My art is primarily working with watercolors. The way watercolors can be fluid and alive yet you can layer the paint to create wonderful depth is so much fun. Andrew Wyeth’s egg tempera watercolors and Redoute’s intricate floral illustrations inspired my work. An expansion of painting watercolors to a new surface specially designed for water medium is new. This allows the artwork to be framed with no glass or matting. Living in Vermont has brought me a new insight and inspired my creative juices to add oil landscapes of Vermont countryside and towns. 

Miniature Oil and Watercolor Paintings

Above are a few of the miniature paintings I love to work on that depict the countryside and flowers which surround me. What I love about this size of work is how you can tuck them into any standard frame and hang them as a group or to enhance a small space. I just love them!

Painted custom boxes, lazy susans and more.

Hand-painted wood box with cottage garden flowers on a soft white background.

Hanging cabinet for your keys or jewelry with pink flowers and white lace hand-painted on a whitewashed finish.

Wildflowers are hand-painted on a painted lazy susan ready for the table or hang on the wall.

I guess I would say flowers are my thing. To me, they are a wonder of nature. It is amazing how out of a bud something so spectacular came come forward. It is a remembrance of how unimportant we humans are and how important nature truly is. My feelings are by painting these flowers on things we use every day we may remember that we need to pick our heads up and enjoy all of nature.

Wonderful landscapes and flowers watercolors painted by hand on heavy pastel or watercolor paper and mounted on reclaimed cedar roof shakes. Or choose hand-painted slates with watercolor flowers birds and nature in a variety of sizes. 

A cheerful bunny for a happy child’s room or bunny lover.

Her name is Bubbles. She is the queen of the bunny rabbits with her crown of flowers sweetly adorn her head. This sweet bunny is holding a pot of spring flowers, she loves to give by sharing her love. Hang her up on the wall and she will give you warm hugs and kisses year round. Nature art hand painted for your wall decor is an original painting makes a great keepsake. I painted her with watercolor and ink on 140 lb watercolor paper. She is a warm brown which is a lovely contrast to the garden flowers found on her crown. A wonderful square size of 8 x 8 inches will be a great addition to any room but how sweet she would be in the baby’s or kids room.

My nature artwork is original one-of-a-kind paintings that are suitable for framing. The watercolor art you will receive has its own unique and individual qualities only an original watercolor can give. My watercolors are made with the finest archival quality materials – Arches Watercolor Paper and Winsor and Newton Artists Quality Watercolors – and professionally packaged to arrive safely.

I do spray my watercolor to add some protection but this painting should be framed and matted with glass/glazing. I ship my paintings in plastic sleeve and wrap them up in brown paper so you can give as a gift to someone special or keep for yourself.

This illustration is available as a print on canvas in a variety of sizes too.

Do you really have to spend loads of money to have your shop and website?

Between The Weeds has set up a new place to call home. I have been an unhappy with what I was seeing with my weebly website. I was using Weebly and Ets, so after much investigating I made the plunge and started a website hosted with bluehost.com with wordpress and woocommerce plugins. Let me be direct if you can use a wordpress site you can manage exactly what I did.

I am still adding product and articles to my site betweentheweeds.com. Amazingly, I have seen an uptick with site visitors, so I know something is working. My weebly site didn’t see this amount of activity and never had this broad control over my product and shipping. On the new site you use plugins and until I know this is a good fit I am working with free plugin options. So far I have only paid for my hosting 3 yr charge of $99 + $14 for domain. Domain special for the first year is free, a special I found for bluehost.com. I will be adding information for what I have found over at Between The Weeds. Please go over to my site for more info as I figure out things and sign up.

Working with products is time consuming, hey I get it. Because I am adding more information to the products I found transferring products was not going to work. I still had to go in and tweek the listing. You have so much diversity in listing products from selling in person to online to adding digital downloads and adding subscriptions where you can get paid. I know whew that is exhausting. I think if you start with you basic product selling online you can build out from there. Don’t worry you can do it – I am.

Now for my Etsy shop I am not sure what I will end up doing with the shop but will keep things switched up for the time being. Etsy has its purpose, not sure how etsy is going to fit. One thing I have done is my pricing in the Etsy shop is higher than on my site due to Etsy’s excessive charges. By doing my own woocommerce store I am charged 2.75% for any sales, usual credit company charge between 2.75% – 2.95%. I like Stripe, that is the only charge your listing receives. Compared to etsy, add up all the .20 cent charges, combine the charges on transaction, listing, and shipping which comes to additional 9 – 10% additional charges. How can you run a sale or offer money back if you place an order and still make any money? Well you can’t. Again head over to Between The Weeds for more info and if you place an order for $60 or more you get $10 off.

I want you to do better and make money doing it. I know you do. I think we can all benefit, so stay tuned for more…

Something new in my studio and I know you will love them.

I have been working on small watercolors on Strathmore 140 lb watercolor paper for someone to give as a gift or to send your good wishes. There are oodles to choose from and I wanted to keep the price under $20. The watercolors are 5 x 7 inches and fit any standard mat. Not bad for an original artwork.

A farmhouse watercolor painted furniture bed tray is hand painted with garden flowers. There are poppy, coneflower, delphinium and more hand painted by Laurie Rohner. After preparing the tray surface I primed and painted the tray top with white paint. I sketched my flowers on and using watercolor flowers came alive. I applied ink line and sealed the tray with several coats of lacquer. I did not craft this bed tray but found this great bamboo bed tray at a store nearby. I did the delicate detailed watercolor art on the surface.
