  • I paint a 40x30inch oil painting of an underwater scene.
    I am an artist residing in washington state! My paintings are heavily inspired by nature and its beauty. I work primarily in oil paint, and sometimes watercolor. I prefer to work in a mostly realistic style and occasionally experiment outside of that. I post oil painting time lapses, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, art tips, and occasionally artist vlogs where I share bits of my life as an artist. Creating art is my greatest passion and I'm thankful for the chance to share it with you. ♥

    You have no idea how much I missed you and your art! This piece is gorgeous, but I also really value what you shared about your experience with motherhood and art. Just as I'm in this weird spot of "I was always 99% sure I will never want kids, and I'm suddenly questioning that now". Seeing all those people whom I admire, having kids and being even more, not less, passionate and interesting, is extremely valuable. Thank you for being here, Lena, and all the best wishes to you and your family. ❤️

    I cant comprehend for the life of me how you and other creative painters manage to make it looks so realistic!
    I don't understand how people can see the colors and how to go about colors at all.
    But i do appreciate talented art!
    All i can think of is to compare it to when i'm playing my guitar and creating music without any real aim in the moment, but suddenly as you so neatly described you reach a point in the process where everything just kind of clicks and it reveals itself to you.
    My bandmates usually just call it "being in the zone".
    Lovely work Miss!
    Is there any possibility order paintings that are scaled up?
    I watched your site and found a really nice painting i wanted but it wasn't the right size i had in mind, is it possible to get paintings of let's say 23.4 x 33.1 inches (A1)?
    I'm asking because i'm not familiar with the limitations of this stuff.
