Today I was thinking about the first textured flor

Today I was thinking about the first textured florals I ever painted in spring of 2018. I bought palette knives and oil paint for the first time on the same day I painted these. I’m still amazed that they turned out beautifully. I brought them to a family event and exchanged them for help to cover the cost to participate in an art festival.
Since I’m getting back in to textured florals I’m using these colors as inspiration for more pieces 💕🌸🌿.

Since my usual art festivals are canceled this yea

Since my usual art festivals are canceled this year I decided to go through my festival boxes and get organized for next year. I was surprised to find prints of a painting from 2018!
This painting was my first attempt at realism 🌿 and first time I noticed progress in my work.
I’ve never made prints of this piece available online until now 🌿💕
Only 9 left! My shop link is in my bio.

I hope everyone is having a great start to the week!

🍂”Nature’s first green is gold,
🌛Her hardest hue to hold.
🍁Her early leaf’s a flower;
🍯But only so an hour.
☀️Then leaf subsides to leaf.
🍂So Eden sank to grief,
🌼So dawn goes down to day.
🍁Nothing gold can stay.”

**Print update: I wasn’t happy with my attempts to digitize the ghost paintings so they’re getting professionally done 👏. I’ll be SO happy to match quality scans with quality prints this time around. No word yet on the prints I ordered from Giclee Today 😣. Hoping all is well with them.
Thanks for your patience with prints. Your support means so much! ❤️

I love to reference classic art styles with modern elements and fashion.

Can you guess what art style this painting is referencing? Hint: it originated in Paris 🌷.

Snapped a picture of my color palette for the next

Snapped a picture of my color palette for the next impasto floral! I love the way it turned out and can’t wait to post it.
🌼🎃🌿🕯
Commissions officially open today! If you’re thinking about gifting a commission this holiday season I’ll need details and the first payment by November 1st! 💌 Dm or email me for more info.
I’m still accepting commissions after November 1st, but I cannot not guarantee shipping before the end of the year. Oil paintings can take weeks/months to dry so keep that in mind when thinking about gifting paintings ☺️.
I hope everyone is having a good week so far!

I’m finally getting back to painting pieces larg

I’m finally getting back to painting pieces larger than 8x10. I have a back log of ideas and amazing people I want to use as references. I haven’t forgotten and it’s going to take some time for me to catch up.

That said, I can’t jump in without getting myself back in the mindset of 60-80+ hour paintings. So here’s the beginning of what I’ve been up to.

An agitation of the air,
A perturbation of the light
Admonished me the unloved year
Would turn on its hinge that night...

The full poem:

An agitation of the air,
A perturbation of the light
Admonished me the unloved year
Would turn on its hinge that night.

I stood in the disenchanted field
Amid the stubble and the stones,
Amazed, while a small worm lisped to me
The song of my marrow-bones.

Blue poured into summer blue,
A hawk broke from his cloudless tower,
The roof of the silo blazed, and I knew
That part of my life was over.

Already the iron door of the north
Clangs open: birds, leaves, snows
Order their populations forth,
And a cruel wind blows.
