EXPLORE MY COLLECTION OF Watercolor Art
Barns
I love old buildings, bridges and barns. The rusty tin, decaying structure, faded wood and broken bricks are fun and challenging for me. Some of these originals are still available. All barns are watercolor, framed with mat board and mounted on foam core board. They are 11 x 14 inches in size and will fit into a standard 11 x 14 frame. Prints are not available.
Wilderness Gardens
The Wilderness Garden series started as a gift of one painting for a friend. It evolved into five more, each depicting a different primary color and more insects and animals from my surroundings. From that I accepted a few commissions and added another purple edition, then one for Wisconsin and Alaska. The Alaskan print was donated to Anchorage Re:MADE, a non-profit organization in Alaska that promotes recycling and upcycles donated items to create something new. Upcycled items are sold and proceeds are used to support the local community as well as some global charities. All paintings, except the Wisconsin and Alaskan version, are available as prints directly through this site. The Alaskan print is available through Anchorage Re:MADE at https://www.anchorageremade.com
Vegetable Gardens
After completing my Wilderness Gardens series I became more interested in my own garden, noting the differences in leaves, flowers and how the actual vegetables began appearing and growing. Most of the paintings come from images of my very own plants. So do the weeds and flowers. I have discovered that although I love to watch my garden grow, I do not enjoy planting, weeding or watering but I do enjoy eating the fruits of my minimal labor. Many of the creatures depicted have been in my garden. All paintings are available as originals and prints. Someday I plan to create an additional set of six so that I will have enough to publish a gardening calendar. Stay tuned. Each original is 11 x 14 inches in size, framed in mat board, mounted on foam core board and will fit into a standard 11 x 14 frame. Prints are mailed without backing or framing.
Other Art
Each year I paint birds for my annual Christmas cards sent to family and friends. The original watercolors are available. I plan to have Christmas cards available at a later date printed from these originals. Original bird watercolors are framed with mat board and mounted on foam core board. The originals are 8 x 10 inches in size and will fit into a standard 8 x 10 frame.
