Hi, I'm Lena

I am a mostly a self-taught artist.

I live, breathe, and dream about different paintings all the time. I especially love painting Sunflowers and Poppies from my garden. I usually paint from memories and visions in my mind. I paint for myself...I just have to! I have been wanting to share my art online here since I started selling on ebay over 14 years ago!
 
But, I found myself going off that path, and I put that dream on hold, unfortunately, a bit too long! Time goes by ever so fast, and every year goes by quicker. And here I am holding my breath - that I am making the right decision to share my art work with you, and the world. It's such a scary thing for me to do! I finally have gotten up the nerve to show, share and sell my paintings.
 
I am rather shy and like most artists I am highly critical of my work. It is difficult sometimes to say that a painting is completed. Some canvasses have about ten or so different versions of what I'm trying to say! A lot of people say I paint Happy Paintings!
 
I hope you will like my paintings!
