(comment “sold” on instagram to purchase https://www.instagram.com/stephaniehockart/)
I was coming out of the grocery store the other night, right as the setting sun was painting the peaks with the most beautiful gold and pink hues. It took my breath away (as it often does). A man walking out next to me watched as I futilely tried to capture the magnificent scene with my phone. "There go the mountains, showing off again, eh?" he said to me as he passed. I laughed and agreed. These darn majestic mountains that surround us! Always stealing our attention and focus, peacocking around in all their brilliant colors at all seasons of the year! Making us stop in our tracks just to gawk at their beauty! I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah and I love this place so much. But Murray (my suburb of the city) is the only place the mountains look "right" to me. Looking at the peaks (that are as familiar to me as the faces of family) makes me feel safe and home. I love where I live.

In February, I’m challenging myself to do a painting EVERY DAY!! The paintings will explore the theme of love stories- romantic love, parental love, self-love, love for nature, etc. As some of my favorite artists said, “in the end the love you give is equal to the love you make.” Therefore, I will always be on a quest to fill the world with as much love as I can. You’ll be able to see all the paintings at #lovestoriesstephhock.
Here’s how it will work: every painting will be available on a first come, first serve basis. Because they will each go to the first person to comment “sold,” you’ll want to turn on your push notifications so you can be notified each time I post a new painting! They’ll all be 6x6 inches and cost $185 each (plus tax and shipping.) Once a painting is claimed, you’ll see “🔴 SOLD” at the beginning of the caption (you can always claim second or third place in line in case the first sale doesn’t work out). Happy month of LOVE! ❤️
