Good Days - series 1 & 2




 It was an exciting day around our house, a few years ago, when my nieces bought new kayaks. I photographed them on the water as they tested out their kayaks. It was a sunny spring day and those photos have given me plenty of painting inspiration. For those of you who love the movement of kayaking and open water - I hope you connect with these. 

Good Days - series 1(top photo) & 2(bottom photo) are brushed acrylic ink on 140 lb. hot press paper. They are double matted and framed with conservation glass. I did modify the matting by painting them an off white tone which gives the pieces a playful but less polished feel. I suggest seeing them in person to see how you feel about them. Good Days series 1 is framed to a final size of 11.75"x8.75". Good Days series 2 is framed to a final size of 11.5"x9.5". These are $165.00 each and available at Peculiar Painter | 218-547-3729

Mother Son Bond



Recently, I had someone ask me if I have painted a Mother and Son scene? I had to think about it and realized that I have not, which is odd since I am a Mother to a son and I love the strong bond we have. Since then, I have been visualizing what_Mother and Son scene would be fun to paint. I see fun examples of strong Mother and Son bonds all around me and look forward to painting more of these pairs! 

Mother Son Bond is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass. Final framed size is 12.5"x10.25". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. for $295.00 | 218-547-3729
