Guess What I’ve Been Up To

Two photos of details of paintings, one with orange and dark blue, and one with mint green, white, orange, and star shaped glitter sit in frames overlapping, with leaves around the edges and the words: "Guess what I've been up to!" and "Painting!"

Yes, I’ve been busy painting, and I have a loooot more art to add for you to see! I hope you’re ready!

What are you hoping to see?

I’ve been adding the originals or the prints first, and waiting to post the other so you don’t get the same thing repeated immediately, but just let me know if you want to buy a print or the original of something and I’ll make it happen.

I love these wet paint photos!

White Flowers on “Sapphire” Abstract Impasto Painting

White Flowers on Sapphire Abstract Impasto Painting

My abstract impasto “Sapphire” painting, a square canvas with a circle of bright pink in the middle, radiating to purple, and surrounded by blue with white throughout. Each swipe of the palette knife has a few different colors in it. Bright, beautiful, and precious. Topped with some white flowers from a tree, perhaps crabapple flowers.
