This is an 8x10 fine art print of my pastel painting, Homespun. As an experiment in creating my own compositions, I collaged images from several places together to build a dynamic scene: all from New Hampshire, I used a greenhouse I saw in Sanbornton, a hillside house and trees from the outskirts of Concord, cows from Shaker Village in Canterbury and chickens from my grandparents' farm in Belmont. The little girl was my final touch, and she was borrowed from a stock image. The completed scene feels like when I was that small and was allowed to choose my own pumpkin for carving- an exciting opportunity to run around outside. This painting was done with a combination of watercolor and gouache on wood panel. I like to prime my wood panels with Daniel Smith brand's Watercolor Ground. Working on wood is nice because it doesn't warp like paper, so I can use as much water as I want, and I can layer color nearly endlessly too. I produce my prints right in my home studio in Belmont, NH using a 6-color inkjet printer on matte fine art photography paper. Each is signed by hand on the back and sealed in a clear plastic sleeve with a rigid backing board for the best protection. I can produce prints to order if my supply of materials allows, so if you require a large quantity of prints (perhaps as wedding favors, holiday gifts for extended family, etc.) feel free to contact me.
