I don't know how many remember that old commercial when the (beautiful) model looks at the camera and says to the viewing audience

"Don't hate me because I'm Beautiful"

I think she was selling shampoo or something.

Well, this bulldog's pose totally made me think about that commercial ......looking at the camera as if to say "Yes, yes, I am beautiful"

Transformed

The title of this piece is

"Transformed"

12 x 36

SOLD

An angel wing on canvas using antique books, hymns and love letters.  One of the hymns was called "Transformed"

The title is appropriate in two ways, because the paper has been transformed into a lovely wind, but also because this painting was finished before.  It was a highly textured wing on a brown background, but after looking at it for a bit, I decided to take it a few steps beyond, transforming it into one of my favorites!   Sometimes you only think you are finished!!

"Wild Spirit" Huge 48 x 60 acrylic on canvas

"Wild Spirit"

600.00

48 x 60

(Thats 4 feet by 5 feet!)

There are wild horses that are always on the road on the way to our cabin, just past Loon Lake.

They usually just stand around and look at you, but one day they were running!!  I was trying to get some pictures, because I was lucky enough to be in the passenger seat!  I had some huge canvases in the studio, just waiting for some inspiration. This painting came together really fast, like I was dancing with a paintbrush.  (you could tell by the floor, too....oops)

Thanks to Angela and Brenda for help with the title.

Commission '68 Camaro

I had painted a huge canvas of this car for my mural at Ulmers (see post )

The owners wife contacted me to do a smaller painting for him for Christmas.

I hope you liked it, Leon!

Blue Notes

8 x 10 mixed media
One of my favorites, nests, and some old hymns.
I chose the songs that I felt would suit the painting, His Eye is On the Sparrow,
Fully Persuaded, Sunshine and Rain and I Do Believe.

I thought this would make a beautiful wedding gift or for expectant parents.
