Love One Another

Love One Another.  A beautiful commandment and great words to live by.  It all comes down to this, and it makes for functional art. A bold, colorful reminder of how we should live every day.  The colors make it work for a child's room or the living room.  Vibrant liquid watercolor and a slightly textured paper.  Put it in a great frame and give it as a gift to any loved one.

Drink the Wild Air

Living in a beach community, I finally understand all these great ocean-related quotes.  There is something about it that you don't fully comprehend until you've stood on the shore and smelled the air and looked at this vast thing that is so much bigger than you are.  You feel large and small at the same time.  But mostly you feel a sense of life and a desire for freedom and dreamchasing and warm sunshine.  This loose watercolor with the Emerson quote captures it all.

This was a free giveaway I just did.  Lots of comments on this one.  Another great gift for Valentine's or birthdays or any occasion.  It can be a romantic gift or just one of friendship.  Original, bold and beautiful.  This one was an 8"x10" but I can create any size for that special gift.  The photos don't do justice to the quality of the color of my paintings.  I use a high end liquid watercolor that reads more like ink.  My favorite medium so far.

Simple and bold.  I love liquid watercolor.  Four hearts in a graphic style combined with the loose feel of watercolor and a beautiful quote about friendship.  It makes a great gift for that true friend, and a great focal point for any room.  Commissions welcome!  I can make your own version of this any size you want for a birthday, Valentines or any occasion gift.  Unique and original.  No chance they will have anything like it. 

Los Angeles Temple

I wanted to play with a pop art look for the Los Angeles temple, to incorporate a little of the LA feel.  I love color, as a scenic artist, and I love adding it to images that may not naturally have it.  I think it adds a little bit of a story--it tells about how you feel about a place than just reproducing what it looks like.  The bold colors and graphic squares suggest there is more to it than a large white building may show.  And of course, a great quote from Psalms captures how it feels to be inside.

San Diego Temple

I love having faith-based paintings in my home, but often it is the same style, over and over again.  I wanted something that was modern and artsy looking.  I was inspired to create this painting when I saw a photo of this angle of the San Diego Temple.  It says so much, but in a simple way.  You don't need to see a realistic picture of the entire temple for it to mean something.  It's still a favorite of mine.  I am working on prints of these, but for now, a 10"x10" original is $195 and a $15"x15" is $300.
