Freeform •SOLD

 

I'm back to palette knife painting with this piece. I had a palette of colors in my mind before starting this piece. I wanted it to be about color and movement first and about the sailboats second. I feel like the sailboats took center stage after the red made an appearance ...and I'm okay with this. I hope you feel the inspiration a warm summer day on the water brings with this piece. 

Freeform is acrylic on stretched canvas. This piece is 12"x36" with painted edges. Freeform is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. | 218-547-3729

Small Town Get-A-Way seri

I enjoy observing visitors coming to town to enjoy the small town charm. A coffee in hand is a must and flannel or cozy coats always adds to the environment. I know we sometimes ask too many questions about where you are from but it's fun to hear the stories that come with the happy people who visit the area from generation to generation. 

Small Town Get-a-Way series 1 is a small painting. I used brushed acrylic ink on 140 lb. cold press paper. This piece is framed to a final size of 6"x8". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. for $195.00 | 218-547-3729

May Days •SOLD

 

I confess, this painting started out as a winter scene. It was a serene monotone piece and was nearly finished when the monotone days of winter made me really want color. . . and then....I added more color and more color until it was a warm early spring day and I could hear the birds and the moving water. 

This is a palette knife painting which I use a lot of paint on. Because of the change in direction my paint got even thicker. There is a lot of paint on this piece. I recommend seeing it in person. Some will like the thick paint but it might not appeal to everyone. 

May Days is a 30" square acrylic painting on stretched canvas with painted edges. This painting is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. | 218-547-3729
