Silver and Gold •SOLD

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!

Golden *SOLD

I can close my eyes and imagine a hot summer day with the sun beating down. I can picture the white of a clean streamlined boat -  sails filled and smoothly gliding across a beautiful deep lake. I can see bare feet and light layers and picture golden skin and big smiles. This is what I was thinking about as I painted _Golden.

Golden is a loose palette knife painting.  This 12"x12" acrylic painting is on stretched canvas with painted edges. I framed it in a smooth maple floater frame to give it a modern museum feel. Golden is available at the Artist Mall in Walker, MN  | 218-547-4781
