Tree Drummer *SOLD

The name -Woodpecker- just doesn't do these beautiful creatures justice. Then there is the Hairy Woodpecker. Poor thing to carry such an unfortunate name for an intricate and lovely bird. I have a weakness for all varieties of Woodpeckers. The row and swoop style of flight makes flying look like so much fun. This is my Ode to the beautiful woodpecker - the wind dancer and tree drummer of the woods.

Tree Drummer is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass to a final size of 15.75"x10.25". This painting is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729

Modern Scandinavian Fireweed Fields *SOLD

I was in the mood for a bit of color and nothing satisfies that like painting a piece for my Modern Scandinavian series. Fireweed started out as my main focus with this piece but I feel like the dandelions took over....like they tend to do.

Modern Scandinavian Fireweed Fields is a 30"x40" acrylic painting on stretched canvas with 1.5" thick stretcher bars and painted edges. It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN | 218-547-3729

Modern Scandinavian Garden - Woodpecker's Perch *SOLD

It's hard to pick a favorite bird in northern Minnesota since we have such a wonderful variety  of  tweeting, whistling, chirping, singing sweet birds. I do have a weakness for woodpecker birds from the downy woodpecker to the pileated woodpecker. Their fly-fly-swoop-fly motion looks like so much fun. I don't know how I'd feel about banging my head against a tree all day but the flying style I could defiantly get used to.

Using my Modern Scandinavian Garden style - I created this whimsical watercolor in honor of the sweet swooping woodpecker. Modern Scandinavian Garden - Woodpecker's Perch is 6"x16" before being framed. It is $99.00 unframed - I will post the final price after being framed in the next couple of days.

Spin, Glide and Fly *sold

The flight style of a woodpecker is so cheerful and lively. I can't help but love the little beacons of happiness. This 11 x 14 painting is acrylic on a linen stretched canvas. The color is vibrant and I used loose lines to reflect the light hearted feel of this piece.

Available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN for $62.00
