color palettes for your interior decorating

I was playing around with color palettes today and came up with this one for my recent birch painting.  Then it occured to me that this might be useful for clients.  A lot of times, folks are uncertain if a piece of mine will "go" in their room.  This might be a helpful tool!

If you are interested in a certain painting of mine--send me a message and I would be happy to put together a color palette for you.  I am going to write about some other services that I offer soon--stay tuned!

Available prints!


The prints are here! 
 
 
I printed the first run yesterday and got them all framed.  Here are a few photos of them hung on my porch.  They look cute all in a row, don't you think?
 
 
They are printed on canvas with archival inks and then sealed with a protective UV spray that protects them from moisture & sun.  They are framed in these simple, natural wood frames. Size of the prints are 8x8 inches. Price is $50 each. Message or email me if you'd like to purchase one.
 
I will eventually list them on my Etsy shop but in the meantime I am off to Andover Art in the Park and then getting the Happy Camper ready for her debut!

It's a great way to spend the afternoon--strolling around Central Park while enjoying the work of 70+ regional fine artists. After the show, you are within walking distance to the shops & restaurants of Andover for a bite to eat.


Find me in booth #41 (look for the giant, red poppy!)

I now offer prints!


New this show, I am offering prints for the first time. Folks have been asking for a while now and I'm finally ready to deliver. To start, I will have 8x8 inch prints on canvas using archival inks---they will be virtually indistinguishable from the originals. The prints will be framed in simple, contemporary wood frames.

YOUR input is requested!

By popular request, I am going to start offering some select prints of my work!

These will be prints on canvas using archival inks and will be virtually indistinguishable from the originals.  To start, I will be offering 8x8 inch size prints framed in a clean, contemporary frame.

I'd like to hear from you about which paintings you'd like to see offered as prints.  I'm going to start with 4 from my backyard chicken series, 4 landscapes & 4 florals.

Please leave a comment and tell me your favorite 4 chickens, landscapes & florals and why. If I've left a piece out that you think I should include, let me know!

Thank you!

Keene Art in the Park---in pictures


Ahhh, Keene! My hometown and home of my favorite show--Keene Art in the Park.  The weather was fine, the folks were friendly, and there was plenty of beautiful art from 80+ artists to admire and inspire.

Despite evidence to the contrary--I WAS actually there.  I guess my photographer (hubby) was off duty that weekend.


Wondering where I'll be next?  Check out my busy, busy fall line-up here.


You can find me next at Andover Art in the Park in Andover, MA on September 15th, booth #41.
