I know it is still March, but it’s the first day of Spring and I am exhaling all the winter heaviness. This painting is inspired by our grass that is still sleeping and mostly brown, but all the snow has melted. And those rain showers we have been getting instead of snow! And those flowers that will surely pop up soon. It’s here. We made it through another winter. Bring on the April showers and happy spring.

I know this week’s painting is a day early, but I need to sign off for the week. These last few weeks of pregnancy are really taking their toll on me. For more details, photos or to purchase this week’s painting–click here. High quality giclee prints are available in a variety of sizes of each week’s painting, too.  Breathe in some spring fresh air today and all weekend.

    Maybe it’s just me , but I think it would be helpful if you showed this item in a picture that showed it to scale, as 20×20 seems quite small. Either way, it is a beautiful painting! You are very talented!!

looking for inspiration? 

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
