Painter’s Palette No. 15 — $328

A swirl of refined color, muted blues, mauves, and charcoal, bring sophistication to any wall. Framed and compact at 14″×12″, it’s perfect for adding understated elegance to a desk, hallway, or entryway. Depth and subtlety without taking up much visual real estate.

Hollyhock Botanical — $138

This delicate study of hollyhock blooms feels fresh, artisanal, and exquisitely scaled. Perfect for a bathroom, kitchen nook, or morning routine corner. Its gentle charm belies its affordable price tag.

Sunday Sailing — $138

With moody nautical tones and simple forms, Sunday Sailing evokes calm and reflection — perfect for a serene spot like a bedroom or reading nook. Tiny but thoughtful enough to elevate a small space.

Whispering Pines I — $450

A vertical composition of green-blue pine forms rendered with painterly ease and elegance. At 20″×16″ and spot-on for a quietly dramatic touch, this piece feels much larger than its price.

Blue Orchid — $400

Bold yet balanced, this 14″×14″ work captures floral energy in cool indigo. Its graphic silhouette and saturated hue make it a compelling focal point, ideal for dressing up a mantel, bathroom, or shelf.

Style Tips: Making Modest Works Feel Major

1. Lean It: Try styling these pieces on a mantle, bookshelf, or console. The ease adds sophistication.

2. Cluster Smartly: Combine 2–3 small works for a gallery cluster or salon-style vignette.

3. Let One Rule: When a piece has a bold color or graphic edge, let it shine alone against neutral walls or furniture.
