Gilded - Northern Flicker with Peonies.

Original watercolor on 16” circle birch panel with poppy red trim.

Sights from a Maine garden in June, with peony & purple cranesbill. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again. There is nothing about ants I like - except seeing them help open up a peony, & being snacks for the birds.

This piece picks up the light even in a dark room. Gilded gold reflects, while poppy, colors, pattern & movement bring you in & invite you to stay.

There’s a Frida Kahlo quote I’ve always loved - “I paint flowers so they will not die.”

I actually gilded the edges of this 8” original ❍ in gold leaf - if that tells you how sacred, & holy I think these fragrant fluffy clouds of heaven are. Peony season comes & goes too fast!

There’s no scratch & sniff feature - but you can worship peonies year round with a gilded painting to commemorate their glory… as if flowers were a religion ;)

Original watercolor on 8” circle birch panel with a rich kelly green trim.

Loaded with iridescent sparkle - just like the birds themselves.

Every early spring a massive flock of grackles return to my neighborhood, one family always stays behind to nest.

Grackles are highly intelligent & are known to return to their past nests. Every March / early spring a massive flock comes to my backyard to drop off (lovingly nick named) Mr & Mrs Dread to their Maine nest in our trees. It’s a sight to be seen!!

They are said to remember & recognize people, I wonder what they’ve lovingly nick named us. 😆

They are excellent at pest 🪲 control, & I think it’s kind of cool they’ve claimed our home as a safe place to raise their babies - because they definitely take that roll seriously!

If you like weird sparky nature like me this one is:

Original watercolor on 8” circle birch panel with poppy marigold yellow trim.

From my experience raising caterpillars - the swallow tail variety are even more vivacious then the monarchs! I found 5 or 6 destroying a large pot of dill & when we decided to bring them inside to the butterfly tent they were way harder to keep up with.

One chrysalis overwintered & hatched in the middle of March! Which was pretty amazing.

This painting is bright little summer firework!
