavian Osteospermum Blooms *SOLD (prints on metal available)

 The Osteospermum flower is one I  discovered in the Spring of 2019. I bought a Osteospermum - it was white with a purple center. It loved my raised garden bed. It grew and bloomed in a round amazing ball of green. I loved it so much that when this spring arrived I searched for the same variety. During my search I came across a modified style of this bloom. It’s shape was so exaggerated and fun with the teardrop bloom ends. I decided I probably wouldn’t find this variety in norther Minnesota BUT 2 days after discovering it existed....I found it at our local greenhouse. I was giddy and bought orange, white and purple varieties. These blooms made me happy all summer.

This is the first of many Osteospermum paintings  I’m sure. It easily fits into my Modern Scandinavian Garden series with it’s already stylized shape.

Bull Rush & Wild Rice Passages *SOLD (prints available)

 While out fishing with my husband, late this summer, we came across a fisherman in a kayak. He knew his way around the wild rice and through the bull rush like he fished those waters often. As the sun started to set his neighbors, in their motor boats, would check on him and see how the fishing was. His presence amongst the reeds seemed as natural as a Heron fishing along the shoreline. As this fisherman paddled into the sunset I took a few photos. I was eager to get this scene in paint while it was fresh in my mind. I hope you can feel the natural flow of this peaceful human in nature.
