The Art of Display

Salon Style
Create a collection. Group pieces together and tell a story. 
Make it your own.
Size Matters
A generously proportioned matt and frame will easily transform
a small work into a larger piece.

Big Impact
Hang art in a grid and create a bold, uniform look.

Understated
Tuck smaller pieces into a bookcase or lean them on shelf.
 Art need not hang on a wall. 

Mix It Up
Mix a variety of styles, textures, pattern and color.
Create an eclectic look.

Love Is Blind
You only need to love it. Art need not match your sofa.
Let your collection set your style apart.

Studio | Sneak Peek


Studio | my new migration painting
Here's a little sneak peek at my new, super large, 18 x 24 inch migration in blue! 
I hope to finish it early next week.
***
P.S. I've taken the plunge and joined Pinterest
The invitation has been sitting in my in box since February.
I don't know how I resisted for this long. Now I fear I'm completely addicted! 
Have a great weekend all!

Fungi

There's a fungus among us! A new painting in my shop today.
Found some lovely mushrooms by the side of the road and I was inspired.
I always seem to find ways to procrastinate when I'm working on a big painting.
I'm working on a super large 18 x 24 inch bird migration painting.
Perhaps a sneak peek tomorrow. I don't want to jinx it.

Hour of Birds

hour of birds
Some thing that fly there be, 
Birds, Hours, the Bumblebee, 
Of these no elegy.

Some things that stay there be, 
Grief, Hills, Eternity, 
Nor this behooveth me.

There are that resting, rise. 
Can I expound the skies? 
How still the riddle lies!

- Emily Dickinson

40

40
Today feels like any other day. Except for one thing: today I am forty.
Where did the time go?
