A Little Bit of Harmony II •SOLD



 I have had the inspiration for this painting for some time now. I photographed this fox a few winters ago. It sat patiently in the snow...it's eye on an unfortunate squirrel. I felt like he needed to be in a lush green environment with a bird on its head...just because his sly smile seemed to call for a bird on his head. 

A Little Bit of Harmony II - is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. cold press paper. This piece is professionally framed to a final size of 11.25"x9.25". The original is on hold for now. Cards are available. 

A Good Evening for Fishing - NFS



 This painting was inspired by my husband. He is always working on something BUT if you put the thought of fishing in his mind, it's fairly easy to persuade him to take a break. Just recently, I was walking by our garage and said, "Looks like a good evening for fishing." He looked up and said, "Do you think so?" The next thing I see is my tackle box and all 3 of our fishing rods in his hands as he heads to load up the boat. We didn't catch any keepers that night but it felt good to get out in the beautiful evening and enjoy the water. 

I don't think I can part with the original on this one but I do have cards for sale. . . in case you have a man in your life that can be persuaded to put down his projects and take you fishing! A Good Evening for Fishing is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. cold press paper. It is professionally framed to a final size of 12"x10"

Wings on Water • SOLD




 The Tree Swallows, that reside near our house, have inspired another painting...and probably more to come. The movement they make and the way the light shimmers on and through their wings, make painting them entertaining. 

Wings on Water is a brushed acrylic painting on 140 lb. cold press arches paper. This piece is framed, using conservation glass, to a final size of 15.75" square and is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729

Speed of Light •SOLD






It's possible that I spent hours and days sitting near the lake, panning my camera with Tree Swallows. They are fast acrobats with their aerial maneuvers. My original sketch of the piece had 3 birds in flight - eventually narrowing it down to one bird in flight with its near wing turned up. This piece is one that has to be seen in person to feel the movement. 

Speed of Light _ is an acrylic painting on stretched canvas with cross braces and painted edges. This piece is 36" square and  is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.
