St. Gertrude of Nivelles

Just popping in to share the latest painting, St Gertrude of Nivelles - patron saint of cats, gardeners and travelers...

I had so much fun painting her in this sort of folk art/iconic fashion, and do hope she finds a good home for her feast day (March 17th). She's listed on Etsy now.

Thanks for taking a peek, and I'll be back soon with a few new Easter/Ostara pieces!

Until then,
♥ Carolee

Commissions

I accept a limited number of commissions each year, on a very selective basis, with the understanding that the painting process can be a walk down an unknown path - as much for the artist as for the commissioner. I work best, and most successfully when creating freely, and with minimal direction, and find that most pieces evolve of their own accord - leading me on a sometimes unexpected, but always magical journey.

If you are comfortable with this, and interested in a commissioned piece, please drop me a line at carolee@kingofmice.com for terms and time frames. :)
