“City Park Egret”8×8, oil on canvas, $100 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/city-park-egret/349309”] Buy Now[/button] When I first set out to pursue art whole-heartedly in April 2014, my game plan was to create a series of videos– painting demos. I tried to make a few but was eventually scared off by their amateur nature. I know nothing about lighting, have no special […]

The Grass is Always Greener when Roosters Roam the Lawn

                              “Backyard Rooster” 12×12 oil on canvas, $150.00 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/backyard-rooster/335762″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] For about five years now, I’ve browsed local real estate listings daily on my phone. Sometimes I look multiple times a day just to see if anything new has entered […]

Reframing Normal when Motherhood isn’t Unicorns and Rainbows

 “View from the Front Seat” 8×8, oil on canvas   I think I know more pregnant people at this very moment that I have ever known in my life. Not only am I going to be an aunt (times two!) but at every holiday party this season or run-in with a friend or acquaintance there […]

Perfectionism and Art: When Worlds Collide

“Blue Eyes” 8×8 oil on canvas SOLD   What is the relationship between perfectionism and art? Allow me to digress for a moment and then come back to that. In junior high my cousin Jacqueline and I filled journals with pictures we cut out of teen bop magazine and quotes we got from God-knows-where since […]

Mother and Child Art

“Embraced” 6×6, oil on canvas, $75 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/embraced/293115″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] Another one. This time less obviously religious. I think I’ll be paining mother and child art for a while.

Driving the World’s Longest Bridge

“Open Arms” 8×8, oil on canvas, $100 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/open-arms/292945″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] SOLD My eighth grade teacher made us memorize poems– everything from Tennyson to Shel Silverstein. I know all the words to the one that’s been on repeat in my mind for about a day now. This painting isn’t exactly about the poem. I drove […]

A Very November Christmas

“Advent” 8×8, oil on gallery wrapped canvas, $100 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/advent/292408″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] SOLD Four days before Thanksgiving and the lights on the main road have been up for weeks now.  The last thing anyone needs is another Thanksgiving lament– how each year it is more and more overshadowed by Christmas. And although the middle child […]

On Suffering, Joy

“Sorrow” 6×6, oil on canvas,  $75 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/sorrow/290618″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] I’m enjoying these Mary paintings perhaps even more than my birds.  Again, this one is based on a statue, but the statue’s eyes didn’t have irises; adding them changes things quite a bit. I love the freedom of worrying only about the emotion, shape, and color and […]
