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"
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.| Don't mourn for me Dear owner, kind and true. I know that you will miss me As I will also think of you. We shared so many secrets; those you whispered in my ear. I've kept those secrets for you lest any one would hear. And in return you've kept me from being turned out in the cold. You've fed, watered, & cared for me while we both grew old. But God had called & needs me; He says that it is time I claim that sweet reward in a kinder, greener clime. | He promises sweeter clover, clear water, rich and pure I'll never have to suffer from wounds that humans cannot cure. I'll romp and play all day with others he has called hither. I'll have so many new friends that will scratch upon my wither. I'll be watching out for you when comes your judgment day and together towards the pearly gates we again will ride away! author unknown |
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.
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 designs 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
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.
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.
Several years ago I was asked to donated my artistic imagination in creating a design on an old chair and a wooden rocking horse...It was for the Hospital in Columbus, Wisconsin....I must say I enjoyed painting these two items...the chair brought in the highest bid and the rocking horse also had a high bid...I was happy that it was good for the Hospital Benefit.
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.
Here are samples of small Rocks, most one inch long. I have done hundreds of them...don't know if it was worth the time and energy to paint all that detail onto a rock, but that's what people asked for...just hope they didn't loose them or left them out in the rain, saying that, I just found three 1" rocks in a pot in the garden that have been outside for 5 years or better, surprisingly the images are still intact.
These are from the past, so I will start with this art form and continue on to styles and different mediums...the first images are of some rocks that I have painted...I have been known to paint on anything that doesn't move, but then I have also painted on things that move! So nothing is safe from my expressions in the art form.Images shown are on large rocks, approximatley 9" - 10" long, painted with acrylic paints...
