Winter Chickadee

I must be ready for winter - winter scenes have been really fun to paint lately. I have a file, on my computer, titled - birds and critters. I store my photos, from years past, here. Sometime I scan through it for inspiration. This Chickadee spoke to me. The grey colors and textures complement each other.

Savoring Light

 

I've had a vision for this painting.  I wanted to paint a girl who is lost in a good book while enjoying a beautiful lake setting. When the perfect summer evening arrived and my beautiful niece was visiting - she let me photographer her. - for inspiration. I've been excited to paint this piece ever since.

Market Day • SOLD

 When a visitor stopped by the shop, this summer, wearing a wonderful striped dress - I knew I had to paint her. I pictured her in a market scene. I couldn't decide between an art fair, farmers market or festival...so I combined some of my favorite things from all of these. We have textiles, tents, flowers and pottery displayed in this scene. I hope you feel the freshness of a fun outfit, new haircut and gathering of hand crafted goods with this piece.

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.

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.
