Papaya Still Here Still Life

 

10x10in. oil on canvas - available soon

A still life fruit from the instagram account Still Here Still Life. I bought their book a few years ago and they came with these Polaroid prints - one of them I fell in love with and had to do a study of my own. Check out their account for some really cool compositions!

West Fork Trail Study

Another Paint Coach Patreon tutorial study in the books! This one is a river/mountain landscape. I wanted to practice a tunnel river composition for a photo I have from Estes Park, CO, and the study has really helped.

Blue Hydrangeas Study

Another Paint Coach study in the books! This one is a still life of blue hydrangeas, an orange and some grapes. I wanted to practice grapes for my own fruit composition, and the study really helped.

Road Through Colorado

 

6x8in. oil on Ampersand Gessobord - not available

In October 2021 we took a trip to Phoenix, AZ. To get there, we drove across Nebraska, through Colorado Springs and ended up in a place called the Rio Grande National Forest. Our navigational system directed us to take the back roads, so to speak. In places like the desert at night with no lights around for miles it was absolutely terrifying, but in the Rio Grande National Forest, I was extremely thrilled to get lost on winding roads through the sea of aspen trees. I drove (and we were the only car around for what seemed like miles), which, of course in the place that we were, meant that I drove about 15 miles per hour and made my husband take plenty of photos from our rental car. I sorted through probably a hundred car photos and landed on the reference photo for the above painting. There was something about these trees that shouted at me "turn back! You're leaving your home!". It was on this road trip that I was confronted with the truth that one day we will live in Colorado. This painting is part of a series I am calling my "diary pages" - not for sale, but paintings that are snapshots of meaningful moments in my life. The first one was the Estes Park plein air painting from October of last year, a view of the mountainside from the deck of the cabin that I got married in. I have plenty of these diary paintings to create, so stay tuned! This painting is part of my personal collection.

Jenny Lake Study

 

14x11in. oil on canvas - available soon

Another Paint Coach Patreon study! I did a few Paint Coach tutorial studies in order to study for some plein air work when I went on my trip to Estes Park last fall, starting with this one! I loved scrubbing in various colors to make the lake.

Idle Twitch Screens

 

1080x1920pxl, oil on canvas paper - available soon

I created new idle Twitch screens following different times of the day! "Stream Starting Soon" is a sunrise, "Be Right Back" is midday, and "Thank You for Tuning In" is a sunset. I love these new screens and love seeing them in my VODs. Check them out in real time! Current streaming schedule is posted on my Twitch channel, linked here.

Help! I Can't Hold All of These Pumpkins!

"Why can't I hold all of these lemons?" Alternatively, "well, when life gives you lemons!"

I love composing still life compositions and adding humor and play to them. This lil dude (a wine holder) just can't hold all of his pumpkins. Poor guy.
