Tara's Treasure – 4"X4" acrylic on masonite. My nephew's fiance took a pic which inspired this painting. This was much harder to paint than it looks - especially at this size. I was drawn to the the way the sun is hitting the water and the vignette sets the image off so nicely. Thanks to Tara for letting me use it! I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a near fatal drowning experience in 2013, I realized just how precious life is and I wondered w

liquid Sunset – 4"X4" acrylic on masonite. This painting is now available in my online store. This is a study of a painting I did a few years ago. Only that painting was WAY bigger! It's capturing the glory of the sun as it sets over the lake. One of my favourite sights. It was relatively easy to paint as a miniature and I quite enjoyed it. I may do more of these.

Passionate 4"X4" mixed media on masonite. Buy it in my online store. Had a great visit with my mother in-law and sisters in-law today. Love them to pieces! Felt moved to paint a pansy and so I did.

Here Comes the Sunflower 4"X4" acrylic on linen. Had a bad day today. Just didn't even feel like painting but it was the best thing for me to do. This painting is about hope and the glass half full. Peace and love to all! I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a near fatal drowning experience in 2013, I realized just how precious life is and I wondered why I was waiting to do what I loved most. I just wasn't finding the time. It took a while to co

Yellow Rose 4"X4" mixed media on linen. Visit the store on this site to purchase. Just click on "Store " in the menu above. I was away this weekend so could not post this till now. This is a painting of a yellow rose from the anniversary bouquet my hubby bought me. No the flower didn't last this long, but I took pics to use for reference. These colors are new for me. I usually paint alot of purple and reds but I am using up my old paint which is opening up my color pallette.

A Painting a Day #3 Lac la Nonne Sunset 4"X4" acrylics on linen I grew up at the lake as I spent every summer there in a lake-front cabin. The best part of the day was waking up to the morning sunrise as I peered out the window. The best part of the end of the day was the sun setting over the lake with the promise of tomorrow. #art #APAD #acrylics #painting #blog #APaintingaDay #water #lake #miniature #sunset #03 #landscape #notforsale
