~ New Oil Paintings ~

Spring is finally here.

The days are warmer and the seasonal allergies are CRAZY annoying - thank goodness for antihistamine, right!?

Altogether, spring is an inspirational season, and creativity has been hanging out in my studio quite a bit!

I'm very excited to introduce you to 10 new oil paintings that share 3 qualities:

  1. they are modern,
  2. they are graceful,
  3. and they are airy.

Each artwork was painted with Williamsburg hand crafted oils on the finest-quality pure-cotton canvas. They are ready to hang and become a focal point in your home.  You can click to each image to go to my online store.

HOW IS MY ARTWORK GOING TO BE SHIPPED?

All artwork is wrapped in paper, padded extremely well, and sent in a well-fitting sturdy cardboard box. Most artwork will ship via USPS or UPS and most packages arrive within 2-4 days (domestic) from time of shipping (includes tracking & insurance). 

$15.00 shipping costs cover fees, packaging supplies, time, labor, and storage.
