Now is the time for magic, woodland fairy magic. Let's be a wee bit imaginative and let the volatile chaos that swirls around us to evaporate if not for a second. The Dow in the New York stock exchange hit a record trading loss of 1000 points for a brief second. For just a second there was darkness and then light. Fairies are great at reminding us to not take life and things too seriously. Things never disappear they just change form. The wee woodland fairy house below is a perfect example. It has changed form. I added a few more bits and nature finds to the art studio house which makes it even more adorable. Is that even possible?

Watercolors are one of my favorite mediums and when I discovered I could use them on other things besides paper, my mind went wild. Now I am using watercolors on clay pots and painted furniture. There is a secret to my method but I think I will keep that to myself.
New Design. Hand painted cottage style writing table with drawer features a watercolor botanical landscape top. This table is from the late 1890's. I thought it screamed for an updated look that still keeps the roots of the table grounded with its wonderful honey brown stained legs and drawer.
The top is custom painted with my new watercolor technique. Dancing under a sky of blue are botanical flowers of hollyhock, daisies and thistles to name a few. The edges are hand distressed.
Not to worry the custom painting is finished with several layers of varnish and waxed. This is a well made sturdy table made of pine. Use this farmhouse table for writing or working on the computer or as a dressing table in the bedroom.
Sorry but this is for studio pick up only.
Elkin NC area. Free delivery.
Hand painted clay pot with a landscape of garden flowers hand painted around the outside of the Italian terracotta pot. I painted an assortment of garden flowers from hollyhocks and yellow daisies to thistles and Queen Anne lace and a bumble bee.
This pot is a straight flare sided pot with a rolled rim. I see pansies in the future for this little gem of a pot. Great to give to mom or a birthday gift.
Pot size is approx. 5 x 5 inches
Painted with watercolors and sealed with clear lacquer.
Just an Idea - I use clear antique dishes as saucers.
This is a one of a kind Italian terracotta painted pot which is a bit heavier than the typical nursery pots.
Botanical hand painted furniture is fun.
Give your home a spring cleaning and add a piece of hand painted furniture for a new look. See more of my work HERE
Look at the new spring painted furniture and wonderful garden painted gifts I have added to my Etsy shop, Between The Weeds. It is all about flowers and nature with a twist of magical whimsy. New watercolor hand painted furniture on flower pots, stools and boxes.

This is a new technique that allows me to apply my wonderful illustrations. This is a distinctive decorative garden pot ready to give as a gift or keep it for yourself.
An art studio for a woodland fairy to sit and create along side you, how magical is that? Inside there is an easel set for a fairy creation with a stool and behind are rolled up canvases. On the other side is a fairy computer and tablet with a few old fashioned books in the corner set upon a drift wood table with chair. The floor has a natural woven rug and on the back wall are cedar panels.
The roof is from branches and strewn across are pebbles, cones, sea glass, and raffia in a bow. The cones are separated and form shingles to help prevent the weather from coming in. The sides and back also have decorative cone shingles. I glue each and every piece you see in place by hand.
I will paint on any surface if at all possible with watercolors. Watercolors are underrated. I find when you combine watercolors and gouaches and apply them to a specially primed surface you can paint with them anywhere.
This box was one of the first paintings and has been sold, I did love this box. I have some new items that I am adding to the shop at Between The Weeds. Some are just for studio pick up and a few are small enough for me to ship.
I work with hand painted illustration on painted furniture adding botanical flowers bees words and animals. Anything the furniture is telling me to paint. For the most part every piece of painted furniture speaks and I listen. Sometimes I will hold onto a chair dresser or even a board waiting for the whisper of what it is needed for the work. This week spring is coming. I have so many things blossoming in my studio. Now I have to find the time to photograph my work so I can share it with you.
Imagine you are standing in the warm sun on a spring day and before you are white birch trees with spring green vibrant leaves. Feels good. Captured in this watercolor is the same feeling and you can keep it with you whenever you gaze upon the painting.

I never had a worry when I walked my dogs in the woods and this painting is an homage to my beloved standard poodle Jenny. She loved to investigate the forest as much as I did. I hope her energy shows through and sends you love and peacefulness with this little watercolor.
Something new I just added to the shop. This is a cute farmhouse wood pocket organizer painted a subtle sage spring green and just slightly aged to give it character.

Already a month into the new year and things are being created to meet my new vision I have for my studio.
I am so excited with this new direction. I guess you could call me a change addict. Creation is always changing. Our lives whether we like it or not always in flux and ever changing. Some things I could do without but mostly loving every fabulous moment. My dear mother would love to go outside on a very brisk cold day and say it makes me feel alive, that is how I feel with every nudge life creates for me. Change makes me feel alive.
I have changed things on this blog.
I am focusing on my illustrations. I am journeying down new roads and it was due to one simple phone call. Someone asking me about trees and illustrating her story. Wow never thought about illustrating but when I took a look closer I think I always have. I illustrate nature. On boxes, furniture, pillows, pendants and art all with that wonderful illustrator's eye. It took her asking to open my eyes and mind to something I am thrilled to embrace and explore. Ah...where will this path lead? Nope don't know but I am thinking my friends upstairs do.
With paint brushes, pencils, pens, paints and paper ready I am sketching and working on some new illustrations.
A nature art watercolor original painting is an illustration of the forest or woods. Notice the three ladies standing guard over the forest scenic landscape of the woodland. This illustration watercolor is titled Vermont Woods.

I am amazed at how much power one little word can have over how we may think about anything. I was listening to a new podcast at The Inspiring Artist, by speaker Samantha Bennett from The Organized Artist Company, I found fantastic ideas. The one that seemed to pop out today was to stop using but and insert and.
Simple and so precise. Think about how many times a statement an
action a dream is started only to find it fall away depleted and
forgotten because of that tiny word but got in the way. For
instance I want to sell my art BUT I have no experience. Now insert I
want to sell my art and I have no experience. And becomes the connection
to the answer and not the ending of your goal. No experience doesn’t
mean your art isn’t any good and everyone has to start from somewhere.
Follow Your Heart (the heart is the image
made with entwined vine and red trillium flower) is an original nature
art illustration by Laurie Rohner. I enjoy spreading a little
inspiration through my watercolors with inspiring words, sharing my hope
that everyone can see the possibility for a great life.
Title: Follow Your Heart
Medium: watercolor on paper
Paper: Arches 300lb hot pressed watercolor rag paper.
This is slightly rough thick hand made paper.
Image size is 5 x 7 inch.
Paper size is 5.5 x 7.5 inch
Palette: red,purple,navy,deep leaf green
Unframed.
Small Fact: The paper is so thick you can
attach a ribbon to the back and hang it. I suggest mounting the
painting on a matte and framing under glass.
As the new year progresses I will be adding new home decor, hand printed cards and journals, fairy houses and my original art.
I have decided to break free from Etsy - though I will keep some things there in my shop. But unless things change with their approach in how they handle there business and the CEO's flippant attitude towards the security of shop owners info I am finding a more suitable way market my business. I have a bunch of things stewing in my big marketing pot. I find with trial and error the best solutions for my business tend to eventually float to the top of the mix.
This is exciting. Where will this take me? I have mapped out a plan and along the way I will make the necessary course adjustments but where or how it all turns out for 2015? Only the stars know for sure.
Owl Nature Art Watercolor Original Painting Woodland Bird Blank Card
My owl nature art original watercolor painting, inspired by a woodland
barred owl I came across in Vermont is one of a kind painted by hand

I like owls. While living in Vermont one morning I came downstairs
opened my drapes to find a Barred Owl sitting on my bird feeder just 3
feet away. The feathers curled up in the wind and eyes as dark as black
ink. From that moment on he would show himself in very unexpected
places. I named him Bertram.

CARING FOR YOUR NEW FAIRY HOUSE
All my houses are unique and custom crafted for the fairy living in the
house. Woodland in nature is handmade from building the base to
decorating the interiors. Nature inspired woodland sculpted art can be
used outside or in. If placed outside expect only 1 maybe 2 years before
the environment plays its part. Will last much longer inside and mist
the houses, this keeps them from drying out. Keep out of direct
sunlight.
These are my original designs and I hand craft each piece for my woodland fairy houses.
All rights are not transferable with the purchase of this painting and remain with the artist.
