Take to the Sky & Water *SOLD

 This painting is a commissioned piece. As with all commission requests, I take suggestion on size  and subject. For this one, the customer liked my palette knife sailboat paintings but wanted a float plane as the feature. She sent me float plane photos that she had taken and I used those for the plane model. I wanted the piece to feel calm and open. 

With commissions, I give the customer, first opportunity to buy the piece. If it is not what the person had in mind, I hang it in the store for sale. This way there is no pressure on the buyer or me. In this case, she loved it and purchased it. This always makes me happy.

Take to the Sky & Water is a 24"x30" acrylic painting on stretched canvas with painted edges. There is a lot of paint on this canvas. This piece is sold.

Reflection at the Headwaters •SOLD

 

If you live in Minnesota, you have probably made a trip to Itasca State Park, to experience the Headwaters of the Mississippi. Some of us, have made this voyage many times. The history and awe of standing at the Headwaters of a major river is magnificent. My first time making this trip, didn't impact me a lot. I thought it was neat but it didn't move me like it does now. Just the fact that the path across the headwaters hasn't really changed since I was a kid and the fact that IT IS the Headwaters of the Mississippi - fills me with an energy that just feels good. 

I tried to capture the contemplation and reflection a teenage kid might feel - crossing the rocks at the headwaters for the first time. His thoughtful passing, with sandal in hand, as he is reminded where he stands and the journey this water will take. 

Reflection at the Headwaters is a brushed acrylic ink paining on 350 lb. hot press paper. It is professionally framed to a final size of 17.75"x12.25". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729
