Slalom Summers - *SOLD

Slalom Summers is a commissioned piece. One of my favorite customers, at my gallery Peculiar Painter, commented on my painting titled Lean into it saying, "I want this painting but of a woman in a bikini and she should be leaning into it the spray more, like my daughter does." She told me about her daughter's beautiful and skillful waterskiing and later brought me a photo of her skiing. She is indeed a graceful, strong and beautiful skier. We decided on a size which was a little smaller than my first painting. The final piece is 36" x 36" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. This was a lot of fun to paint. I enjoy working with a vision someone has for a piece. This one required many many layers and I am happy with the final piece. In fact...I'm not sure I want to let it go.

Path to the Sunnyside *sold

This tiny little painting makes me smile. It is based on a road that leads to my favorite pottery studio. The road was once lined by huge cedar trees. The summer of 2007 brought a big wind storm which took down some of these beauties but I took a photo before the storm and this painting is my interpretation of that bright little road that leads up to Sunnyside Pottery.

Path to the Sunnyside is a small 5" x 5" acrylic painting on a 2" thick stretched canvas.

Winter Berries *sold

As we move into the colder months I am noticing little red berries appearing to decorate the woods. Nature loves to decorate from season to season.

Dappled Light *sold

I painted this little 9"x12" acrylic painting while on vacation in Montana. The weather was a perfect sunny 65 degrees, the mountains were inviting and the energy was just right to paint a happy little colorful piece.

Symphony of Trees *sold

This 26" x 36" impressionist painting is the sister painting to "Rise and Shine" which I finished 2 weeks ago.  Symphony of Trees is a vertical format painting with more cool reds to contrast the deep yellows. This grouping of trees was inspired by a gorgeous fall hike out at Shingobee forest in Walker, Minnesota.

Symphony of Trees is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, Minnesota 

Sweet Bittersweet - *SOLD

This little tiny bittersweet painting is only 5" x 7" but it makes a big statement with it's bold bright colors.

Available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, Minnesota. $36.00

A little bit of Bittersweet *sold

I warned you...I love to paint bittersweet. I painted this bittersweet piece with cooler greyish tones to really make the orange and red berries pop. The canvas size is a nice narrow 8" x 24" which makes it perfect for a narrow entryway or side wall that needs a little color.
