October Light - Garden series #6 •SOLD

 I've had a vision for the next painting in the garden series. The perfect opportunity to take inspiration photos arrived on a beautiful October day. A local friend has a garden in the perfect setting. She also has dogs and chickens running around the property. I knew her earthy style, athletic form and beautiful yard would be the perfect setting for this painting. Thankfully she was willing to humor me and hold one of her chickens at the entrance to her garden. I imagine many hours have been spent here, working the dirt, growing goodness and nurturing the soul. I hope you connect with this feeling of October light and harvest time. 

October Light is a 15" square brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. cold press arches paper. I sold this painting unframed so there is not a finished photo. I do have 8" prints on steel available. The print is shown in the bottom photo. 8" prints on powder coated steel are available at Peculiar Painter for $42. | 218-547-3729

Silver and Gold

My first painting of 2025 is complete. One of my favorite days of 2024 included a stop at a golden beach on a hot summer evening. As my son played in the water I noticed a paddle-boarder enjoying a smooth paddle as the light faded. As she got closer, the woman that I thought was young, now appeared to be a silver haired and fit woman in her retirement years. She beached her board and went for a refreshing swim. It was obvious that she was savoring the day. As she paddled off into the distance I found I was filled with inspiration. 

I wish us all a healthy and prosperous new year filled with plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Here is to 2025 - Cheers!
