I had the pleasure of donating my illustrations for the inside of a book, the "Mystery at Silver Key Stables" written by a young girl named Alexandra Gritta .
Since my right hand is in a brace, I was going to paint my pARTy painting (reference photo by Linda Shantz)with my left hand...well I decided to use my right hand instead and give myself 'one hour' by timer, just seeing what I will come up with...finishing after an agonizing hour, I decided it was ok and finished, although different from my norm artworks it was good to see that it was not too tight...admittedly a struggle but I managed, but am suffering this morning.
This might be an indication I'm getting old! I fell again for the third time in two months, this time fracturing my "right artist wrist"
Here again is my contributing painting for the "The Virtual pARTy Project" reference photo by Kim Santini this was to be done in 24 hours...I had 4 hours to give to this, but enjoyed painting this grazing horse, seems this project is the only horsie painting I've been doing lately...except for my last childhood memory painting blog, me on a Police horse.
Since I paint ACEO cards and Miniature art, I have always wanted a place to store my cards, so I made several one of a kind boxes with decoupage images from some of my paintings.JPG)
This mural is my foyer front door, it is a steel door and was very dark at one time, so I painted it light in color and added the mural to lighten up the foyer...I'm getting ready to also repaint this area.
This is one of the paintings I did for HoofPrints.com, it's a Sympathy card called "into the Pearly Gates" representing the loss of your horse, inside is a beautiful poem. These cards can be purchased through me or HoofPrints.
This Plein Air painting was also done at the Park in Beloit, of a Lion drinking fountain...I donated this painting for Auction at the Friends of River Front in Beloit WI.
I have been
I participated in an online painting party...Belmont Stakes Virtual Party my interpretation of the photograph by Juliet Harrison is shown...this is a 4" x 6" acrylic painting.
I originally had this painting FOR SALE for a reasonable $50.00 but now wish to offer this for an amount you wish to pay.
Please Note: the money I make from this painting will be donated to Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society or T-bars
Two paintings of my Muses, Ibn and ChutYanna featured in two miniature paintings donated to the Pyramid Society Auction (Arabian Horses) several years back...unfortunately the Arabian with Peacock feathers is missing, the other one was sold.
If you are a fan of cafepress you will find several of my shops featuring many desings and products, including the bag with an Andalusian Horse at
This painting was done after 9-11, it is named "Peace I leave with you" John 14:27
These paintings where done for prints to be raffled
I designed the buck stitch image on the saddle for Borne' Saddlery, the image is of a Friesian Horse sporting a rhinestone eye. I have also designed for Borne' website images, images for sweatshirts and advertisments.
My mailbox that I painted about 8 years ago. Featuring a horse, dog, cat and bird...something for everyone, two different paintings on each side of the mailbox.
When my hubby went on his yearly golfing trip, I decided to strip the wallpaper in his bathroom...the texture of the walls reminded me of a Fresco, so decided to paint a mural on the large wall, hoping it might resemble an old time painting, like a Fresco. I chose a scene from a photo I took in Austria at The Melk Benedictine Abbey, I also marbled everything including the top of the toilet seat.
My friend that I painted the Fireplace Mantle for, asked me to paint on a very large Memorial Rock that was for her father. I used the image of the Dove and Hands that where on the Sympathy card I had sent...this because they liked it so much. After a couple of years the image pealed off because the rock was very rough, it is on the top of a hill near woods and was very exposed to the seasons. So I repainted the image on a metal plaque, and it is hung there on the same spot. 
A friend of mine asked me to paint her Fireplace Mantle, wanting the look of marble...she also wanted me to add my signature Angels somewhere, so on the side of the Fireplace I painted a couple cherubs.
I painted this egg for myself to decorate my Easter table, unfortunately I dropped the egg and it cracked, this photo shows the side not too badly damaged. Look closely and you will see the crack above the lamb.
These horse images are all on one egg, it was done for a gift...lots of "stuff" on one egg, makes me think "what the heck was I doing?" 
Althoug I enjoy painting on eggs...I dislike blowing them out! Finding that wooden eggs are much better to paint on, and you don't have to worry about the fragility of a real egg.
