Paintings With Soul

  Stardust view her on my website Stardust, original acrylic on flat panel, 18”x24”, $1000 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Recently I led my online students in an art journaling exercise centered on our being made of stardust. Clearly, that idea followed me to the easel, where this lovely showed up. Here’s the thing - this painting started out as a mistake. My concept of two horses looking off to the right was meant to include more sky and both horses in their entirety. I quickly realized that an 18x24 was not the right shape for this idea - so I scaled it up to a 24x36 panel (and  Earth and Moon happened). a few days later I grabbed the panel with the discarded sketch, intending to pop her into my paint-over pile, and was pulled in - she was not Earth and Moon, but she was significant in her own way. I couldn’t see what that was but I sensed it. Humoring my muse, I popped the panel on the easel and cr...

  Earth and Moon view her on my website Earth and Moon, original acrylic on flat panel, 24”x36”, private collection (thank you).   It seems fitting to close 2024 out with a painting that is about vastness. In a year that challenged me as a voracious creative and an often bumbling human, for my muse to then deliver a painting to my easel that reminds me how small I am is comforting. This piece is also about constants, those things we don’t even notice anymore because they always are. It’s a reminder to refocus on my breath and the everyday miracles that surround me. Talk about grounding! You are invited to view Earth and Moon  on my website . Next week I hope to set up prints for the paintings that have sold the last couple months (thank you to my generous and enthusiastic collectors!!). I’ll tuck a notice inside a newsletter once that is done. Meanwhile, wishing all of you a safe and joyous evening. Hoping you find a reset button somewhere in your own lives and we all wak...

  Poppy view her on my website Poppy, original acrylic on flat panel, 18”x24”, $1000 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . I am typing this newsletter from across my easel where I have an audience of a crabapple fox, a dahlia fox, a rose filled horse, and a horse exploding with dahlias. I have another large double equine piece I thought would be filled with climbing roses, but it seems she has other plans - nevertheless, she glows with a springlike green and shimmery pink. Meanwhile, the snow and ice outside are melting. It will be a bit before the above color is mirrored in the Michigan landscape, but I’m not letting that hold me back in the studio. You are invited to view Poppy  on my website, inside a room setting  and  up close . The link to purchase her is also there.  Let me know  if you would like a payment plan (30% non refundable deposit with the balance plus shipping paid in ful...

  As 2024 draws to a close, I am wrapping myself with all she cultivated and breathing gratitude for being able to share them through my art and actions.

  Canopy view her on my website Canopy, original acrylic on flat panel, 16”x20”, $850 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Winter hasn’t even officially begun here in Michigan, and I am already pining for the whisper of foliage. My lungs just don’t fill the same way in the colder months (prolly because taking a deep breath outside would freeze me to the core!). There’s something about being in the woods, feet buried in the soft mouldering ground, listening to the leaves, squirrels and birds gossip, while veils of green filter the light. The squirrels still have much to say and the birds are pretty succinct these days, but I miss the even keeled advice of the leaves. So this painting was an invitation to imagine myself on some of my favorite pathways in some of my favorite green spaces getting some well grounded advice and dirt on the chipmunks. Hang Canopy on your walls, and you get to wander the same trails wit...
