Savoring Summer *SOLD

2018 is here and I'm feeling calmer and finding time to paint! What's better to paint on a -20 below week than a nice warm summer paddle-boarding scene?

I had a request for a paddle boarding painting. As with all commissioned paintings - I take suggestions and enjoy photo inspiration to go along with requests. With this piece the request was from a mother for a painting of her daughter. I enjoyed looking through photos of sunsets and a beautiful girl/young woman in her element on a SUP. Her dark curly hair and graceful lines were easy subjects to paint. 

Savoring Summer is a 20"x20" 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

Summer Sun SUP *SOLD

This tiny little 5" square painting was created by sketching in acrylic based ink and then overpainting with acrylic paint. I kept the colors limited to give it a block print feeling or old fashion illustration style.

For those of you who have tried stand up paddle boarding - you know how addicting and meditative the activity can be. By the time Spring comes back around we are craving the smooth water, long board and joy of paddling while looking into the clear water for signs of fish, turtles and other lake life. Summer Sun SUP is an ode to the wonderful sport of paddling. 

Summer Sun SUP is an original ink and acrylic painting on 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper. It is framed to 7" square and available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN for $45.00 | 218-547-3729
