Found It’s New Home

This one finally made its way to New York. 🤍 I painted this for Lauren, inspired by a place that holds a special memory for her. She sent me these pictures of it hanging in her bedroom, and it makes me so happy to see it there. It was definitely a painting that challenged me, but sometimes the pa

Perfect Spot For This

If you remember yesterday’s post, this little painting would have looked right at home over that antique secretary desk. So I had a little fun making a mockup. I think I really love how the rich wood, blue-and-white accents, and soft hydrangeas work together. It feels very much like my kind of hom

My World

A little glimpse of an older painting in our home. This antique desk has been with us for about 20 years. Paul’s parents gave it to us when we were newly married, and his dad refinished it for us. I love that this painting found its way onto it all these years later. There’s something I really lo

Baby Bella

Meet Lauren’s little heron. 🤍 My daughter saw my painting of Bella the heron and decided she needed one of her own. So I painted her this tiny 4×4 block. I wasn't sure I could fit a heron into four inches, but I think she made it. 😂 Lauren, I hope you love her. And apparently she do

First Heron Painting

So, last night when I finished the heron, Lauren came by and said “Oh, I want that” 😁. Warmed my heart. She actually doesn’t have a spot in her tiny NY apt, so I said I’d make her a small 3x3 block heron painting that she can set on her dresser. I’ll put this on the website in a bit but it’s 8x
