Amazing August 12: After The Rain



After the Rain
24 x 24 inches
acrylic on canvas
$185




I painted this at the end of a rain storm.  I did spray the water to get some color flow, but then I leaned it against a tree and giant drops of water fell.  Big spots were left in the color.  I like it!  I hope you do, too!

And here is why I'm offering a body of work {almost} every day this month. . . 

As you may or may not know, the summer event that I was banking on {based on previous years' sales} to cover my expenses of this summer and early into the Fall was a bust.  {I did not even cover my costs.}  This has left me both super stressed and incredibly driven! 

Everyday during the month of August I will post a piece of art that I made this summer that I am offering for sale!

Here is how it works:
The first person who send me a FB message, text, or email and makes payment arrangements will be the proud owner of a new piece of original art.  Some will be small, and some will be quite larger.  The price range will be $12 - $220.  So when you see a piece that tugs at your heart, respond quickly!

There are so many ways my amazing creative support community can help:

1.  Buy art
2.  Share and comment on FB posts
3.  Share this info with people who you think would appreciate my art
4.  Schedule a painting party or trunk show for this Fall.
5.  Schedule a show of some of my artwork at your workplace, church, or community organization  {Almost any space can become a temporary gallery!)

Amazing August 6: Head Held High


Head Held High
8 x 10
acrylic on canvas
$70
(shipping for an additional fee)


The story behind the painting:

So I thought I had finished this one a couple weeks ago, but then I saw it when I was painting on Thursday.  It screamed to have a bit more added.  I listened.  It was only minor changes--a bit fuller bloom and blue in the stem.  What a difference those few strokes made!  It feels proud and regal now.

If it's calling to you, grab it now.

The story behind the painting:
Sam and I stopped in for a quick visit at Lakeside's Heritage Hall Museum.  It turned out to be much longer because he did a scavenger hunt.  I was a bit frustrated, but when I walked out I saw these amazing flowers to the side.  The inspiration for this pieces was born!
