Really feeling content working on these warm & lush blooms in the dead of winter. New body of work coming soon!
For Aftyn
I was recently contacted through Instagram to create a special painting for a gem of a follower. She sent me pictures of her space & wanted something "earthy/foresty." Though we haven't officially met, I knew that she grew up in Maine and I wanted to create something that had the essence of Maine's woods meets coast, to hang in her new home, New York.
Voila.
It's hard to believe that I shipped it Tuesday and it has already arived (by Thursday) at it's new home!

"It is the perfect addition to our house. The ferns remind me so much of my childhood, running through the woods without a care in the world. The subtle touch of the ocean warms my soul; it reminds me of my true home, Maine. The one constant place in my life. Seriously... I could sit here and stare at this painting all day and be happy. I love it ... ! It means so much to me."
Aftyn (beautiful name right?) you were a dream of a client, thank you so much for your support, compliments and recommendation.
Who has a bare wall that needs art?! I'd love to book another commission, I am ready when you are!
Latest Comission.
I recently got asked to create a painting for a friend featuring his three favorite 'critters' as he called them. Being a scuba diver, & a traveler, he has actually come face to face with each of them. A great white shark, a hammer head, & a tiger shark. He spoke of them so affectionately.
Scary predators are not my usual subject matter, but I seriously had so much fun making this painting.
2' x 3.5' Watercolor and milk paint on birch panel.
It was such a reward to see how happy & excited he was to with the finished product.
Have an idea you'd like to see visualized? I'm your girl!
