Simplistic Geranium •SOLD

My mind has been filled with images that need to be put to paint lately...which means later nights :)  I'm always amazed how resilient and intense the Geranium plant is - it comes back and says, "hello, I've missed you!" I wanted to simplify this painting to be about the round petals and color.

Simplistic Geranium is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. paper. This piece is framed with conservation glass to a final size of 15.75" square. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729

Winter Coat •SOLD

I know it's only August but the mood to paint a winter scene hit. Grey, grey green, yellow ochre, iron oxide and burnt umber contrast the white in this piece to give it a subtle but rich feeling. I used palette knives for most of the painting while also using small brushes for small details. I'm not quite ready for snow but the idea of it does feel me with inspiration. 

Winter Coat is an acrylic painting on deep edge stretched canvas with cross braces and painted edges. The size is 30"x40". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-379

Kingfisher's Post

 My paintings slow down a bit during the summer months. This one has been on my easel, beckoning me to finish it, while the model - my Kingfisher inspiration calls from her post. I photographed the finished painting on the dock boards, where the Kingfisher sits. The Kingfisher watched, from a distance, as I took the photos of the painting. I heard her chattering away - I hope she liked her painting. 

Kingfisher's Post - is an acrylic painting on stretched -deep edge canvas- with cross bars and painted edges. The size is 10"x30". This piece will be available soon at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. for $725.00
