Oil , Acrylic and Watercolor Paintings
What I’m working on…
Little Buffalos.
I love painting these little buffalos in watercolor. I like to find a unique WNY area landscape and capture it in the shape of a buffalo.
What I’m working on…
Commissions.
This piece was commissioned for a wonderful, former student of mine. She hoped to take a little bit of home with her on her new academic adventures.
I love being able to work with someone to make something beautiful together.
What I’m Working on… Going Big
Typically when I paint I work in manageable sizes (9x12) or smaller. This is because I often like to start by painting plein air outside and then finish up in the studio. It’s very difficult to paint large paintings plein air so I find that it does not come to me naturally.
I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone with my latest painting. This painting, entitled “Low Sun on the Hollyhocks” is 24x30 inches. Feeling some success with a larger size has made me want to continue some work in this bigger format.
What I’m Working on… Nap Paintings
As mom of three it’s hard to find time to paint. Lately I’m regulated to the brief one to two hours of nap time. This challenge has provided me with a unique inspiration - creating with speed, while also creating something beautiful.
