Solar Lanterns & Barn-Wood Backdrop *SOLD

Light and texture - circles and wood grain - these lines and colors have been going through my mind. I thought watercolor would work best for my vision but I wanted this piece to be large - a centerpiece. My vision also include the space I envision this piece hanging. A dining room with dark walls, a large slab wood table and minimal decor is where I picture this piece thriving. I kept the piece light so it would hold it's place on a dark wall. 

Solar Lanterns & Barn-Wood Backdrop is a watercolor painting on watercolor primed canvas. I used the Golden watercolor ground to give the piece a plaster feel under the watercolor. This piece is 36"x36" with 1.65" thick stretcher bars, cross braces and painted edges. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729

Dock-sitter *SOLD

Some of my favorite things are represented in this simple watercolor. I contemplated painting the woman fishing and then decided she would be content to dip her toes in the water and watch the incoming boat. Perhaps the boat is picking her up to go fishing? I wanted the dock to feel like a classic wood dock with solar lanterns above. I also wanted the woman to look timeless, elegant - a classic beauty. 

Dock-sitter is an 11"x14" painting on 140 lb. watercolor paper. I used graphite and payne's gray watercolor for this piece. It is framed in a simple 16"x20" black wood frame with off-white mat board. Dock-sitter is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729
