Freeform •SOLD

 

I'm back to palette knife painting with this piece. I had a palette of colors in my mind before starting this piece. I wanted it to be about color and movement first and about the sailboats second. I feel like the sailboats took center stage after the red made an appearance ...and I'm okay with this. I hope you feel the inspiration a warm summer day on the water brings with this piece. 

Freeform is acrylic on stretched canvas. This piece is 12"x36" with painted edges. Freeform is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. | 218-547-3729

Grounding •SOLD

 My intention, with this painting, is to center the viewer and remind you how grounding trees, water, sunshine and fresh air are to the soul. I used acrylic applied with palette knives to allow the colors to have ridges and movement. I hope you can feel the sun on the lake and it warms your thoughts and balances your mood. 

Grounding is an acrylic painting on stretched deep edge canvas with cross braces and painted edges. The size is 30"x40". This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. | 218-547-3729.

Embrace the Day •SOLD

 Embrace the Day _ is the latest in my Walker, Minnesota painting series. I had this vision, on a warm, blue sky, no wind day, late last summer. Part of the joy of living in this area is the anticipation of getting out on the water. When your days work is done and you find a little space to get outside and feel the water, sun and hear the birds call - something in you calms, balances and resets. This piece is about the moment you find your space.

Embrace the Day is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. hot press paper. It is professionally framed with conservation glass. Painted area is 18" square. Overall framed painting size is 28" square. The original is available for sale at Peculiar Painter  | 218-547-3729

8" prints on powder coated steel with hanging brackets are also available for $42.00. I hope to have 12" prints on paper available this summer. Cards and apparel will also be available soon.

A Fine Day for Fishing *SOLD

I have painted girls or women fishing in the past but more recently my fishing paintings have been of men. I was asked to correct this disproportionate ratio of men to women fishing. There are indeed - a lot of women fisher-people in the world. I count myself among these women although I have to admit that I do not clean my own fish. I am thankful to have a husband, brother, brother in laws, dad and even my Mom to clean my fish. 

I got side-tracked there. So - this painting is based on a young woman who was fishing off of a boat near our house last summer. She had a nice easy going attitude and seemed to be enjoying the fishing and atmosphere on the lake. 

A Fine Day for Fishing is an acrylic based ink painting on 350 lb. mixed media paper. This piece is professionally framed with conservation glass to a final size of 10.5"x14". It is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. | 218-547-3729
