An Artist’s Tale | The Story Behind Mrs. Primrose’s Country Life

---

Step into another time…
In this week’s video, I’m sharing the story that unfolded while I was painting my newest collection, Echoes of Old — a series of landscapes inspired by the dramatic light and romance of the Dutch masters.

Meet Mrs. Primrose, a woman of quiet grace who spends her days painting, wandering the countryside, and writing letters that reveal a tender mystery. Through each brushstroke, the soft light, and the moody skies, I wanted to capture the feeling of simpler days — when life moved slowly, connected to nature, art, and wonder.

You’ll see me paint and hear the full narrated story of Mrs. Primrose, set among sweeping hills, farmhouse gardens, and golden autumn fields.

🎨 About the collection:
Echoes of Old explores nostalgia and beauty through painterly landscapes, where imagination and memory blend.

Travel with me to Camp Easy and enjoy fall in the mountains. I create decoration with no spend budget by using nature to decorate. There is nothing better than a cozy fire on a chilly fall rainy day in the mountains and I start a new painting collection inspired by the old dutch masters paintings. Relaxing no talking visual feast for the soul. Hope you enjoy.

Tiny Landscape Painting in Oil - Sharing my tips and tricks

---

This week, I’m taking you behind the scenes as I paint a tiny fall landscape in oils — and share my favorite tips and tricks for working small.

Last week, we prepped the tiny frames by removing the glass and giving them a makeover with a touch of antique charm. Today, I’m choosing the perfect painting surface (low texture for fine detail), setting up my cozy autumn painting space(yes, including new squirrel candle holders 🐿️), and walking you through my palette and brush choices.

Then it’s time to paint: a woman in a golden field, with flowers in the foreground and distant trees under a soft autumn sky. Along the way, I share insights on brushwork, color mixing, and the little details that make tiny landscapes feel big in atmosphere.

I finish the session by peeling off the tape for that oh-so-satisfying reveal, and placing the frame over the still-wet painting — a glimpse of what these miniature masterpieces will become.

✨ If you’re interested in oil painting, fall inspiration, or simply the calming rhythm of painting along, I hope this video sparks your creativity.
