L.A. Burdick's

My show is all hung and looking lovely at the incredible L.A. Burdick's in Walpole, NH.

Many of my "big sky" paintings are on display and available for purchase through the restaurant. I encourage you to make the trip and have a meal, it is well worth it! And don't forget to pop over to the chocolate shop and try the BEST chocolate around. I kid you not.

wild poppies

Here's a sneak peek at a new poppy series I've been working on.

I've had a idea to create a "modular art" series for a while now and it is finally coming together.

Often, my customers have very specific spaces that they are trying to find a piece of wonderful art to fit. These Modular pieces will be coordinating series of paintings that can be hung in groupings vertically, horizontally, any which way. Modular art will be affordably priced so customers can purchase multiples for the perfect fit for their space.

I'll have a lot more on this soon...


In the meantime, here is my first modular series "wild poppies".

country road

Inspired by my recent travels north of the border, Country Road, is another in my big sky series. I'm loving working on these big canvases. The best part is painting in the sky with big, expressive brushwork...I actually had to switch to a house paintbrush on this one. My regular brushes are too small for this canvas. (time to order some supplies!)

This painting will be on display at L.A. Burdick's in Walpole, NH through August 28th.

after the rain

Continuing with my big sky series, I present "after the rain". That perfect moment after a sweet summer rain when the air smells like heaven and the sunlight breaks through to shine on the lupine covered meadows in the distance.

We sure could use a moment like that right now to break this crazy heat! Us northerners aren't used to this. Did I mention that I have air conditioning? Hope to see you Friday!
