Some of our favorite summer moments are spent on the water. From fun adventures with friends, floating down the river, anchored into your favorite cove, sun kissed faces and boat hair to those serene moments on calm water, lost in quiet reverie over glistening waters.

The Unsalted Collection is all about capturing those favorite summer memories on the water. Our family loves the water - ok I love the water and by default do does the family. 😉 They don’t complain.

Gold details, glistening water and sunset skies. If this doesn’t make you want to grab a paddle and a kayak I’m not sure what will.

I am so excited about this collection! I love landscapes just as much as florals and I’ve been hesitant to paint them because all the art business groups I’m in talk about making things cohesive and similar and I felt like my landscapes were different enough they didn’t quite fit. I’m re-thinking that.

I did carry over the same color palette from the florals, pushing the pinks to the background and bringing the blues and teals forward, but I also decided that 1. Cohesive Schmo-hesive rules were meant to be broken and 2. I’m not really breaking rules anyway. They are cohesive! Painting so many florals has really refined my style and I think my style is evident in this collection and my color lovin’ heart still shows through even in landscapes.

I love to speak in color. There’s so much darkness in the world, so much evil fighting for our hearts I want my art to reflect light and happiness. But a calm, relaxing, reflective painting can do just the same to recharge our hearts. And both energy levels can be found on the water, so both energy levels are included in this collection.

There will be 10 paintings included in this collection releasing Aug 18! E-mail subscribers will be able to shop the collection a day early, so if you’re not a subscriber fix that here!
