Live Painting at The Plaid Peacock

It was a magical day.

On June 14, I painted live at The Plaid Peacock in Ladysmith, Wisconsin — surrounded by color, conversation, and community. The energy was incredible, and the painting came to life right in the heart of the store.

The finished piece features the fabulous Sharon (store owner and local legend), surrounded by her favorite things: bicycles, flowers, and peacock feathers. 💐🚲🪶

In Sharon’s words:

Michelle, It turned out absolutely beautifully! The entire experience was amazing!

To be involved with the planning and photo shoot, to seeing your vision come to life! That coupled with you painting live and allowing my customers watch you work on it live at the shop made it more special!!

You are truly so gifted… this is something I will always remember!

Thank you, my friend!
