Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous October! I can’t believe Halloween is in a couple of days. So crazy how the fall is going so fast!

I just wanted to share with all of my lovely readers that I will be releasing some brand new original paintings this Thursday October 30 on Dress the Room. I have been working super hard all summer and fall coming up with a brand new collection of coastal paintings and I hope you love them. Here are a couple of sneak peaks! All of my paintings are inspired by what I see around the island. If you are new here, I live on an island in the middle of Lake Erie all summer and on the weekends during the spring and fall. You can read more about that here.

Here is one of the paintings releasing this week! Sailing Along the Grove styled in my island home.

A close up of Sailing Along the Grove. This painting is inspired by the beautiful grove of trees nearby our island home where I often see sailboats or fishing boats along the lake.

A photo I took of the grove in late summer. Look at the fishing boats!

“Island Garden” is a 30 x 40 painting inspired by the beautiful wildflowers I often see along the island’s shore.

Garden in the Grove is another 30 x 40 painting inspired by a gorgeous garden I saw near the grove this summer. The garden belonged to one of the amazing historic cottages and I just fell in love with it! So charming!

Another 30 x 40 painting! I just love painting these large canvases. This one is called Regatta Along the Bay. It is inspired by the gorgeous sailboats I see racing across the lake throughout the summer and fall.

These collection of original sailboat paintings will also be released! I just love their blue and green color palette.

Thanks so much for checking out some of my new paintings! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
