New Work - Hunter's Return

Finally, I got one finished!  His mate will follow as soon as I finish her, too, but for now it is just him.  5x5 inches, oil on multimedia art board. 

New Work - Domestic Bliss

Hi, y'all!  I'm back!  I have something new...finally!  More centaurs!  No spring chickens this time, either.  Granma and Granpa taurs in a quiet domestic scene where he is relaxing after a long days work, just mellowing out with some wine and music and she is keeping warm by the fire and catching up on some mending.  This is a 9x12 oil on hardboard panel. 

Card Deck Cards

Things are slow all over where art sales are concerned, so, I find myself getting involved in more art projects. Besides the horse and dog breeds projects, I am also involved with the ebay art group, ACEO, in thier double deck playing cards project. Last year, they produced a single deck with the ACEO artwork of the members printed on the cards. It was a very popular project and many decks of cards were sold to the members who either gavc them as gifts or resold them. This year, it was decided to create a double deck so more artists could participate and I jumped on the chance to get in on this one. I drew the king of diamonds for my card and created this centaur king in oils as my entry. (shown much larger than lifesize of 2.5"x3.5"!)

I also entered into the competition for the 3 joker cards in the set, and although I did not win a slot, these are the cards I painted for it. The red joker is the card I entered as only one piece could actually be entered. I call these my ManJack Jokers and they are Leftovertaurs - created from the surplus parts from the creation of the centaurs...by some deity with a very strange sense of humor!
