Good Days - series 1 & 2 •SOLD




 It was an exciting day around our house, a few years ago, when my nieces bought new kayaks. I photographed them on the water as they tested out their kayaks. It was a sunny spring day and those photos have given me plenty of painting inspiration. For those of you who love the movement of kayaking and open water - I hope you connect with these. 

Good Days - series 1(top photo) & 2(bottom photo) are brushed acrylic ink on 140 lb. hot press paper. They are double matted and framed with conservation glass. I did modify the matting by painting them an off white tone which gives the pieces a playful but less polished feel. I suggest seeing them in person to see how you feel about them. Good Days series 1 is framed to a final size of 11.75"x8.75". Good Days series 2 is framed to a final size of 11.5"x9.5".

New Morning Paddle *SOLD




I wanted this piece to be about color, elegant blues and rich texture. My vision was for the kayakers to be visible but secondary - enjoying the elements - a small part of their big environment. It took many color combinations to achieve this vision. 

New Morning Paddle is a 30"x40" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. It is custom framed in a beautiful mahogany frame by Stanley Townsdin woodworking. Final size is 31.25"x41.25". This piece will be available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN | 218-547-3729
