Push Pole Traditions •SOLD



 There is a push pole on display at Peculiar Painter. People often question what the long pole is used for. This pole is used to skillfully guide a canoe through the wild rice. It is beautiful to witness a canoe swiftly move through the rice as the wild rice is harvested every fall. This scene is one I enjoyed observing on Steamboat Bay, Leech Lake in the Fall of 2024. 

Push Pole Traditions is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. Arches paper. This painting is professionally framed with conservation glass. The final framed size is 14.75"x8.25". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729

Golf Lessons •NFS



 I have had this scene in my mind since the moment I witnessed it. My husband, son and I headed to the driving range on a spring day. My son wanted to carry his own clubs but we could tell that they were heavy for him. Matt, my husband, lightly held the handle of the clubs to ease the weight. I thought that this simple gesture is what being a father is about.

I kept the original of Golf Lessons. 8" prints on powder coated steel are available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. for $42.00 | 218-547-3729

The View from Here I & II •SOLD




The View from Here I & II were commissioned pieces from a thoughtful husband to his wife. The criteria for the painting was pretty open and the photos that were sent, for inspiration, were just what I needed. I was so inspired that I painted 2 pieces and both pieces were purchased. I am told the surprise went over very well, which is always a relief to me. 

The View from Here I is an acrylic painting on stretched canvas. The View from Here II is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press paper. Both pieces are sold.
