Description
Riding Into the Unknown is a bold, expressive painting about courage, hope, and choosing to create in uncertain times. A horse and rider move forward through a layered landscape, guided by birds and instinct rather than certainty.
Painted as the final piece in my 31 in 31 daily painting practice, this work reflects a month of showing up, trusting the process, and resisting the pull to make only what feels safe or marketable. The marks are loose, intentional, and human—built through layers, drips, and oil pastel lines that echo motion and resolve.
This painting is about movement, resistance, and the quiet power of continuing on.
You can read more about this piece on the blog.
Please note: All paintings created in the 2026 31 in 31 will be featured in our gallery exhibition on February 21 and will not be available for shipping or pickup until after the close of the show.

Rebecca Olinde – Louisiana, USA
“ NOT JUST WEDDINGS…We used Denise for a MARDI GRAS ball live artist when my husband was king. She is super talented, easy to work with, responds quickly to scheduling questions. She can even made notecards for a bride’s gift of the brides painting. Super smooth transaction. She comes highly recommended. ”
Mary – Louisiana, USA
“ Denise’s impressionistic interpretation of a live event is nothing less than stunning. With paint brush or pallet knife in hand she turns an event into a lovely reminder of a special time in a persons life. With her sparkling personality she adds to the entertainment aspect of a live painting. Many people have not ever seen a person create a painting and love watching an artist in action. A great addition to any event. ”
Catherine – Louisiana, USA
“ CANNOT say enough great things about Denise! Absolutely stunning work and definitely one of the highlights of our wedding for our guests was watching her creation come to life! Now it sits in our home as an incredible reminder of the best day ever THANK YOU.
Kristen- Louisiana, USA
“ I would like to take a moment to acknowledge Denise and her talent. We chose Denise as our live wedding painter and could not have been happier with our choice (and I am extremely picky). She did an amazing job at capturing our guests, the second line band, and the venue. She has a keen eye and puts that to her paintings. It will be a piece we cherish for the rest of our lives. Denise herself is also very kind and has great energy. Our 3 flower girls gravitated to her right away. ”
