This is slightly rough thick hand made paper.

It is unframed wrapped and ships in a flat mailer.

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.

Nature does not hurry at Between The Weeds.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. Lao Tzu

Today at Between The Weeds I would like to share with you one of the new watercolor painting I have just completed. I had hoped to share this new work with you for Mother’s Day. Then one day I looked at this quote I have scribbled on my studio table and was reminded all things happen in their own time. A leaf does not worry about not opening because it is May it opens when it is ready. Slowly I am learning to work within the space where nature exists. We forget is even there.

This is an original watercolor of a woodland garden with bees and a hint of the sky. You can buy it at Between The Weeds or at Laurie Rohner Studio.

Watercolor nature art painting, botanical garden wildflowers and bees buzzing among the flowers is a detailed original garden botanical wildflower painting by Laurie Rohner.

Get a fun whimsical feeling with my artwork? I love the happy little smile on my face when I look at my illustration of wildflowers and garden flowers with a few bees in watercolor and pen. There is a blush of blue sky hinting at a summer’s day. It is cheery and guarantees a better mood. These are flowers from my gardens in Vermont.

Very whimsical woodland garden botanical artwork for any style of home but can’t you see it framed in a shabby chic frame on a farmhouse wall?

This morning I asked and listened.

Image from positive-notes.tumblr.com

It is rare for me to get a crystal clear message from the divine self yet on an occasion or two I have been so unbelievably fortunate to be inspired with a message with clarity no one could ignore. We all have growth spurts when we are young. This morning I had a spiritual growth spurt. I woke up with the understand about where I was heading and the message was received with amazing clarity, I could have no doubt.

I wrestle with the question what is my purpose all the time. Age is not a prerequisite for that question. Today it flashes over everything. Find your purpose. Are you on the right path? Do you do what you love? in your job? in your life? The questions is exhausting and confusing.

Struggling and finding your own way is life. Doing it the way you are meant to is confusing, things change and your feelings change. How do you figure it all out?

Listening. It is the only way to have any growth any awareness and any awakening in life. Today, it has been a very long time since I have really listened, I heard an answer. The answer to my question was… oops that was my answer you are going to have to listen for your own.

Nature Art Watercolor by Laurie Rohner

That is exactly my point, no matter how many people tell you what they think is the answer you and you alone have to hear a response for your own question. For as many different people in this world, no two alike, is the response to your purpose in your life and each life purpose is as different. Money friends family jobs community religion business status awards mean absolutely not a thing so stop putting them into your equation. They are the outcome from a life lived correctly.

One clue I can give you is stop asking is this _________. (fill in the blank) Accept the road you are on and keep heading down it. You can always change direction take another path. Your life is lived from the core of your being, the divine spark inside. It is from that spark of light the answer will be heard, so listen and keep listening until you hear an amazing life altering answer. Could be huge and epic or small and beautiful. Keep listening I assure you it is worth it.

These are my original designs and I hand paint each piece.

Woodland Fairy House for your spring gardens.

Once upon a time fairies created a fairy house for your garden or cottage and gave it to me to sell in my shop Between The Weeds. Woodland Fairies were delighted with what the fairies created. Think of the happy joyful energy that will surround your home and your life when you add this fairy cottage to your house.

Woodland Fairy House

Garden fairy house is a custom made woodland cottage enchanted with moss fern twigs and branches. Hand sculpted woodland fairy house for a garden or cottage. My woodland garden fairy house comes furnished with custom fairy sized woodland furniture.

Side with birdhouse and fern on woodland fairy house.

Moss, ferns, bark and branches make up the structure but you also get a bench or settee with a side table. On the outside is a bird house tucked into the crest of the house and on the other side is moss and bark. You also find a wicker awning. There are stones, shells, pebbles, lichen and clear globes for the fairies to light with their magic. This cottage fairy house is ready for your touches to make it very special and personal. Delight for all ages.
Note: All my houses blessed by a fairy.

Measures: 10″w x 9.5″h x 7.5″d.
Weighs: 3lbs

♥Words from another fairy house owner:
Beautiful fairy house! The packaging was lovely, thanks a lot!

These are my original designs and I hand craft each piece for my woodland fairy houses..

Adding value to other people’s lives with painted nature boxes.

“Most people are so stuck in their egos that everything revolves around me, me, and more me. But if you want to be rich in the truest sense of the word, it can’t only be about you. It has to include adding value to other people’s lives.”

- T. Harv Eker, motivational speaker and best-selling author.

With each creation I make and paint I add some part of myself creating the work. I create to bring nature into our lives through functional art. I find a special energy in a work that is hand-made and  hand painted with the intent to bring pleasure to someone else. Whether the artist creates the work for you or for a gift for you to give to a special person in your life it is created from an act of love. The love the artist gives making the work flows then to the person that is buying the work and on and on it goes. What a nice way to think when you are browsing through sites and looking for gifts. Think about who made it was it made with love from an artist  or a large impersonal corporation. Are you adding value to the life of the person buying or receiving the work?

I have added this lovely new large painted nature box to my shop with the intent it would enhance and add to your life. I give to the work and then send it on for another to add to their lives. Could life be any better? Check out all the nature and love inspired work in my shop at Between The Weeds.

Painted Nature Box Woodland Botanical Garden

Custom made painted nature furniture, my handmade painted nature storage box is painted with woodland botanical garden flowers in greens and whites by Laurie Rohner. I painted the poplar wood a lovely shade of the softest creamy gray taupe white. I love this base color. To compliment the color I decided to use a subtle simple design with greens and white flowers that cascade down the front. The botanical woodland flowers are from hydrangea to Queen Ann’s Lace and Lily of the Valley. Easily compliments farmhouse cottage or loft decors.

Display it on a chest of drawers or table. Stuff it with journals or scarves or even in the bath with toiletries.

Great gift for the bride or wedding couple. Give it to your Mom for all the family memories. Makes a great housewarming and birthday gift,too.

Palette: dark green, olive, leaf green, white, cream, light pewter gray.

Measures:outside 14.75″ x 11.5″ x 8″ high. inside 12.75″ x 9.75″ x 6.5″ high.
The sides of this nature box are 1/2 stock poplar with mortised hinges.

The design is sketched on my own hand crafted wood keepsake box. I hand paint and add my signature line work. Each box is a one of a kind work. I do not use stencils transfers or prints and they are always my original work. A functional piece of art can easily fit any decor from traditional funky whimsical or of course farmhouse.

Every piece is signed and dated.
Hours to complete 7 1/2hrs
Ready to ship.
