"Wyoming Peonies"

"Wyoming Peonies"
 
This painting came about as we were visiting our families in WY for my dad's 80th birthday, and on our way back home to New Mexico, we always stop in Laramie to visit my husband's father's grave site.  It is in a beautiful cemetery that is very close to the University of Wyoming, and  you can even see the stadium where my father in law played football.  Close to my father in law's grave was a beautiful bush of peonies.  I asked my husband if he thought it would be disrespectful to photograph the flowers, and we both agreed that it would be fine, so I started taking photos. And this painting is the result. 
So while I painted "Dia de los Muertos" in memory of my father, this is my painting in memory of my father in law: Marlin Smith.

"White Cattleya Orchids"

 
This print is of a painting I painted a few years ago, from a plant I actually owned.  I have learned over the years that I have a green thumb for growing orchids, but for some reason I can not seem to grow succulents, like my mother can.

This painting was accepted to the Blossom II- Art of the Flower show in Naples, FL, and then was chosen for the traveling exhibit, where it traveled around the country to various galleries and museums for two years.  I currently own the painting, and it hangs in my living room.

Cost:                       $200.00

"Dia de los Muertos" print.

"Dia de los Muertos", (close up)






"Dia de los Muertos"
The prints are all giclee prints,  With the advancements in photography and printing, these prints look almost identical to the original painting, due to the extremely high detail and brilliant color saturation using all archival ink. 

The paper prints are made of the best 100% cotton stock, and are acid free.

image size:  17 1/2" x 12"
cost:             $150.00

The canvas prints are stretched on gallery wrapped canvas, which means there is no need for a frame.  The stretcher bars are 1 1/2" deep, (so that is how far the print will stand off the wall.)

image size:  27" x 18"
cost:             $495.00

I am planning on setting up a way to pay on this site, but as of now, you can email me with any questions.  Shipping prices will vary according to where the print is shipped.  My email is:

I am currently giving a 10% discount on all prints.
