"Baby Centaur"

"Turquois Halter"

New Work - Three Amigos

Here's a fun new ACEO of three black and white paint horses, one a tovero pattern, one tobiano, and the youngster an overo. 

New Work - "Hallowhinny"

This is a new ACEO for Halloween!  "Hallowhinny' is a demonically possessed horse skelly determined to scare all the kiddies at Trick or Treat into dropping thier nights plunder so that he, Hallowhinny, will have ALL the treats to himself! 

Dog Breeds - Yellow Labrador Retriever

I started this one a while back, along with a few other pieces for the differant projects, but, kept setting it aside to do other work, so, I finally finished it off. This is also an ACEO oil on birch, 2.5"x3.5". This is lifesized and a detail closeup.

New Work - Beautiful

I just finished this one today, another arabian horse! It will go up for auction on ebay at noon cst. for a 3 day listing. This is an oil ACEO on birch, 2.5"x3.5". This is shown life-sized and a close-up.

New Work - Silver

This is a new ACEO oil painting of a pure white, arabian I call Silver. This little painting ended up being repainted 3 times because each time I thought it was finished, I found something to fix! I am happy with him now, but, I had moments when I thought he wouldn't make it and would have to be 'put down'!

New Work - Fantasy & Equine ACEOs

I just finished up these two art cards and listed them on ebay. The first is a pretty sorrel foal investigating an old fallen tree. "Sorrel Foal"

This second is a cute little centaur girl playing games with her favorite doll. "Playing Make-Believe".

These art cards are miniature artworks in trading card format of 2.5"x3.5", and, these two are done in oils on 3/16" thick gessoed birch wood panels.

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"!)

"King of Diamonds" 2.5"x3.5" oil

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!

"ManJack Joker" 2.5"x3.5" oil (shown larger than lifesize)

"ManJack Joker Running" 2.5"x3.5" oil (near lifesize)

More new work this week includes another appaloosa horse painting, another ACEO card.
