Stoic Neighbor •SOLD

 A few months ago, I was on a mission to find a porcupine in a tree. I did not find a porcupine....but I did find this beautiful creature. I felt its eyes before spotting her/him. Every encounter with an owl feels spiritual. I don't know if its their eyes, the way they fly or just their presence...whatever it is - I am drawn to them.

The Calm •SOLD

There is a frame shop in Wisconsin called Avenue Art. Since the first time I entered their doors it has been a favorite stop every time my family is in Appleton. I stock up on beautiful frames and enjoy visualizing what to paint to fit the frame. This rich blue frame asked me to paint a tree surrounded by complimentary sunset tones. ..so I did!
