Tones & Themes: Forest Greens, Dreamlike Woodland Stream, Cornflower Blue, Mystical Forest, Impressionist Fairy Landscape.

Why I Love It: A soft woodland landscape marks the turn toward early spring. Created in chalk pastel, this piece layers flowing greens, cool blues, and warm ochres to suggest dense foliage and a gently moving stream beneath a pale, opening sky. The painterly strokes remain loose and textural, giving the scene a sense of motion and quiet depth.

My Art Inspiration:  The original of this painting was inspired by a mystical dream of woodlands, which I long for during Imbolc, or the marking of the beginning of Spring in the northern hemisphere.

This piece, which I made en plein air in Marseille at Parc Valmer, brings me a true feeling of peace and contentment. It's a perfect colorful, magical yet subtle forest landscape to add to your space. I recommend size Hiroban (20×30”), for the most beautiful display.

ART PRINT
Printed on museum-quality Somerset® Velvet paper, this piece has a soft, textured surface that echoes the original pastel painting. Prints can be finished with a hand-torn deckled edge (US only)—a nod to the torn-edge paper I use when creating the originals.

SIZE
Giclée paper prints are available in sizes starting with Petite (6×9”) and going up to Grand (20×30”)—a striking size for spacious, light-filled rooms. For alternative (below) or European dimensions, please reach out to me directly.

BORDER STYLE OPTIONS
You may choose the border and edge style that best fits your space and how you plan to frame the piece.

Edge Style
Choose between a straight-cut edge or a hand-torn deckled edge (US only).

The straight-cut edge offers a clean, contemporary look—refined and ready for traditional framing.
The hand-torn deckled edge lends a soft, sculptural quality, echoing the gentle irregularity of handmade paper. It’s a beautiful choice for float mounting or for those who love an artisan finish.

Border Width
Each edge style is available with either a ½-inch or 2-inch white border.

The ½-inch border provides a subtle margin—minimal and modern.
The 2-inch border offers a more classic presentation, reminiscent of fine art matting, and gives the piece room to breathe within the frame (perfect for those not wishing to mat their art print).

FRAMING
I’ve partnered with Simply Framed to offer a range of high-quality natural wood and antique-style frames tailored for these prints. Framing options will be available soon.

ORIGINAL ART DETAILS
This chalk pastel painting was created to honor my time spent living in New Orleans. I mainly use chalk pastels from senneliers and a variety of papers including heavyweight canson and arches.
