Canoe for Two •SOLD



 

I confess that I sketched this scene out a long time ago and have been excited to paint it ever since. I finally carved out the time to sit down and enjoy painting this scene. I had happy thoughts of being on the water which, I believe, translated into a cheerful piece that a lot of people can relate to - living in Minnesota especially. 

Canoe for Two is an acrylic based ink painting on rough press 140 lb. arches paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass. Final size is 12"x14". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729

A Fine Day for Fishing *SOLD


I have painted girls or women fishing in the past but more recently my fishing paintings have been of men. I was asked to correct this disproportionate ratio of men to women fishing. There are indeed - a lot of women fisher-people in the world. I count myself among these women although I have to admit that I do not clean my own fish. I am thankful to have a husband, brother, brother in laws, dad and even my Mom to clean my fish. 

I got side-tracked there. So - this painting is based on a young woman who was fishing off of a boat near our house last summer. She had a nice easy going attitude and seemed to be enjoying the fishing and atmosphere on the lake. 

A Fine Day for Fishing is an acrylic based ink painting on 350 lb. mixed media paper. This piece is professionally framed with conservation glass to a final size of 10.5"x14". It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. | 218-547-3729

Modern Scandinavian Garden Red-Poles and Forsythia •SOLD





 Yellow, blue and Red-Poles where my inspiration for this piece. I was ready for a large scale Modern Scandinavian Garden painting and imagined exaggerated Forsythia branches. The Red-Poles have been visiting our feeder and made for cheerful little models. I asked our local florist if she could get Forsythia in and she was happy to look into it! This piece kept getting brighter and brighter and it just might be my favorite Modern Scandinavian Garden piece.

Modern Scandinavian Garden Red-Poles & Forsythia is a 36"x36" acrylic painting on stretched canvas with painted edges. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729
