This invitation is from one of my own kayaking photos

Lakeside Family Reunion Camping Potluck Barbecue Invitation

Mockup display of a weekend camping family reunion invitation. This lakeside family reunion invitation was created from my own personal kayaking photograph and features a beautiful nature scene with lightly rippled but calm water reflecting distant evergreens, cedar trees and rock structures, from the perspective of a paddler kayaking or canoeing on the lake or a hiker on the shoreline. The overall color theme is evergreen. Background scene for the mockup is a glowing wood campfire burning in a metal fire pit.

Vintage art, pink purslane, Art Nouveau-style details. Elegant Victorian-inspired text tells the folklore of the wildflower.

👉https://fineartamerica.com/featured/pink-purslane-folklore-vintage-design-heather-benedict.html

#BuyIntoArt #DigitalPainting #art #FloralArt #VintageStyle #ArtForSale

Ornate, vintage aesthetic design featuring vibrant pink purslane wildflowers intertwined with ornamental floral and vine patterns in an earthy purple color. Antique, Victorian-inspired decorative text details the folklore and legend of the plant's protective properties. Art Nouveau-inspired border elements complete this elegant poster-style artwork.

At the bottom of the artwork image is a wide black band. Written in the band is the title of the art, the name of the artist, Heather Benedict, and the link to purchase a print of the art on the website Fine Art America.

The barn stands as it did in remembered mornings, wood weathered by time; boards keeping count of seasons. The tin roof catching the first thin light. The Oak stretched wide, moss swaying softly as if acknowledging another day. The dirt trail beneath guided footsteps toward the open fence, revealing fields washed in early light. Morning stirs through the scene, a hush before attending to the day’s chores. Birds take flight, the breeze cool, as the day awakens slowly with the sun. There was the gentle comfort of an old dawn, a familiar rhythm reminding that life, in its simplest ways, could unfold quietly, patiently, and without hurry.

@irisknowsart.bsky.social Holidays take a big chunk out of studio time. I use the little time I have to reorganize my studio.
It's time I map out my art projects for the year ahead.
