Lake Light Birch *SOLD

The birch tree painting bug struck in October. It is now February and I'm just finishing this piece. I don't remember a painting ever being on my easel this long. Lake Light Birch has many layers built up to give it the feel of early fall by the lake. I wanted it to feel warm and inviting like your cabin up north. 

Lake Light Birch is a 36"x24" acrylic painting on stretched canvas with 1.75" thick stretcher bars and painted edges. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729 

Sidekick *SOLD

I can't take credit for the inspiration for this painting. A friend of mine approached me, about a year ago, to paint this scene - based on a photo she had taken of her daughter and dog. The photo had a beautiful stillness about it which I wasn't sure I could do justice.

It took 10 months for the vision to set in my mind and once it did the sketching process was smooth. It took several layers to get the depth I was looking for. I am happy to say the owner of this piece was please with the final painting. This was a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press arches paper. Sold

 

Wellness •SOLD

 I was sitting in my Chiropractor's office, looking out at the snowy white winter scene when this lone plant was illuminated by the sun. I had to get my camera. I painted it less than a week later. I'm not sure what type of plant it is. The petals look like hydrangea but I don't think hydrangea has seeds like this. The lovely landscaping at Wellness Chiropractic seems to be a lot of native grasses - maybe it is a grass? Whatever it is - it inspired a painting and I thank it.

I named this pieces Wellness due to the fact that the inspiration lives at Wellness Chiropractic - a place of healing and harmony. This is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. rough texture arches cold press paper. The original is professionally framed with conservation glass. The final framed size is 25"x12". It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN
