How I Pack Wet Oil Paintings for Travel + Painting a Fall Landscape | Echoes of Old
Today’s video has two gentle parts to it.
First, I’m leaving the cabin and packing my newly painted landscapes for the drive home. I’m walking you through my 3-step method for safely transporting wet oil paintings in the car — a way that has saved many paintings from smudges, dents, or disasters. No fancy equipment needed, just simple tools and thoughtful handling.
Then we move into the heart of the video: a new painting from my collection Echoes of Old — stories told in color and light.
This landscape grew out of slow autumn days, walks through fields, and quiet moments observing how the air shifts when the seasons change. As the paint moves across the canvas, I share bits of home — gathering fall branches and seed pods from the garden and bringing them inside to create a cozy seasonal vignette.
The video ends with the finished painting framed and hung in my bedroom, where the late afternoon light warms its colors. I hope this feels like a soft place to land.
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.
