🌸🌙 "Nocturne in Blosdom" is complete and the 'Blossoms Across Time' series is finally whole.

Four paintings. Four skies. Four moments in light... from dawn's lavender grey to midday cerulean, crimson dusk and now charcoal midnight in full bloom.

This final piece was the one I dreamed about from the beginning: blooms against dark sky, illuminated by moon glow, a snarled trunk reaching up toward the light. Real bark, moss, lichen woven throughout.

Together these 4 botanical paintings tell the story of a buds journey through time. And they're coming to Bainbridge Island Art Festival June 6 & 7th! Hope to see you there! 🎨✨️

Which sky speaks to you? 👇

A question for April: if someone walked into your home and had to describe how it felt without referencing the furniture or the decor (just the feeling) what would you want them to say?

That answer has a lot to do with the work you choose for your walls. Art sets the emotional tone in a way that paint and furniture rarely can.

Would love to hear your answer in the comments. And if you are still working toward that feeling, "Osaka Ducks" might be worth a look.

Real bark. Real lichen. All Stevens County. 🌿

"Crimson Eventide" -- a 12x12" acrylic original where the forest literally became part of the painting.

Handpainted florals, deep crimson acrylic, and a diagonal bark trunk with real lichen that I gathered here at home in E. Washington. Golden sunset 🌇 glows underneath all.

3rd in my 'Blossoms Across Time' series. Available now as one-of a kind original in the Sanctuary Collection.

Earth Day is a good time to think about how we consume, and art is part of the conversation.

Investing in something made with care, designed to last, and tied to a specific practice is a great way to engage in mindful consumption. My work is made to last.

"Dancing Iris" is that kind of work. Happy Earth Day!
