The Little Artist In Me: White Rose

White Rose

This was my first attempt at painting a flower up close, tone on tone. It was surprising how many colours I actually ended up using. This is one of my favourites, I think because I find it relaxing and romantic. 16"x20".

A bit of history...

I began creating art as soon as I was able to hold a crayon. Scribbles quickly turned to little houses, trees, people and animals. I would draw every chance I got, and art became my passion.
I never did well in art class though, I wanted to do art my own way, not the way my teachers wanted it done. I seemed to have a stubborn creative bone and it clashed with theirs. I have done my own thing ever since and believe that there are no rules when it comes to art.
Over the last few years my painting has slowed down a lot. We now have 5 children and are expecting the 6th. I have been very busy just keeping up with daily life and homeschooling the school aged children.

I give all thanks to God!

Below are links to galleries featuring all the different styles of art that I create. However, if you keep scrolling down you can view all of my art as I create it.

If you are interested in any of these pieces (not marked SOLD) and are not local just send me an e-mail and I will put the piece into my etsy shop reserved in your name or send you a paypal invoice.

I take credit cards and e-cheques and once the payment has come through I will pop it in the mail. (Shipping is extra but extremely reasonable)

If you have any questions or would like a custom painting I would be glad to hear from you!

I am currently booked for the summer (if you have discussed custom work with me you are included in my summer schedule) Any new orders will be postponed until fall. Thank you!
