Blue and Yellow

For those of you whose ideal summer day is paddling calm waters as the sun is setting - this painting is for you. I found this vintage frame and felt summer days in it. I wanted to create a piece that felt current but matched the vintage feel of the frame. If you look close you will see the canoe with a pair paddling toward the sunset. 

Blue and Yellow is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. arches paper. The vintage frame was professionally finished with white mat and non-glare glass. The final framed piece is a perfectly odd size of 13"x21". This painting is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN for $415.00 | 218- 547-3729 

 

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

Finch & Spires *SOLD

I picture this painting hanging above a blue velvet couch with Navajo accent pillows and natural wood furniture. Oh....and perhaps an ornate hooked rug with pops of ivory - is that too specific? I know it will take a specific space for this painting to thrive. I used a subtle color palette to relax the movement in the lines. I wanted it to be soothing and a bit edgy. The Finch adds a pop of color to compliment the deep turquoise, grey and burnt sienna. I wanted the finch to be observing - at home in his environment.

Finch & Spires is a 2' x 4' acrylic painting on stretched canvas with 1.5" thick stretcher bars and painted edges. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN for $860.00 | 218-547-3729
