(well, almost!)

October and November were a couple of crazy busy months for me in the studio, as I fielded requests from galleries for lots of new, smaller works in time for the holiday gift giving season. They’ve been so good to me, I couldn’t dare let anyone down!

The autumnal season has always been a favorite time of year for me, so I let the palette and feeling of Fall in the Pacific Northwest inspire and guide new LEMOLO  and ECHOES acrylics and watercolor paintings.

What began with more vibrant tones of early Fall, grew into more desaturated hues as the colors began to fade. Those late Fall colors have always spoken deeply to me, with their velvety, jeweled colors, less bright and brassy, more elegant and quiet.

 

painting- Land I Grew In, acrylic on canvas, 12×6, available at Lark & Key

painting- Ramble I, watercolor and cold wax on cradled wood panel, 14×11, available at Art & Light

painting- My Heart in Tow (detail), acrylic on canvas, 12×12, available at Elliott Fouts Gallery 

Despite being two different mediums and different series, these new works all feel like a cohesive collection and a time capsule of this wonderfully sparkly time of year!

If you’re in Greenville, Charlotte or Sacramento, I hope you’ll check out each gallery’s offerings in person or peruse my website for all the new beauties!
