LEAF PAINTINGS

My husband knows that he does not have to buy me super expensive gifts to make me happy. A handful of leaves or a flat rock to paint on will thrill me!

I press leaves in old phone books to dry them. Then I treat them with matt medium so that they are flexible and won't shatter as I paint them. Then Gesso is put down - wherever I am going to paint so that the acrylics will adhere to the leaves. Then they are sealed once again before they are mounted in a shadow box frame.

I seem to sell these unique little paintings almost as fast as I paint them.

CHEE CHEE - Sold

We saw lots of gophers growing up on a prairie farm - and in fact had one as a pet for one summer. It mysteriously disappeared the first day we returned to school in the fall. I kind of suspect that our father had something to do with that ...... 

"Chee Chee" - never forgotten - depicted here on an oak leaf in acrylics.

THE SNOWY ONE - Sold

Owls are fascinating. They look large and gentle, but as my mother once found out when she was getting too close to the tree with a nest, they can be aggressive when they need to be. 

And - ask any mouse ..... yup - they are aggressive. 

This owl painted on an grapevine leaf is SOLD. 


"The Dam Pelican" - SOLD

This little painting shows a pelican in flight using acrylic on an oak leaf. The reference photo used was one taken near Gardner Dam by artist Beth Campbell.
