"Hope and Regrowth - Watercolor on Paper - $350
Studio Special
Healing through art


Purchase “Hope and Regrowth” and receive the two small warm ups as part of the story and the painting’s provenance.

The Story:
I was feeling so very sad at the loss of the Eagle Creek area in the Columbia Gorge.  I have spent many hours there for many years and have always found healing and peace in the woods.  It saddened me so much that I was drawn to painting about the loss.  I started with two warm up paintings that are about the way I was feeling, and these feelings show how my subconscious guided my color choices.  I painted the trees without life and the land charred and burned.  The healing came out when I went to work on a larger piece.  I set out to also paint the sadness but what came from my subconscious this time was “Hope and Regrowth”.  Unintentionally I painted a vision of Mother Nature’s ability to survive and create beauty again. 

You can see the two 3.5 x 10 warm ups below:

I was so thrilled and honored that the juror gave me a first place for the theme category in this years Juried Portland Rose Festival show with the Oregon Society of Artists.  Very cool.  Then was doubly thrilled to also win the people’s choice award.  I actually was quite surprised  because I heard several large groups of people talking about a different painting that they were voting for so when they called my name I wasn’t expecting it!
