Artist notes and details

Classic Flower Display – This is a really lovely painting! You’ve created a striking still life with a rich, classic feel. A few thoughts that stand out: Available for $200.00link

  • Color & Contrast: The flowers really pop against the dark vase and muted brown background. The bright blues, yellows, pinks, and reds give it great vibrancy.
  • Composition: The way the bouquet spreads upward and outward feels natural, and the fallen/drooping flowers at the bottom add realism and balance.
  • Texture: Your brushstrokes give the petals a layered, almost three-dimensional quality. I especially like the depth in the peonies and roses.
  • Background & Setting: The book and table add interest and grounding, keeping the arrangement from “floating.” It feels like a deliberate nod to classic still-life paintings. To make this painting yours, click HERE

Coming Home. This painting captures a poignant moment filled with both warmth and melancholy. The overcast sky and rain suggest a sense of introspection or transition, while the cozy cottage symbolizes comfort and home. The thatched roof and glowing windows create an inviting atmosphere, contrasting with the woman’s solitary journey away from it. The woman, holding a red umbrella, stands out against the muted colors of the scene, symbolizing resilience and perhaps a desire to embrace change despite the dreary weather. Her large dark suitcase hints at departure and the weight of her journey, suggesting she may be leaving behind something significant or entering into it. The crooked wooden fence and vibrant red flowers add a touch of life and color, representing the beauty that can exist even in difficult circumstances. The misty path lined with trees in the distance evokes a sense of mystery and the unknown, inviting viewers to ponder where the woman is headed and what lies ahead. The presence of another red umbrella in the distance may signify companionship or the idea that others share similar journeys, reinforcing themes of connection and the shared human experience. Overall, the painting beautifully balances the themes of departure, comfort, and the complexities of life’s transitions. This painting invites you into my subject’s world. Will she be welcomed home?

Mushroom Fantasy – This image is a vibrant, digital illustration that leans heavily into the fantasy and surrealism genres.

It feels like a scene pulled from a storybook like Alice in Wonderland, where the natural world is transformed into something dreamlike and impossible.

Journey to Edenstrae – This painting presents a fantastical landscape that blends architectural and natural elements in a harmonious, almost storybook composition. From an artist’s perspective, several aspects stand out:

Composition and Layout

The artist has created a strong sense of depth using overlapping elements and a curving pathway that guides the viewer’s eye from the foreground into the distance. The foreground begins with a cobbled path bordered by flowers, leading past a series of steps and structures, eventually drawing the eye toward the distant city-like crystalline towers. This creates a visual journey that feels immersive and narrative-driven, typical of fantasy or romantic realism art. Color choice is vibrant but balanced. The warm earthy tones of the stone architecture contrast pleasingly with the lush greens and bright blues of the environment. The slightly desaturated blue of the river and distant city provides a good atmospheric perspective, suggesting depth and distance. The pops of magenta and red flowers add liveliness and draw focus to the mid-ground areas. This piece succeeds in transporting the viewer. It feels like a peaceful, idealized world, lush, untouched, and full of ancient charm. The narrative potential is high: one might imagine this as the setting for a fantasy novel or a mythic tale. Contrast: The artist uses pops of warm colors, bright oranges, reds, and peach-toned flowers, to draw the eye across the canvas. The artist demonstrates a solid command of composition, atmosphere, and color harmony, inviting viewers to linger and explore. Based on my novel Journey to Edenstrae, this stunning 18×37-inch acrylic promises to enhance any room. Follow this link

Freedom on Ice – This painting beautifully captures the essence of winter joy through its vibrant colors and serene imagery.

Night and Day – This painting presents a striking duality between night and day, effectively using contrasting colors and imagery to explore themes of love, nature, and the passage of time.

Left Half (Night): The blue sky adorned with a moon and stars creates a serene and tranquil atmosphere, often associated with introspection and dreams. The pink blossomed tree symbolizes beauty and the ephemeral nature of life, suggesting a sense of romance and tenderness. The couple dressed in black under the tree may represent unity and intimacy, standing out against the softer colors of the night. The island setting adds an element of isolation, emphasizing their connection in a peaceful, quiet environment. Right Half (Day): In contrast, the orange sky and bright sun evoke feelings of warmth, energy, and vitality. The green tree with lush leaves symbolizes growth, life, and renewal, suggesting a more vibrant and active phase. The couple in black remains consistent with the left side, reinforcing the idea that their bond transcends the time of day. The daytime setting invites a sense of optimism and possibility, contrasting with the calmness of the night. Overall Composition: The division of the painting into two halves highlights the cyclical nature of life and love, suggesting that relationships endure through both tranquil and vibrant times. The use of similar elements (the couple and the trees) in both halves reinforces the idea of continuity and connection, while the contrasting colors and settings evoke different emotional responses. This juxtaposition invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of love and the beauty found in both quiet moments and lively experiences. The painting ultimately celebrates the duality of existence, illustrating how love can thrive in both the calm of night and the brightness of day. To make this painting yours, click HERE

Sunflowers in a Ceramic Vase – This is a warm, expressive still life with a clear emotional intent. The loose, painterly handling of the flowers contrasts nicely with the calmer geometry of the table and vase. It feels more interpretive than representational, which works well for a floral subject. The painting communicates joy, light, and movement rather than botanical precision.

The bouquet has a strong upward, radiating motion that keeps the eye circulating. Asymmetry is used well: the flowers spread organically rather than forming a rigid triangle. The table creates a stable base, grounding the energetic florals. The falling yellow petals add narrative and rhythm. The purple-lavender background complements the yellow flowers beautifully (near complementary scheme). Greens are lively and varied, avoiding flatness. The restrained palette keeps the painting cohesive. The painting feels optimistic and intimate, almost celebratory. The fallen petals suggest impermanence, which adds a quiet emotional layer beneath the cheerfulness. This contrast is subtle but effective.

Stained Glass Rose – depicts a vibrant stained-glass rose, rendered as if set into a traditional leaded window. At the center is a fully opened rose, its petals spiraling outward in layered arcs. Instead of naturalistic color, the petals are boldly segmented into jewel tones, crimson reds, golden yellows, sky blues, turquoise, and soft pinks, each section separated by dark lead that defines the stained-glass structure. The rose’s core is tightly coiled, drawing the eye inward, giving the composition a sense of motion and depth.

Surrounding the bloom are stylized green leaves, faceted into angular glass shapes, providing contrast and grounding the composition. The background is a mosaic of lavenders, purples, blush pinks, and warm yellows, arranged like fractured panes that radiate light and atmosphere rather than depict a literal setting.

Subtle vertical drips and texture suggest flowing light or melted color, evoking both sacred illumination and expressive modernity. The entire image is framed by a rectangular stained-glass border, reinforcing the impression of a window, something meant to be looked through as much as looked at.

Overall, the piece blends traditional ecclesiastical stained-glass aesthetics with contemporary expressionism. It feels symbolic rather than botanical, suggesting themes of beauty, sacrifice, renewal, or reverence, like a rose transformed into a luminous icon. This 12 x 12 inch original acrylic is offered at $145.00. To own this artistically pleasing piece, click this LINK
