Finally, a painting to share!

Today was the first day of school. Nobody cried (including me!). To celebrate, I promised myself I'd finish the painting I started, oh, four weeks ago. It's an Alaskan landscape, but I think clouds and sky are universal themes. I'm so happy to be back at the easel.

Because so many people have inquired about purchasing a piece before it is listed in the shop, I've decided to have some of my paintings available for pre-purchase. It allows me to sell them at a discount directly to you. Once the paintings are dry and ready to ship, I will remove the button and put them in my etsy shop. Just a little sneak peak buying opportunity, so you can reserve a piece right away!

Tallest to Shortest

Another painting from photos taken at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge. I loved how these trees seemed to be lining up for something.

Red Hen

This was a lot of fun to paint. I love how chickens can look both sassy and scared to death at the same time.

Hummer

I am having fun painting bird "portraits" this week. I plan on putting metal hanging loops on the back once they're dry so they can be hung as is. I took a week off from Unlaced postcards to recharge a bit, but will be back at it next week...although with jury duty looming, I can't make any promises!
