Dr.Pia Salk...Spokesperson for Adopt-A-Pet

Let me introduce you to Dr.Pia Salk, she is one of the nicest people I have met on the internet, her love for helping animals is heartfelt and amazing, I really respect and admire her.

Dr.Pia is also a writer and the spokesperson for Adopt-A-Pet.com, North America's largest non-profit pet adoption website. She is a professor in the area of diversity and family systems and a frequent guest on national radio programs, speaking on such topics as companion animals being important members of the family. Her extensive involvement in animal rescue efforts and her expertise on animal welfare have been featured on many national shows including The Martha Stewart Show.

Check out the Adopt-A-Pet website and find it in your heart to help.

The painting of "Pickles" is Dr. Pia's dog that she saved and gave a wonderful rest of her life (Pickles had gone to doggy heaven last year) and shown here is my interpretation of Pickles in a painting.

Featured as well is a miniature painting of "Minnow" another Chihuahua that Dr. Salk has just adopted.

Thank You Dr.Pia for all you do for Pets that need help.

Oconomowoc WI. Plein Air 2010
I have to tell you these Plein Air event are a real challenge! I have to learn to paint more lose and fast...especially with the acrylics...I'm actually thinking of taking up oil painting for this.

Flowers with colors..on Yupo Paper

A while back a fellow artist friend gave me a sheet of Yupo paper. Not knowing how to use it I finally decided to try some small paintings (4 images each 2.5" x 3.5" size overall size 7.5" x  3.5") Frame them separately or as shown in a group.
Most artists using Yupo paper are watercolorists, but I used Acrylic paint for this affect. It was a challenge, but in any event I had fun getting the different technique.

For Sale: very reasonably priced, all monies will be donated to a cause

Edge of the Rock Plein Air painting Event 2010 Beloit Wisconsin

Edge of the Rock Plein Air painting Event in Beloit Wisconsin

This is my second attempt at Plein Air painting at Beloit, it's very challenging to paint on site with the weather elements and the none detail making for more of a lose style.

I'm not there yet...like I say it's a struggle to let go of detail, but the more I participate the better I will get...I'm sure of that.

Paintings are For Sale...

A wooden sign with a Fish

A new painting project for me....a wooden sign...This sign was done by my husbands friend who has a Woodworking hobby.

I painted the fish image (a type of trout) certainly a first for me, and a first painting with Rustoleum oil based paint...a challenge for me, but it got done and think it looks pretty good.

A miniature painting 2" x 3" of a Rose...this is the first flower I have ever painted, a bit difficult because of the size...it was donated to a special person.

Xmas ornaments

I'm cleaning out my studio and "making order"...it seems to be a goal that comes with age, or maybe just my daughter E. saying, "Mom what do you want me to do with your art if anything happens to you? if it's not organized I'm giving everything to the Goodwill or throw it out!" Of course no pressure there!

I ran across a ZIP file...you do remember those! and noticed I had saved a great deal of images of my arts and crafts that I had given away over the years, truly things I forgot about, and actually was thrilled to see that I had saved images.

Race Horses

This artwork was done for a Garden Flag Company, unfortunately I never got paid and now constitutes as a donation to a company that made money off of it...that was the last time this ever happened to me again, now all things are in specific writings.

*FOR SALE 11" x 14" acrylic $250.

Xmas cards

                                                                                                                          
St. Nickolas was my card in 2007 (made into a Advent Calendar.)
Sleigh Ride Home was for 2008
The gift...for me! was for 2009
All of these were on the cover of a Horse Newspaper for Christmas...
 

Christmas image in my front yard

Years ago when we moved to Wisconsin we had a huge piece of Styrofoam in the garage, but no use for it, so I painted an almost life size Saint Nikolas on a white Horse then cut it out...we then propped it up with a wooden frame under our trees and put a spotlight on it...it has been a hit ever since.

a card for UW School of Veterinary Medicine

This was a donated piece of art for the University of Wisconsin-School of Veterinary Medicine for the year 2004 usage.

Midwest Horse Fair Coloring book '97

I designed and donated this art for the cover of the Midwest Horse Fair 1997 coloring book, then to be auctioned off...the image made the cover of the coloring book but the original drawing disappeared for the auction...it made me sad to think someone took it.

Mosaic Mural Book, Le Cadeau Du Cheval "The Horse Gift"

A perfect time to have The Mural "Le Cadeau Du Cheval - The Horse Gift" in a book form, or make a life size horse, you'd be making a smaller version of the original Mural. Also can be used for a great Fundraiser, selling each page cutting it out, placing it in the proper numbered square on the mural board (pattern included) The book is around 5" x 5".

My personal donated painting is #182 "together again" a tribute to both of my two muses Ibn & ChutYa.

Holiday Season is coming soon, this would make a great addition for a Horse Lover's collection.

a Birthday Princess

A couple of years ago my dear friends daughter Taylor had a Birthday, and one of the gifts the daughter wanted, was a painting of herself as a Princess (including the colors purple and lavender) I made up a Princess costume(C) and painted her image in it...she was happy indeed...and that made me happy.

my left handed painting

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"
Thank God I did not break my hip!
I'm typing with my left fingers...and decided to try and paint with my left hand, as I have some Plein Air painting events to go to...thinking maybe painting left handed I'll come up with a uniqe style...actually not, the painting just looks like mine done a bit badly, but I do like it, I called it up and away!...I photographed this scene in Arizona while driving...lucky shot, I just pointed out the window and pressed the button.

Sympathy card for loss of a Horse

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.

Inside of card

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
