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

Dock-sitter *SOLD

Some of my favorite things are represented in this simple watercolor. I contemplated painting the woman fishing and then decided she would be content to dip her toes in the water and watch the incoming boat. Perhaps the boat is picking her up to go fishing? I wanted the dock to feel like a classic wood dock with solar lanterns above. I also wanted the woman to look timeless, elegant - a classic beauty. 

Dock-sitter is an 11"x14" painting on 140 lb. watercolor paper. I used graphite and payne's gray watercolor for this piece. It is framed in a simple 16"x20" black wood frame with off-white mat board. Dock-sitter is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN  | 218-547-3729
