Small Treasures

I'm quite proud of this painting! I'm experimenting with a new texture for my backgrounds, and this is the result. It was inspired by my trips to the beach and searching so hard for seashells. The best treasure seems to be the "butterfly" like mini oyster shells that are still connected together, looking like a natural heart-shaped love note from the ocean!
Small Treasure is an original acrylic painting on gallery stretched canvas.

Winds of Change

Here's another of my Tranquil Earth series ladies! I've called this original acrylic painting "Winds of Change", and it's on 8x10 gallery wrapped canvas with the painting flowing around to the edges.

New to my shop are these 2 watercolor paintings! Each measures 7"x9" on 140 lb. watercolor paper, aaaaand - they are FOR SALE in my Etsy shop! The top piece was inspired by all of those romantically inclined birds that are swarming my backyard, proclaiming with abandon that YES! it's spring! It's called "Be Still My Heart", and features a captivated purple bird and his yellow lady love.
The second is called "Entwined", and features one of my signature ladies being slowly embraced by a flowering vine. I can't be happier that spring is finally arrived and had to express my joy here!
