Setting Summer Sun *SOLD



 When approached to paint a scene of hanging laundry, similar to a piece I painted in the past, I imagined an evening summer scene. My last painting felt more like farm land and this one I wanted to feel like lake country. A classic cabin and lake shore, along with timeless clothing, give this piece a feeling of the past but it could easily be present day. I wanted this painting to feel calm - she is content to be where she is.

Setting Summer Sun is a 20"x16" brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press Arches paper. The original is sold. I will have prints and cards available this spring at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. | 218-547-3729

Modern Scandinavian Eccentric Blooms •SOLD



 I went the opposite of my usual Modern Scandinavian garden series with this piece. I wanted the shapes to be dramatic and fun with little color to distract from the form. This piece is painted using only Paynes Grey and White with a little bit of sepia in the leaves. 

Modern Scandinavian Eccentric Blooms is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press arches paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass. Final framed size is 6.5"x19". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729

Turning Leaves •SOLD



My next two pieces started with the frame as inspiration. I have a hard time painting a piece to fit a frame unless it is a tall skinny frame. I wanted pieces that were simple in color but had movement and personality. 

Turning leaves is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press arches paper. It is framed to a final size of 6.5"x19". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN | 218-547-3729
