This is slightly rough thick hand made paper.

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.

If you are looking for quality art for your home I have put together a fun collection called Springtime of some of my favorite artist at Etsy. The paintings here are all original paintings in watercolor oil and acrylic. Please take a moment and browse through these fabulous images brought to you by Between The Weeds. Enjoy.
If spring came but once a century instead of once a year, or
burst forth with the sound of an earthquake and not in
silence, what wonder and expectation there would be
in all the hearts to behold the miraculous change. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I have added some painted nature clay pots to the shop at Etsy, Between The Weeds. As the season comes to an end and spring is slowly coming forward I think of herbs and violets in pretty little pots. In moss-covered woodland clay pots and daffodils spring up blooming with yellow blossoms. Mint is planted along with basil and sage for all the gardening chefs. Not just for spring there is Mothers day and Easter to think of too. I am filling the shop each day with wonderful woodland botanical themed furnishings gifts and art so please be sure to check back often.

“Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.” – Margaret Young, was a popular singer and comedienne in the United States in the 1920s.
I love this thought about living life in reverse. How many people today are still chasing their tails in circles only to discover they have nothing more than what they had when they started out on their journey. For myself I have been through a bunch of ups and downs making me question my thoughts and vision for business for personal and overall perspective about my life. If we live from our heart the path before us becomes clearer, illuminated by a source many think they know but only can intuitively know.
I have opened myself up to my heart and have listened carefully to the whispers from the Divine Goddess. What I discovered was my love to paint with watercolors. I love to paint renderings of nature, of serene forests and woodland creatures and flowers. This is a path I had abandoned some years ago because I did not have the belief in my work. I followed the money trail with a number of creative careers. The whispers though were always there and never quiet. Now I am venturing down this old path. I am nervous anxious and excited about my new direction. I would be grateful if you would take a peek and see some of the small little watercolors I am working on at Between The Weeds.
The painting here is the first of a series I am starting using a new product for watercolor paintings which allows the artist to paint a watercolor and seal it on a framed board and no glass is needed. Fabulous invention.

Once upon a time I lived in a wonderful place called Vermont, maybe you have been there? I remember the beautiful cool woods I would escape to on a warm summer day. You could smell the ferns in the air as a gentle breeze would kiss your face. This is where fairies live and earth magic is alive. Great painting to compliment your fairy houses.

What is it you absolutely believe in, the world, your husband, family, job? Or do you believe in magic and simple ordinary miracles as I do. It is a small exercise you can do and it takes about five minutes out of your day. Take a piece of paper not an electronic gadget but a pen or pencil and a sheet of large blank paper. Funny put just using this methods connects you to the thoughts and to your self. Relax. Let your mind drift. When you are relaxed think about these two words,’I BELIEVE’, what comes to mind. Do not think just allow your self to feel. After five minutes see what you have jotted down. Some of it might surprise you and some make you laugh but all is a truth about you.
This is what I jotted down maybe it will help you get started.
I believe in the magic of the ordinary moments. I believe nature grounds me and nurtures my spirit. I believe that finding your passion will change your life. I believe in hard work and working hard for your goals. I believe watching a star filled night sky affirms my faith in the universe. I believe in the power of compassion. I believe thoughts are energy. I believe the earth is sacred. I believe fairies are real beings. I believe angels and spirit guides stand by us gently guiding and helping when asked. I believe creativity imagination and inspiration comes from our true self, the Divine within. I believe love heals all. I believe anything is possible if I believe.
Have you ever experienced in your life a sensation that makes all your hairs stand up as if the air is charged? Thoughts become heightened and your gut or heart center is screaming as loud as it can, listen we have a message for you. Very recently I noticed things around me, little lights, and at night there were bumps and bangs that I could not explain. Nighttime does not spook me so bumps and bangs I usually think is the house settling or an animal outside. But then came four nights ago, I was climbing into bed and very quickly from my left side was a white wisp shaped about the size of a person’s head and as I turned to see what it was it vanished. What I saw was this mist move quickly into nothing as if there was an invisible door and it was going through it. The image was only about two feet away from me so I felt a little unnerved. That night I experienced vivid dreams where I was living among fairies and angelic beings and ancestors I knew but never met. It was a pastoral light filled place and magic very much present. Old magic the kind that comes from nature and energy lay lines. I felt an overwhelming sense of love, creativity and bliss. There was no urgency and there was no real form but I knew what the forms were around me. Then time caught up and my journey ended.
I did not remember right away what had transpired during the nighttime journey because my brain and ego had to digest and filter. I now understand it was an angelic being who came that evening to prepare the way for me to take this needed journey into their realm. I was shown why it is important for me to stay with the path I am on. It is my purpose to create. To look at the world with different eyes then most and to feel what it is I feel. There is a specialness about this higher self being named Laurie. Maybe you can see that and you agree but if you do not I am perfectly content with knowing that also. My creative work is my spiritual self and Spirit working through this earthly body. I am the observer and my work is what I experience as the observer. It is the magical dance between the realms and it is the world I live which is between the weeds, where fairies and angelic beings live.
I had forgotten the joy my work gave me and became overwhelmed with creating to make money. This is not the higher self, your heart center, or your purpose. It is ego. After this journey I have discovered what it was about my work that made it unique to me. My designs are polished upscale and contemporary but have a comfortable feel like a cashmere throw has on a cold blustery night. I also love boxes and small cabinets. My work is moving towards building oodles of cottage farmhouse boxes and cabinets with my garden woodland delicate designs. Even my fairy friend Briar is thrilled because there is nothing that excites the fairies more than flowers. She still wants me to focus on some more fairy houses too.
This is one of the new boxes I have created since the nighttime journey.
This landscape watercolor painting of the Lamoile River by Laurie Rohner captures the river that meandered in front of our home in Vermont. It is summer and the river is low but you can still catch a glimpse of a kayak being gently paddled down the river. The colors are soft and the painting radiates the heat of the day. To the right are the pines shading the water but I painted the water clear and calm showing the rocks under the softness of the water. It is in contrast to the sunlight shores on the left. I gave a focal point in the center of the painting that brings you back into the painting with the shoreline of the river and the hazy mountain in the distance. This is one of my favorite watercolor landscape paintings.
Watercolor are my first love. My technique is a process that is long and labor intensive taking many days to complete. I use a technique called glazing. I paint my images several times building and layering the pigments with washes of color. I find it gives the images a quality of depth and realism which is not what you expect with watercolor paintings. Most of the time I work from a multitude of photos to sketch out how I want the painting to look. I choose my color palette and then lay the first washes down on a cotton ragcold pressed paper. Recently I have experimented with some other materials such as aqua-board and watercolor paper mounted on board.
This painting The Pink Lady is in my collection and it is the painting that started me on this path of watercolor painting in large format. I had just recovered from a serious car accident and had lost my job all within weeks. This is a very special painting and I keep it because it represents how fragile life is and even though things look bleak you can always find light in your life.
The Shaded Trees is on the Panel I had discussed and though I enjoyed the subject matter I found my style and technique did not work as well on this base. I love this painting because I expect to see some magical beings to suddenly appear popping out from behind the trees.

What a nice way to end this post. Have a happy day.
I have just added two more fairy houses to my etsy shop and my web site. They are a cabin and an artist studio. I love putting these houses together and as I work I develop these little stories that inspire me to create a three dimensional story ready for your own imagination.
