Paintings With Soul

  A Prayer for Peace view or purchase her on my website   A Prayer for Peace, original acrylic on aluminum (will require framing without glass), 24”x24”, $1600 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . I cannot make up my mind as to whether I reserve this one for an exhibition (which means she’s not for sale) or if I try to find her a home. I’ve pondered this for about a week, going back and forth and decided to let the fates determine her future. A Prayer for Peace will be listed on my website and available for purchase until Sunday, March 16th at noon eastern. If she’s still mine at that point, I’ll pull her from the market and enter her in a juried event, which means she may not be available until mid-summer 2025. And if she does come home to me, her price will include my framing cost (right now she can be purchased without a frame). By the way, she is exquisite in person. There are small pockets across her s...

  NEW PAINTING Molytva (Ukranian for "Prayer") "Molytva (Ukranian for "Prayer")," 18"x24"x1", acrylic on cradled birch, with a sprouted sunflower seed painted on the right side edge. This painting may be offered at a future date with a small collection of similar pieces.   Reach out   with any questions and thanks so much for your interest in my artwork. This painting's process was very humbling. It surprises me every time, that when I am reverent at my easel, the profoundest sort of alchemy happens.   It's been a dark few weeks in our world, and I know many artists have been painting sunflowers for Ukraine. I just couldn't go there - I wanted to, but felt like it was akin to wearing a costume. So I found a way to create something meaningful that fit with my own visual language. I did add a sunflower in the form of a sprouted seed on the side of the panel, with a corner of her leaf wrapped to the front side. It is the only green ...

FINISHED!! "Namaste," a self portrait from my Dryad series of paintings, 24" x 30", acrylics on panel, not for sale (this one is heading to an exhibition). However, inquiries may come to me . Today has been a somber one for those Americans, myself included, who have found themselves with a President-elect who does not reflect their own core values. I've been reflecting quite a bit about the results, and while I cannot change them, I can show the world that my heart is not defined by anyone. That my tolerance and compassion is limitless. And that in a world fraught with anger, terror, and fright, I can usher in sublime beauty and contemplation through my paintings. My friends, going forward I invite you to pray/meditate/breathe for those suffering opression and tremendous heartache. Listen to understand, not to judge, and love wholeheartedly. We are each of us human and equally deserving of love and opportunity. Thanks for following along ...

Reproductions Available "Camargue Peace," 24" x 20", acrylics on panel, featuring a wild horse with a crown of blooms. This piece is $699, price includes complimentary shipping inside the US, and it will arrive wrapped in prayer. Inquiries may come  to me . SOLD (thank you so much!) I try to steer clear of politics and world events on my blog, but I can't anymore. It seems like every day our world becomes more divided, and humanity showers itself with additional pain. I had to pour myself into a painting done in response to the horrific tragedy in Nice, and spent 9 hours painting alla prima (wet on wet, none stop) today.  I've broken tradition and made prints available prior to the sale of the original, because I am hoping that adding this piece in whatever form to your personal collection will bring joy and peace to your life. We could all use some more of that, no? The Camargue Horse  is one of the oldest breeds in the world, and it ...
