2 New Paintings in the "Dreaming of Darcy" Series

Please welcome Mary and Lucy!
Mary is sitting in a buttery yellow gown on an 8x10 wonderfully textured and glazed gallery-wrapped canvas. Lucy is on a 5x7 canvas board surrounded by a mottled green background and lazily waving a delicate fan. Both are a part of my Jane Austen inspired series of paintings.

No two are alike; each pendant is hand-formed using a custom mix of colors I have created, then baked, sanded and buffed before I paint them by hand with professional quality acrylic paints. I then apply 2 coats of varnish to both sides. Each piece is signed with my initials in a lovely ladybug design on the back with the year as well. It’s topped with a split-ring, making it easy to string on a chain of your choice.
Each is an original and wearable piece of art! Looks great and is eye-catching with any outfit. String it on a plain black cord, a silver choker, or make it the centerpiece of your own creation…the options are unlimited! I even string them from my key chain and dangle them from mirrors and drapery rods around my home!

"Tranquil Earth - Embracing Age"

She has crows feet at the corners of her eyes and white streaks through her hair, and yet she feels beautiful. She shows it plainly in her serene expression, in how she lifts her face to the sky. Daisies, the symbol of purity, adorn her hair.

Painted with acrylics on 8x10 canvas board, this newest addition to the "Tranquil Earth" series is meant to show the beauty in gaining years and wisdom, while still keeping our inner purity.
