Off To A New Home
Off it goes…
It’s one thing to buy articles of clothing online or to buy your favourite perfume, but it’s a whole other thing when looking at artwork, especially one-of-a-kind original art. Knowing my work connects with someone who hasn’t seen it in person is such a wonderful feeling, especially in such times where so many people are struggling. I am truly grateful.
Just Some Whimsy
I often photograph my art before sealing it to avoid any glare. I am told that when someone sees my work in real life, the colours appear much brighter and the texture is more pronounced. It’s hard to capture it all in a photograph. While I was sealing Wildflower Whimsy, I was reminded of how many times I had painted different flowers to get just the right ones I wanted to express with this piece. I was reminded that painting larger flowers for larger pieces is harder for me than when I am creating for smaller works, and I was reminded of how I wanted to convey the joy I was feeling in that moment.
This piece in real life is so darn cheerful, and it makes me smile every time I look at it. I can see it in many different styles of rooms, from an office space, perhaps a counseling office, or in an entryway. I could also look wonderful in a living room or even a child’s bedroom. SO many options to choose from.
Our True North Strong & Free
O’Canada, we have sung it since we were kids, but now is the time to show our Canadian pride. With this beautiful, colourful art print, you can always have a little piece of what being Canadian is all about in your home.
This print is available as a digital download, meaning you can download the image and print it off at any place that prints photos. It can also be purchased on various surfaces, like canvas, in a wide variety of sizes, through my Fine Art America site. All print art from Fine Art America is printed in their manufacturing site located in Ontario.
Textured Blooms Original Art
This pretty floral collage was a lot of fun to create. I love it when I get to tear up abstract work on paper and turn it into playful flowers. I love them as they come to life and their character shows through. Creating the character to bring each flower alive and how they are assembled creates even more whimsy.
As the flower was drying I saw the curl of the petals and decided not to stick it down fully because I loved how the curl gave it a bit more depth. The background is all made of torn paper, with a torn-up piece of painted canvas and drywall tape for texture.
This beautiful original 8x8 inch floral can stand on its own, much like in the photo or it can be hung on the wall. To purchase this original piece you can click here.
