✨ New Mini Holiday Paintings: “Love Lives Here” and “Lil Red” ✨

Featured

The holiday season has officially arrived in my studio, and I’m so excited to share two brand-new 4×4-inch Christmas paintings that are full of sparkle, warmth, and joy!

These mini originals may be small in size, but they’re big on holiday cheer — perfect for gifting, decorating cozy corners, or adding a handmade touch to your festive décor.

🏠 “Love Lives Here”

Bring a touch of Christmas magic to your home with “Love Lives Here,” a whimsical little blue house nestled between a cheerful Christmas tree and a friendly snowman. Floating gold hearts fill the sky, reminding us that love truly makes a home shine.

Hand-painted in happy shades of yellow, blue, green, pink, and white — and sprinkled with a touch of glitter for extra holiday sparkle — this piece radiates warmth and joy. It’s ready to hang with a festive ribbon and makes a thoughtful Secret Santa gift, stocking stuffer, or keepsake to treasure year after year.

🐦 “Lil Red”

Meet “Lil Red,” a bright and curious red bird gazing up at a glowing North Star against a lush green background. Inspired by my own special friendship with a red cardinal who visits me daily, this painting captures the beauty of small moments and the spirit of connection that makes the holidays so special.

Each brushstroke is filled with love and color — from the rich reds and greens to soft white and golden accents that make the little bird glow. “Lil Red” is also ready to hang with a festive ribbon and sealed for lasting beauty.

🎁 Perfect for Gifting or Decorating

Both mini paintings are original, hand-painted works of art — no prints or reproductions here! At just 4×4 inches, they’re ideal for desks, shelves, or cozy nooks, and they come safely packaged and ready to gift. Whether you’re looking for a unique handmade present, a cheerful Secret Santa surprise, or simply something special to brighten your own space, these minis are made to spread joy.

✨ Celebrate the Season with Art & Heart

The holidays are all about love, connection, and little moments that make us smile. “Love Lives Here” and “Lil Red” were created to capture that spirit — in a small, heartfelt way.

New Art Releases: Moments of Renewal and Echoes of Joy

Featured

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind, but I survived! 🎉

Long story short—my computer crashed, and I was nearly in tears thinking I’d lost all of my work and photos. 😢 Thankfully, everything was recovered, and I now have a brand-new computer—yay! The downside? It came with all-new software, including a different version of Windows and my photo-editing program, so there’s definitely a learning curve. But I’ll get there😅

While my computer was down, I still managed to get some work done from my phone (which was not easy on that tiny screen!). I did, however, manage to list two new pieces in my Etsy shop:

🎨 Moments of Renewal – A 5×5-inch abstract painting that glows with depth and movement. Layers of luminous color and expressive brushwork create a radiant composition that feels alive—evoking both serenity and inspiration.

🎨 Echoes of Joy – A vibrant 4×12-inch modern abstract that bursts with rhythm and harmony. Energetic strokes and shifting layers of color capture a sense of celebration and motion, like joyful echoes reverberating through light and space.

✨ Both of these one-of-a-kind abstracts make a bold statement as wall art or as a shelf accent in your home, office, or creative space. Their vivid hues and dynamic energy invite reflection, spark conversation, and add a touch of contemporary elegance wherever they’re displayed.

Stop by my Flowing Waters Art Shop on Etsy to take a closer look!

Thanks so much for stopping by—wishing you a truly wonderful rest of your week! 😊

Vibrant 11×14 Fine Art Prints That Wow

Every painting I create holds a little melody of emotion, and “Notes of Grace” is one that sings with color, movement, and harmony. This modern abstract began as an original 5×7 inch painting on wood, where I explored the rhythm between shape and hue—each brushstroke dancing in its own vibrant tempo.

New Christmas Art: Noel & All Is Calm 🎄✨

Featured

The holidays are one of my favorite times to create, and this year I’m especially excited to share two brand-new Christmas paintings that have found their way onto charming little ornaments. These whimsical pieces are filled with festive cheer and cozy magic, perfect for brightening up your tree—or any small nook in your home.

Noel 🌸🏠🌙

This 3×4 inch pink house ornament feels like a storybook scene come to life. With its cheerful blue roof, glowing yellow windows, and a decorated Christmas tree standing on each side, the home sparkles under the gentle moonlight and the bright North Star. Hung with a festive ribbon, Noel is more than just tree décor—it’s also a mini hand-painted artwork that can bring a joyful pop of color to desks, shelves, or any cozy corner.

All Is Calm 🌌🏠⭐

The second piece, All Is Calm, is a one-of-a-kind 4×4 inch canvas that captures the peaceful stillness of a winter’s night. A whimsical blue house is nestled between two bright Christmas trees, with the moon and shining North Star overhead. A sprinkle of glitter gives it that extra holiday sparkle, making it a perfect reminder of the calm and magic the season brings. Whether you display it on your tree or gift it to someone special, this little painting is sure to bring a smile.

Both of these new pieces were painted with love, sealed for protection, and are ready to display with their festive hanging ribbons. They also make thoughtful gifts—unique treasures that combine the joy of art with the warmth of holiday tradition.

Whispers of Light ✨

Featured

As an artist, I often find myself deeply connected to the pieces I create. Each brushstroke carries its own story, and sometimes I like to sit with a painting for a while—reflecting on the process, making sure it feels complete, and letting the piece breathe before deciding what comes next.

Whispers of Light, my newest 18×24 abstract, is one of those pieces I took my time with. I blogged about it back in May, sharing how I paused in the middle of the night and waited for morning light to guide me. That quiet moment became part of the painting’s journey.

With its luminous layers of turquoise, rose, golden peach, and warm earth tones, this piece carries a sense of calm and gentle radiance—like a breath between thoughts. I’ve truly enjoyed pouring my heart into it, and now it’s ready to step beyond the studio.

It’s always a little bittersweet to move a painting from my studio into my shop—like closing a quiet chapter—but it also brings me so much joy to imagine it finding a new home. I love the thought of its soft glow becoming part of someone else’s story.

Whispers of Light is now available in my Etsy Shop: Flowing Waters Art Shop

If this piece speaks to you, I’d be delighted for you to take a closer look. Thank you for being part of my creative journey and for supporting handmade art.

Wishing you a day filled with light and inspiration!

New Wildlife Photography: From Sweet Ducklings to Majestic Peacocks

Nature has an incredible way of surprising us—sometimes with its quiet sweetness and other times with its dazzling display of color. This week, I’m excited to share two new photographs that capture both sides of that beauty: a tiny, fluffy duckling and a proud, colorful peacock.

There’s something so pure and joyful about its little adventure—it’s the kind of moment that instantly makes you smile. Perfect for nursery décor, nature-themed spaces, or anyone who loves a touch of cuteness at home.

This piece brings sophistication and vibrancy to any wall, whether in a living room, office, or gallery wall collection.

Both prints are available in multiple sizes and make wonderful gifts for bird lovers and nature enthusiasts. Whether you’re drawn to the soft charm of the duckling or the bold beauty of the peacock, these photographs bring a touch of the wild into your everyday space.
