Tranquil Earth Series reawakens with "Serenity"



My painting series entitled "Tranquil Earth", where I explore the beauty of the natural world and our connection to it, has been reawakened with "Serenity". Against a highly textured background of purples, whites, browns and yellows is a woman in a calming grey dress. She stands beneath a skeletal, pale tree, done in a soft white glaze, to show the slumbering depths of winter while the tree rests and waits for the promise of spring.
unfortunately this large painting (measuring 16"x20") is not for sale. However, I will be offering up prints of it shortly. If you are interested and would like to reserve a print, please contact me at christina@hoydendesigns.com.

****HOLIDAY DEADLINES!****

Why should only the Regency ladies get to dream of Mr.Darcy? The much loved hero of Jane Austen's famous novel Pride & Prejudice certainly appeals to women of any age and time period. And so here is a contemporary sister of those long-ago women, showing that Mr.Darcy's staying power is indeed strong!
Painted in acrylics on a 9"x12" gallery wrapped canvas, this young woman would make a lovely and elegant addition to any home!
Like the Dreaming of Darcy series but are looking for something a little more personal? Contact me and we'll discuss it! You can send me a picture and I'll model one of my lovely ladies after you or someone special in your life! You can reach me at christina@hoydendesigns.com
