This is my favorite version of the Manhattan temple.

Manhattan Temple #3

I put this up on Etsy and it sold in a day.  I like it, but I like the other ones more.

Manhattan Temple #1

 This was a sketch.  I love the movement and simplicity. Nothing too fancy, but lovely.  It's on an 8X10 piece of paper, but can be cropped down to a smaller size.

Sacred Grove #2

Oh, I loved this.  I thought it was kind of cute!  I want to try other versions of this image.

Sacred Grove #3

I love these trees, but these don't quite look like the Sacred Grove.  They do look like a forest, but not the folk-lore version.

Sacred Grove #4

I think this would be super cute in a kids room.  I love the little trees and fence.  It's nothing special, but that's what it really looks like if you've been there.

Sacred Grove #5

This is my first attempt at the Sacred Grove.  Wait, I think that I painted on the other side of the sacred grove that didn't work out.  I thought this forest turned out looking cool!

Sacred Grove #6, Joseph Smith Farm

I really like this one because I practiced some more minimalist techniques in watercolors.  I like the fence too.

Sacred Grove - Finally

I think out of all the versions of the Sacred Grove that I did, this is one of my absolute favorites.  There's a lot of serious art with the Sacred Grove.  This is lighter, and more gentle.  Sweet and reflective.  Thanks for Sarah Gilreath to giving me the photo.

Sacred Grove #1

Ok, are you ready for some shots of the Sacred Grove?  My friends tell me that they feel like there is no good art for nurseries/kids's rooms with the sacred grove.  Nothing that isn't "fine art."  So here are my few attempts at doing the sacred grove.  I've done it like 7 times and it got better each time, although I'm not displaying these in order.  They are all pretty different, mostly.  Some just look like trees, but they are really based off photos of the real sacred grove. (just fyi.)  I guess I should capitalize it.  "Sacred Grove."

Botanical Nursery Art

I did this art a few weeks ago and I'm about to send it out to the future mamma to be.  I love this stuff!

Raleigh Temple

I have been spending some time working on some Raleigh temples.   Doing the same building over and over makes me more comfortable with things like the windows, the trees, and building shape.

Pineapple

I just love this pineapple!  I'ts one of my favorites.  I just love it and want to keep it, but I really have no place for it.

Botanicals 9X11ish

I loved this piece and wanted to put it in my living room, but it didn't fit in any of my frames.  It's bigger.  About 9X12.  Ink on 140 cold press watercolor paper.

Love this!
