Rosemary Dykstra, Artist

I am so happy to report I am now in a studio space where I can work on new art! You may not see frequent posts from me for a short while but it is ALL good! I still available for commissions.

Happy birthday Sandra Sink!

Just completed and hung this large commissioned piece entitled “Winter’s Beauty”.

Announced today!

I will be sharing studio space with these talented artists starting in December. Go support their amazing work and look for more Open Studios at this location in the future!
Special pricing will be offered during this event.

I’m working on a large commission right now, but wanted to stop and take a minute or two just to share a few pieces that I went back to work on. This often happens. You look at a work and realize that it needs just a little bit more that’s half the fun of it! Most of these are small works except for the first one which is a 36 x 48 on canvas. Contact me if interested.

Mark your calendars for Artisan’s Day at Traditions Interiors! There will be a lovely variety of local food and art. I will have many small works to choose from. These will make great gifts for friends and family.

Chris Valanne, bet you get this!!!

Continuing my play with pinks this weekend! No, I haven’t seen the Barbie movie yet…

Working on this fun piece! It is certainly not finished, but thought I’d share it now and again when I feel it’s finished. What do you think? Art is my happy place.

How about these framed and grouped together on a wall in your home? Fun, colorful and original! DMe for purchase information.

These would look amazing hung together I’m matching frames! DMe for purchase information.

I am excited to post a few small works of joy. I have a number of these 5 x 7 pieces matted and ready to be placed in 8 x 10 frames of your choice. Grouping a number of these together on a prominent wall looks stunning. Over the next few days I’m going to post just a few of these. Here is the first small grouping that just so happen to be in frames.

Pleased to share that this piece (originally posted 4 days ago) just went to a good home!

Not the best photo but this piece is framed and ready to go! 8 x 10 matted. With frame, $150. Contact artist to purchase.

This is definitely Skipper!

I’m home from a fabulous time in the mountains of creativity and porch sitting staring at the beautiful views. Thank you Sparta! Here are a few more pieces I completed.

Working on this new picture. It is certainly not finished yet but I’m enjoying using a number of the principles I’ve been learning. It is acrylic and 48 x36.
