Peg & Pen Artistry
Original Art
-
I am premaritally a watercolor artist, though I do dabble in other mediums - acrylics and gouache and throw in a bit of calligraphy as well. I will paint on nearly any surface. My primary canvases are paper, leather (shoes & handbags), ceramic, glass (wine glasses) and have started a bit of hand engraving as well. My primary subject is florals.

I have NEVER been artistic. I didn't study art, I didn't paint and draw as a kid, I did nothing artistic. But in January of 2020 I took an online calligraphy course. That is where I learned modern calligraphy. At the end of the 6 month course, a 7 day intro to watercolor course was available so I took that, what the heck. That changed everything! I fell in love with watercolor, the movement of the pigment and relationship with the water. I was hooked. That first year I don't think I missed a day painting. It's a rare day now that I don't paint something.

My best seller and what I'm known for is original painting on authentic sheet music. I love to paint on hymns and Christmas music sheet music. I also do custom work for clients; bottle painting is a favorite.
