Morning Song

 I should have saved all the stages of this painting. In my original sketch the woman was wearing shorts. The shorts didn't have the right mood so I gave her leggings. The leggings felt like they needed something....that's how the shirt around her waist came about. Alas, she felt like she got her morning workout in and was enjoying the happy endorphins of getting the morning started right as she enjoys the sunrise glow over the lake. 

Morning Song is a brushed acrylic ink painting on hot press watercolor paper. This painting is professionally framed with non-glare glass. The final framed size is 14.5" square. This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. for $455.00 | 218-547-3729

Forest Solstice Gathering •SOLD

 Sometimes, the critters in the area, just stare at me and tell me they would like their picture painted. That was the case with this mama deer. Well actually, she was looking at me with this expression, as her Fawn danced around her. She was unsure what the human, in her presence, was thinking about the excited baby. I thought her expression needed some birds adorning her. So - of course - this became a funny winter scene and my idea for a 2022 Christmas card. 

Forest Solstice Gathering is brushed acrylic ink on 350 lb. hot press paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass to a final size of 14"x16". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729

Setting Summer Sun *SOLD

 When approached to paint a scene of hanging laundry, similar to a piece I painted in the past, I imagined an evening summer scene. My last painting felt more like farm land and this one I wanted to feel like lake country. A classic cabin and lake shore, along with timeless clothing, give this piece a feeling of the past but it could easily be present day. I wanted this painting to feel calm - she is content to be where she is.

Setting Summer Sun is a 20"x16" brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press Arches paper. The original is sold. I will have prints and cards available this spring at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. | 218-547-3729

Christmas Morning NFS

I was inspired by my son for this little painting. After a beautiful snowfall he bundled up and headed for his sled. The morning felt peaceful and magical. I had to add birds and a snowman for some more fun. . . and of course the bunny that visits on occasion. A Christmas morning scene is not complete without a cozy cabin surrounded by flocked pines. 

Christmas Morning is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 187 lb. hot press paper. It is professionally framed to a final size of 10.75"x16.75" with conservation glass. My son decided he needed to have this one for his room. I will have prints and cards available soon | 218-547-3729

 

December Delivery *SOLD

 I wanted you to think of the quiet and calm the snow brings with this painting. The inspiration came while out walking near a neighborhood resort. I imagined the joy the colorful array of mailboxes brought to summer visitors as they visited their favorite place on the lake. I wanted those visitors to think of their cabin at the lake filled with quiet and the magic of the holidays.
