MY PAINTINGS IN THE VILLAGE OF WAUWATOSA

I have some exciting news to share!

My paintings can now be found in this beautiful boutique in downtown Wauwatosa!


The
V I L L A G E   B O U T I Q U E   C L O T H I E R S
is an Anthropologie-like shop located in the old Robertson Ace Hardware space at 1417 Underwood Avenue.  Old hardwood floors, creative displays of beautiful clothing, jewelry, and home decor, all surrounded by vintage pieces and built-ins left from the old days of Robertson's store.  This is really a stunning shop and I am thrilled to have my paintings  featured! 

"Blue Poppy"

 "Sun Cherry Zinnia"

 "Autumn Gold Zinnia"

"Orange Poppies"

And today,  I'm staying at home to work on a commission for a home portrait.



There's still time to order your custom home portrait for Christmas gift-giving.  You can find it here:

BLUE POPPIES No. 2 - SOLD!

Day 5

Meconopsis, or the Blue Poppy, is the national flower of Bhutan.  I have learned that this flower was discovered in 1922 by a mountaineer while trying to reach the summit of Mount Everest.  I guess it's hard to grow unless you have really fresh seeds and perfect condition.  

Shoot!  I'm sure Wisconsin doesn't fall into the category of "perfect conditions" but what a gorgeous flower with its crinkly tissue-like petals and interesting seed pods.  I have used archival quality watercolors in shades of blue and turquoise, along with a TechLiner archival quality pen.

In progress. 

 And done!



Just for an idea of what "Blue Poppies" will look like when matted and framed.
