My latest artwork - my first acrylic horse painting.


This original acrylic horse painting I did last night is now listed on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290380157555 I've also included a gallery of my horse paintings, seems I'm doing a lot of horses, don't know why. Though this is my first acrylic, the others have been watercolor.
It's an ACEO - 2.5x3.5" on Canson canva-paper.

Zazzle Christmas Special - 60% off art prints/posters



Today's special on Zazzle is for 60% off art prints and posters.

To celebrate I created a triptych (set 3) posters of my first series of alphabet ACEOs - all made using a book from the 1800s. This special is almost like buying one, and getting the other 2 free.

Would look really great framed and hanging as a set.

Binder for ACEO collections - my design!



Just created my first binder for sale on Zazzle.
Of course it HAD to be for ACEO collections (just add trading card sleeves).
I used images of my original ACEO collage alphabet series images, so HAD to call it A-Z.

Need something to store your ACEOs in?

Great gifts for Christmas - very unique.
Despite being on a commercial site, these are printed on demand. NOT mass-produced.

The painting progresses ...



I may crop about 1" or so off the top, and an inch off the bottom. Several more hours work done, and many more to go!



A close up. Many unfinished parts.

"Wash House Whores" watercolor painting in progress.



First time I've done a larger watercolor in several years. My inspiration is two wonderful women who constantly are part of dress-up re-enactments of the old west in a nearby historic town. This was at a special event, where they guarded the 'wash house'.

So is from photo studies I took.
It's about 14" x 22". I'm thinking of possibly entering some competitions with it. I just got downsized from my job (the 5th downsize in 20 months :( ).

This is not easy to photograph - so bear with me.
