Renee Hartig

by Eli

About a month ago I was at the Alberta Street Fair with Nate & Ingrid, and we stumbled across an artist that we really liked: Renee Hartig. She does skies and clouds in a way that truly speak to me. I really wanted to buy one of her pieces, but I just couldn’t afford it. So, I took one of her cards and left it at that.

A few weeks later I found her card sitting on my desk and thought I might as well send her an email, just letting her know that I appreciated her art. She wrote back thanking me, but also saying that she’d followed a link in my email “signature,” found a photo that I took in Tasmania, and wanted to create a painting from it. Amazing. I said, “Hell Yeah.”

Here’s the photo:

And here’s the painting:
