West Wind & White Caps *SOLD






Think of a stretch of hot summer days with no wind. You soak up the sun, play on the water and take it all in...and then...the wind shifts and the temperature drops. The cool air brings a welcome change. You get to layer up and enjoy some bug free days and savor a hot cup of coffee before returning to the steamy summer days once again. That is what this piece is about - the relief the weather brings. 

West Wind & White Caps is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press paper. It is framed with conservation glass to a final size of 11"x13" in a deep 1.5" thick maple frame. This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729

Balance *SOLD



 The Great Blue Heron appears out of nowhere when you least expect him. Nothing else moves like this graceful creatures. They have a mythical quality about them that fascinates me. 

I have been photographing the Heron that visits us regularly but never quite captured the pose I wanted to paint. One afternoon, when my husband was working from home, he captured a photo of the heron at the end of a dock - in the exact pose I wanted to paint!

Balance is an acrylic based ink painting on 140 lb. hot press paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass and a beautiful - wood base - metallic finish frame that compliments it perfectly. Framing is by Heritage Framing in Walker, MN. The final framed size is about 15"x24" (I will enter exact measurements soon.) This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729

The Wild Ones *SOLD



 It has been some time since I have worked on wood panel and I forgot how fun a smooth wood surface is to paint on. This piece was inspired by the grasses, wheat and wild "things" that add warmth to our scenery. I used only 5 colors on this piece in an attempt to add calm to the wild movement of the subject. 

The Wild Ones is a 6"x12" acrylic painting on 1/4" thick wood panel.
