From start to finish. It’s hard to put hours and days into a short set to watch but my customer might really enjoy seeing this in process. The piece is for a gal who grew up in our neighborhood who already has purchased pieces of watercolor from my daughter’s works of barns. This piece is in oil to match the antique frame she has for it. The barn is in her family’s past and I was honored to be able to reproduce this for her. Hope you enjoy it! #barn #rememberingthepast #farmlife #farm #farminglife #art #artist #oilpainting #antiqueframe
Celebrated 91 years with Ma!
Art is a way to express emotion. This set is an expression of freedom from the slavery of sin. The open bird cages and origami doves of peace being released into the air remind us of the freedom we received through Christ’s death and resurrection. So however you would like to interpret this piece I hope you enjoy it.
Been working on this project. Have a great start need to add background and fine details to her hair yet. Feeling accomplished after no work yesterday cause of pain in hands again. Made up for that today although the wind was really rocking the trailer. #portrait #oilpainting #oil #portraitpainting ##weddingportrait #art #artist #artwork #artforsale
Thanks to Jeanette for the inspiration of Clearwater Beach, Florida. Needed the warm sunshine today cause even though the calendar says spring it’s winter here in Wisconsin. The pain in my hands and feet were so bad I took a break from the painting to warm up in the gym’s sauna. Then turned up the heat in the house.
Another painting. This one was done without a reference photo or not on site, plein air. I did this painting from my memory. The place is real, it is at my mother’s house as I was picking grapes as my mother s was watching from her house she said, “You look like a picture out there.” So I thought I’d try to mimic that look with the sun low in the sky giving us long shadows. Mom recognized it immediately. #artist #art #painting #oilpainting #countrygirl #countrylife #harvest #harvesttime
