Forest Finale •SOLD

This painting has been in process since late October, when the trees were full of dancing color and I couldn't get enough of it. It lasts such a short time and is so amazing. I admit - I took about 1000 photos to reference for more paintings. I kept the birch in the foreground with hint of Maple, Oak, Pine and others represented with the variety of color. I wanted this piece to feel like your eyes were drifting through layers and layers of tree color. 

Forest Finale is an acrylic painting on stretched canvas. The edges are 1.75" thick and painted. The finished size is 36" x 24". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.

Minnesota Grown •SOLD

I have been eager to get back to working on larger canvases, after a busy summer. As I look out my window I can see little hints of autumn color turning the green leaves yellow. The summer colors still dance on the water and in the distance. These colors inspired this piece.

For Just a Moment *SOLD

 I confess, I sketched this painting out early this Summer and just - this week- got around to finishing it. I had the scene in my head as summer colors but the inspiration that is surrounding us of brilliant fall colors got to me AND as the layers built...the painting turned to fall. Do you see the little bird content to be in the tree? 

For Just a Moment is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. paper. It if professionally framed and matted with conservation glass. The final framed size is 20.75"x10.75". This painting is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729

Breathe Easy Autumn *SOLD

This piece is a commissioned painting for a couple living in Texas. They wanted a piece that reminded them of this area but complimented their Texas home. It was fun to see a photo of the space the painting was created for and helped me to envision the colors that would really thrive there.

I used a combination of layered brush work and palette knife for Breathe Easy Autumn. I was going for an expressionistic feel of light and color. The title is in reference to change in schedule. With retirement at hand, for this couple, I imagine they are breathing a little deeper - perhaps relaxing and planning adventures.

Breathe Easy Autumn is an original acrylic painting on stretched canvas with 1.5" thick stretcher bars, painted edges and cross braces. It will be going to it's new home down south soon.
