eBay Auction – Bid on Field Sketches

2024-08-26T17:10:11-04:00

"Fruity Tulips" - original field sketches. Available on eBay until Sept. 26th. These original paintings are field sketches of two colorful and lighthearted tulips, viewed from above. Don't they remind you of fruit?? They were painted as "drafts" for a larger commission earlier this summer, and instead of tossing them to the side, we're auctioning them off! Because who doesn't like an opportunity to grab original art for a deal? Starting at $27 for the pair, [...]

Pet Portraits: How to paint realistic face and body

2023-02-02T09:31:40-05:00

The first layer of the main features are done. Since every dog or cat I paint are a commission, I love the feedback I get from the client from this stage. A recent client shared this with tears in her eyes: "This is so exciting! It's like you're bringing my boy to life on canvas!" I sit alone in my studio, and maybe you do as well... and it can be easy to forget the impact and [...]

Pet Portraits: Should you sketch before painting + how

2024-02-28T15:16:22-05:00

When you want to paint an accurate representation of a beloved dog or cat (or you’re hired to, like I am), it’s helpful to create a road map to anchor into instead of staring at a blank canvas, paintbrush in hand. The outline you sketch on your canvas before you start painting is your roadmap. This becomes your guide for when you paint your first layer. Since the sketch is the starting point, if you're wondering, "Should [...]

Prepping for the Annual Open Studio Event

2024-08-27T08:03:29-04:00

Woo hoo! I've started prepping for the Open Studio Event over the last couple of weekends whenever I've had a free moment.  Well, the actual prepping for this year's Open Studio Event started months ago when Lauren and I set a date that would work for us both. I mailed out the "Upcoming Events" postcard early fall, and the invitations went out early October. The photo above is from when I addressed 100 envelopes one early Saturday morning [...]

Time to celebrate Mom!

2024-08-26T15:53:26-04:00

In a little less than a month, it's Mom's special day here in the U.S. How do you celebrate her? Brunch at the favorite restaurant or country club? A full day of activities or a phone call? There are so many great gifts out there, she definitely deserves something more than a last-minute card. If you like giving jewelry, Real Simple shares "28 ways to let mom shine" in their latest issue, but there's always the good ol'spa [...]

Original painting: Sunny Daisy

2022-10-23T14:52:34-04:00

Ahhh, what a nice treat to share this latest painting with you. And on a Monday of all days! I can't help but get a smile across my face when I look at "Sunny Daisy." I'm not sure if it's the yellow color or if it's the perception (can't you imagine yourself having bent down to smell the flower?). Stretching 16 inches tall and 40 inches wide - technically this painting could also hang vertically - I can [...]

Original painting: Petals in Gray Sky

2024-08-26T16:14:29-04:00

After receiving such warm comments about the yellow and gray color combinations in the latest painting, I just had to make another one! I had no idea yellow and gray were the "in" colors... see posts by Live.Like.You, Spark!, From the Right Bank and Matters of Style. So here it is, "Petals in Gray Sky!" I did the wrapped feature again so you can see parts of the petals from left, right and below, but not from the [...]

Original painting: Yellow Reverse Closed Tulip

2022-10-23T14:53:24-04:00

My love for the yellow and gray color combination continues in this latest tulip! "Yellow Reverse Closed Tulip" by Erica Eriksdotter The "Yellow Reverse Closed Tulip" is an acrylic painting done on a 24x18 inches and 1.5 inches deep stretched canvas. The background color continues on all sides. This painting is not completely the reverse of "Closed Tulip III," but it's very close, just no green. "Closed Tulip III" and "Yellow Reverse Closed Tulip" by Erica Eriksdotter For [...]

Original painting: Turquoise Reverse Closed Tulip

2024-08-26T16:15:24-04:00

Mid-week! I've been roughing it with a cold the last 1,5 weeks but managed to finish the "Turquoise Reverse Closed Tulip" painting this past weekend at the same time as the "Yellow Reverse Closed Tulip." Who knew I could do more than one painting at the same time? There's a first for everything. This is the latest tulip, and the last one for a while. I need to make a couple of other paintings before the art festival [...]
