Magic and beauty are really in ourselves.

“The appearance of things change according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.” – Kahlil Gibran, was a great artist, writer & poet.

Here a two little watercolors I have finished and added to Laurie Rohner Studio. They are both influenced by the sky above and the ever changing landscape below. These are Vermont landscapes. Never did a day start or end without some reminder how special and small we are but how unique and magical we can be if only to tap into the beauty within. For me Vermont holds my heart strings and even today as I write this it pulls me closer calling me to hear its song. I believe we can tap into the magic and beauty of the this earthly plan and for each of us it is at a special different place, mine being Vermont. You may find yours in the midst of a busy energetic city street or the desolate landscape of a desert. Maybe it is nowhere and you see it every moment of each glorious day shining out from the cells of your being and as you watch from behind the eyes of your body you understand see and feel the changes occurring all around and can marvel at the beauty of life. I am not one of those people but what a goal to have and dream to achieve?

Sorrow prepares you for joy.

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.” - Rumi

Special Spring Collection Among the Flowers.

I have been featured in this great collection of gorgeous paintings and creative handmade gifts for Easter and spring among the flowers. This collection is by Sandra Hanken and she lives a country life in northern Minnesota. Her amazing Etsy shop is Becoming Bears ETC Handmade teddy bears, toys, pillows & patterns. I love dragonflies and this is one very special dragonfly.

Green Dragonfly by Becoming Bears ETC

This is from her listing on Etsy and she writes – Dragonflies are amazing creatures of the wind, with long bodies and shimmering wings. It is sometimes said that when a dragonfly lands on you, you will have good luck. In various cultures, the dragonfly symbolizes change, renewal, and the power of life, as well as joy, new beginnings, love and hope. They make wonderful gifts to celebrate a special occasion or to add beauty to a bookshelf, side table or bed.

I made all the dragonflies that I am listing from my original pattern. This listing is for a lovely dragonfly made from cotton prints in shades of olive and lime green. The glimmering wings are made from sparkle tulle. It is approximately 13 inches long with a 16 inch wingspan and is stuffed with fiberfill. Since it has button eyes, it is appropriate for dragonfly lovers over the age of 3.

Please see my other listings for more color choices. If you would like a color that you don’t see listed, please convo me regarding a special order. Thank you!

I hope you visit all the wonderful shops featured here and my own at Between The Weeds.

Aiming for success with what you love to do.

“Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”

- David Frost, is a British journalist, comedian, writer and media personality.

I am reinventing the way I am branding my shop Between The Weeds with an underscore to nature. I love to watch birds and animals (my dog in particular),their personalities shine if you just pay attention. I am learning to connect to that energy. These are two woodland bird original watercolors.

Remember I am offering free bunny cards with your order.

Watercolor Nature Original Painting Woodland Bird Chickadee by Laurie Rohner

Palette:umber,navy,paynes gray

Watercolor Original Nature Painting Cedar Waxwing Woodland Bird by Laurie Rohner

A watercolor original nature painting of a woodland bird titled Cedar Waxwing.
Original artwork by Laurie Rohner.

I love these birds Cedar Waxwings, when they make their way through my area. They love to eat the red berries on my holly so I took a bit of artistic licensing and removed the green leaves. I love the subtle tones of this watercolor. It is whimsical with the added painted border and there are subtle water marks of blue in the corners.

Palette:umber,navy,paynes gray,yellow,red.

Wall artwork for cottage chic, farmhouse and loft decor.

These are my original designs and I hand paint each piece after which I add my signature ink line. A great value for an original piece of artwork.

Replace Negative with Positive.

“If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative. In our thoughts and words we create our own weaknesses and our own strengths. Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts. We can always replace negative with positive.”

- Betty Eadie, is a prominent American author of several books on near-death experiences.

Have I mentioned I am crazy about nature? I love the feel I get when I engage with nature. I love to watch birds. I find it fascinating to see them dangle from branches fearless knowing all they have to do is to stretch out their wings and fly. Nature sees no evil doings. The bird below certainly is not worried about the next berry to eat or how he or she looks to the other birdies. Birds soar among the clouds and they have so much joy. I think I would like to spend a day as a bird. But just a day.

I am working on a bunch of nature themed paintings. The bird below is available at my shop Between The Weeds. Please stop in. Check out all the wonderful nature related work I have for sale there.

Living life in reverse.

“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.

Vermont Watercolor Landscape Painting Trees Woodland Fairy Forest

Vermont scenic landscape watercolor painting is of the trees in a woodland fairy forest. This original is for sale by Laurie Rohner.

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.

Painted on a specially treated watercolor cradled panel.
My watercolor is painted much like an oil painting, but now this artwork is for sale without the need of glass, what a fabulous concept. Painting is on a special treated panel with a 2″ band of wood around the panel. The panel is protected with a fixative and ready to hang without the need of glass or glazing.

Palette: earth brown, deep green, golden yellow, leaf green, sky blue, bark brown, payne gray, sage green.
