About this Product
Imagine a beautiful landscape with a calm lake surrounded by lush green hills. In the middle of the lake, a sailboat peacefully glides along, its white sails catching the breeze. The scene is incredibly serene and tranquil.
This summer at the lake landscape makes a great choice for minimalists by embodying simplicity, tranquility, and the timeless beauty of nature in a way that aligns with the minimalist principles of clarity and restraint. It not only adds a touch of warm summer charm to any space but also brings a sense of serenity and relaxation. Its carefully crafted depiction of an enjoyable summer day at the lake invites the homeowners to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the calming beauty of the water.
Whether displayed in a living room, bedroom, or office, it serves as a reminder to pause, breathe, and appreciate life's simple pleasures. As a thoughtful housewarming gift, it symbolizes wishes for peace, happiness, and countless cherished memories in the new home. This piece is perfect for display on a wall or on a stand (I have included a small easel for you), and is sure to be admired by anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.
It measures just 5" x 7" and comes to you ready to frame in the color and style that you desire. It is mounted on an acid free mat center and a black and white double mat.
All my items are handmade by me in a smoke free home. We have one resident kitty so be sure to let me know if you are allergic when ordering.
Dawn Andersen Creations
Meet the Maker
Hello and welcome to my shop. I’m glad you stopped by. My name is Dawn and I have been creating in one form or another for more than 40 years.
When I was a young girl, maybe 10 years old, my grandma tried to teach me how to knit and crochet. Let's just say it didn't work out quite the way we would have liked. When I was a bit older and out on my own I decided to try my hand at quilting. It had to be easier, probably because it didn't matter that I was left-handed...unlike knitting and crocheting.
Today I specialize in artisan Christmas ornaments and contemporary, handcrafted art that is inspired by nature. I grew up in the heart of the Adirondacks in New York state, spent a few years in Hawaii, and now live on 14 acres of woods in the middle of nowhere.
How it’s Made
I currently create all my artwork using a 1941 Singer 201-2 Blackside sewing machine that I restored after it spent many years in a storage shed. Unlike the standard Singer sewing machines, many of the normally bright plated parts utilized a chemically blacked finish instead. This is thought to have been in response to shortages of nickel and chromium due to world war II. All it requires is a regular oiling every week or so. The beauty of a machine like this is the ability to handle almost all of the maintenance myself.
I use batiks and hand painted fabric to create my landscape art. I save all the small pieces and use them to create mosaic artwork. This results in very little waste but lots and lots of bags of scraps.
