I planted eucalyptus this summer and it added a whole new dimension to my little flower arrangements. The little curved sprigs have a whimsical quality that is so cheerful. This piece was inspired by one of these little bouquets. 

Modern Scandinavian Garden Greens is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 287 lb. paper. It is professionally framed to a final size of 8.5"x17.5". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN | 218-547-3729

Modern Scandinavian Garden - Nuthatch view *SOLD

This narrow little painting is part of my Modern Scandinavian Garden - watercolor series. This, as well as some of my current pieces, was inspired by eucalyptus, whimsical shapes and a sweet lil Nuthatch. I enjoy how Nuthatch birds like to sit upside down - their view of the world must include a lot of blue sky and sunshine! 

I'll have the framed size when I pick this piece up from the framer. The artwork size is 3.5" x 14". Modern Scandinavian Garden - Nuthatch View is a watercolor painting on 140 lb. watercolor paper. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN for $95.00 - framed  | 218-547-3729

Red Earth & Indigo - Rise and Shine *SOLD


I painted Red Earth & Indigo - Rise and Shine using a limited palette of two colors. My focus - in this painting - was a bold but calm piece that focused on the movement of the Eucalyptus and played off of the exotic shape of the spider mum. I was picturing this piece hanging in a home with light colored or white walls and minimal wood furnishings - a Modern Scandinavian home.

The process of painting this piece was fun - from picking out the models at our local florist, sketching it out with graphite and finally painting with water-based ink. The final piece was completed by having it professionally framed in a subtle wood frame that has a distressed leather feel and beige mat.

Red Earth & Indigo - Rise and Shine is water-based ink on 140 lb. watercolor paper. Framed size is 12" x 28". This painting is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. for $345.00 | 218-547-3729
