Blue Deep *SOLD

 When I started this canvas I was picturing water singing with deep blues under a blue sky. I was going for an emotional connection with thick layers dancing off of each other. The more the piece developed the more I felt it needed context. Sometimes I just can't leave an abstract as an abstract and this is one of those times. I feel like the piece is still about the water but the pair canoeing help give it a nice flow. 

Blue Deep is acrylic on canvas with 1.5" thick stretcher bars and painted edges. The size is 24"x36". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729

Bossa Nova Begonia *SOLD

 Last summer, I had a hanging basket with a Bossa Nova Begonia in it. This gorgeous plant welcomed me everyday. The reds and lovely vines fascinated me. I just had to paint it. One day I am going to paint a large piece inspired by this beauty. I saved the bulbs and hope I get to plant them very soon

Campsite Comforts *SOLD (prints available)

 I have had the vision for this painting since 2017. Some friends came to visit years ago and they stayed at the Shores of Leech Lake - Campsite #1. It was a gorgeous and hot September evening when we visited their campsite. I was taking photos of the scenery when my husband wandered around look at the lake view. I pictured him holding a cup of coffee and relaxing. When I started to sketch out the scene I mentioned to my husband that it needed something more. He imagined a boy playing or fishing on the rocks and I said - of course! This is based on my family but I painted it in a way that - hopefully - lets you imagine your family - enjoying the lake and family time. 

Campsite comforts is an acrylic ink painting on 187 lb. mixed media paper. The painted area measures 14" square. The final framed piece measures 20.5" square. The frame is Italian made with a gritty texture. This piece is framed with conservation glass. The original is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN | 218-547-3729.
