Hello!

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to visit my site.

Fun Fact ... Did you know I used to be an art teacher? I also used to write a blog for parents, teachers, and caregivers of young children called Pink and Green Mama. I spend my time here now, making art in my studio and sharing my work with the world, but I would like to invite you to look at my Art Lesson Ebooks in my shop if you have young children in your life and want to share art and creative experiences with them. They are packed with all kinds of hands-on ways you can CREATE, PLAY, and EXPLORE with them!                        

                                                                                                                      xoxo MaryLea

Large Scale Abstract Commission Piece in Bend, OR.

May 26, 2015

I was recently asked by a a good friend, Patty Knowles, to create a large scale, original piece of abstract art for her dining room wall. Patty and her husband, Greg, recently built a beautiful custom, contemporary home here in Bend, Oregon. I visited Patty's beautiful, light-filled home and measured the walls, took notes on her favorite colors and found a way to combine the style of my work with the other art and finishes in her home. The end result was perfect. It fit the space beautifully and complimented the rest of her art collection. The final painting measured 6 feet high by 8 feet wide. Both the client and the artist, myself, were happy with the final product. I loved working on a large scale again and intend to continue working on some large, abstract pieces this summer. Thank you Patty and Greg.

Here is a sneak peek of it in my studio to give you a sense of scale. I love working big!
