“Winter Sunset Abstract,” Custom Commissioned Painting

Another customer sent me a photo of her custom commissioned painting on the wall in her house, and this is one I haven’t shared here before. Winter Sunset Abstract is a pastel on matboard, which I use sometimes for larger paintings. This painting is 24″ x 32″, and with an ice blue mat it’s 32″ […]

Sold Original, “Sunday Morning,” and That Exhibit

  You may have noticed one of the paintings I shared in my last Artist’s Life post, “Sunday Morning,” a sold original. The woman who purchased it sent this photo of it on the wall and it looks like a catalog photo, it matched everything so well. Plus I’ve been hanging art in all subject […]

Flowery Garden Flags Anticipating Spring

My early spring garden is full of potential, but not much color. So before things sprout and grow and bloom I love to look out and see my flowery garden flags. I chose four pieces of artwork rich with color and detail and added a message to each one that celebrates your garden. About my […]

February Nature Desktop Calendar: Winter Sunset, After Rothko

It’s actually the sunset reflected on the eastern horizon, but I guess it could be the western sky as well. It’s from memory, not from life or from a photo, but it’s something I visualized when I’d looked at the horizon at sunset out my back window, a clear cold cloudless sky and deep shadow […]

Two Cat Paintings Accepted into an Exhibit

  No time limit on when the art was done was listed, and the art did not have to be for sale, so I decided to enter my two most recent cat-in-winter-sun paintings, “Chocolate Bath” from 2017 and “Winter Afternoon Nap” from 2018. And both were accepted! Read more about this exhibit on The Creative […]
