Symphony of Trees *sold

This 26" x 36" impressionist painting is the sister painting to "Rise and Shine" which I finished 2 weeks ago.  Symphony of Trees is a vertical format painting with more cool reds to contrast the deep yellows. This grouping of trees was inspired by a gorgeous fall hike out at Shingobee forest in Walker, Minnesota.

Symphony of Trees is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, Minnesota

This little tiny bittersweet painting is only 5" x 7" but it makes a big statement with it's bold bright colors.

Available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, Minnesota. $36.00

A little bit of Bittersweet *sold

I warned you...I love to paint bittersweet. I painted this bittersweet piece with cooler greyish tones to really make the orange and red berries pop. The canvas size is a nice narrow 8" x 24" which makes it perfect for a narrow entryway or side wall that needs a little color.
Available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, Minnesota. $150.00

Light-Footed *sold

I had some help naming this 8" x 24" painting. After completing it I asked "what does it make you feel?" The response was, "It makes me feel like a walk in the woods. I feel light footed like a good day out in the fall colors." And there we have the title "Light Footed". This piece is narrow with a big presence.

Available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, Minnesota for $145.00

Oak Tree Accessories *sold

This funny little 12" x 12" painting was inspired by a walk in the woods...as are many of my paintings. I was thinking about the changes a tree goes through during the seasons and about the adornments that call attention to a certain tree. The Oak tree has its distinct rounded leaves. When it comes to acorns... they just feel like an accessory. The Oak tree jewelry. So here we have the light and colorful Oak Tree Earrings.

This piece is 12" x 12" acrylic on canvas. Available at Peculiar Painter for $55.00
