“words run under” is a 36”x36” original acrylic on canvas. I used a combination of large palette knife strokes with a variety of brush sizes to create a space where you want to run through this aspen grove to chase that sunset…or is it a sunrise?? you get to decide!! enjoy! this one is sold but I can always make a commission specific to your space.

I was so honored to have an amazing family commission this painting to celebrate their Jenny and her love for life and living her 18 years with such joy & radiance!

5’x3.5"‘ original acrylic on canvas commission for a neighbor- they wanted a HUGE piece for their formal living room with 20’ high ceilings and she wanted golds & grays and to be looking up into an aspen grove… and whallah here is what we did!

6"x6"x1" original acrylic on canvas with a special recipe of "super glaze" on top to add some dimension and shine to these little guys.  My amazing friend Dolly set these up for me in booth #97 @SugarMagnolia antique store in Oxford MS.  They are $36 each and make great gifts or just for you to add some pops of color and interest to your already amazing space!

32"x48" acrylic on canvas - this guy was a commission/gift for my bro and his sweet new wife who live in South Louisiana- i had done a similar one for a friend and they wanted one with deeper tones and more green/more masculine b/c my brother is so manly! I used a large brush and a palette knife to create depth and texture, and finished it with a matte varnish- if you want to get you one contact me with any ideas!

this guy was a commission for a precious Mississippi family, its about 32"x52" acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, these are my whimsy birds having a party and helping this all white kitchen with the gorgeous antique brass hardware go to the next level!  she had it framed in the antique gold and it really helps to bring it all together! yay teamwork!

this is a 24"x48" original acrylic on canvas done with palette knife and large brush strokes, finished with a gloss varnish - it is a commission for one of my besties and i love the warmth of the yellows and golds how it calls to the sun and the cools represent the vine giving its life for the cotton boll, its a stark contrast between the end result of the soft cotton and the dead, crispy vine that has held it and nourished it to life... hmmmmmm i could come up with so many analogies... 

i had a grand time creating these little beauties!  they mostly sold out at my last show #doubledecker2017 but look for more and they may grow big! whooo hooo!!

a little side note on the name... i love mumford and sons and their lyrics get me and stay with me - so "paint my spirit gold" is from "i will wait" and to me its a song of faith to Jesus as we wait to see him face to face but live each moment by faith bc it says in 1peter "we love him yet have never seen him" 

"Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies
And I'll kneel down,
Wait for now
I'll kneel down,
Know my ground
Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow"

3'x3' acrylic on canvas, happy yellow trees!!!
