Medium: Oil Pastel Painting

Notes: After I created this original Curious Ducklings oil pastel painting, I received a commission to paint another one.

The light spirit and bright colors are warming and friendly, so I’ve added it to my collection of art prints available for purchase.

Please note, the size of this painting makes for an odd sized print. I will print based on width, the height will require special matting and framing (but it’s worth it!)

Curious Ducklings

Medium: India Ink Painting

Notes: This pickerel frog is sitting among a bunch of bright yellow mushrooms. The contrast between the green and gold made me want to capture this photograph as a painting.

Wildlife Painting : Pickerel Frog

Medium: Oil Pastel Painting

Notes: The One. I’ve known so many who have struggled with conception. This piece represents to me that there is one that is meant to be, and the timing of his/her arrival is not under our control.

Fertility Painting : The One

Medium: Oil Pastel

Notes: This painting was fun to imagine and compose. I combined the Earth’s horizon with a photograph I took of my daughter, peeling away the galaxy to watch over us. It has been a favorite painting from my portfolio since it’s creation.

Dog Portrait : Sweetie

Medium: India Ink Painting

Notes: Custom Dog Portrait of a beautiful fluffy white Bichon Frise named Max in a pop art style pose. I love painting pets when they’re in a pose that looks up to their owners, it says so much about how they love their people!
