Commission Just finished


I just finished painting this mare for a friend's daughter's birthday. She wanted her horse painted on the front of a jewelry box. "Baby" is a very sweet mare. I enjoyed painting her! I know Meredith with love this jewelry box with her mare on it.

This is my latest listing on Etsy. I have been painting and drawing all afternoon. I took a quick break from painting on a jewelry box and drew this fresian aceo. I have been wanting to paint and draw for awhile, but had to finish rearranging my painting studio. Now that is done, I feel I can really do what I want to now!

Beautiful Day here in Virginia!

Today was just as nice here as could be! It was in the 60's, which is fantastic for the beginning of Febuary! I finally was able to get to the stables and go for a horse ride! My horse's name is Wyatt,an 8yr old, 17h Spotted Tennessee Walking Horse. We have had him since he was 22mo. old. He was slow to mature, so I didn't ride him a whole lot, just to remind him of his manners and his lessons.
He has turned out to be a very nice mannered, sane horse! I rode on trail with a friend at the stables. He also has a TWH and the two got along great. We crossed ditches, passed Nutreas in some of the water ditches, saw some deer and managed to not have the horses jump out of their skins!
It felt so good to get out in my saddle again, it has been quite a few months since I was able to saddle up my horse!
Since the weather was so nice today, it is something to be treasured, a gift! It was the nicest ride in a good long time! So this will be a great memory.

Our Website has 175 new photos!


Our website had added 175 photos in the photo gallery! Please check them out and let me know what you think!!
This is a partial view of 15 years of murals and shows! I will be adding more pictures in a couple of days, my fingers are worn out!!
Looking back at all of these pictures, I just have to laugh. One day my mom and I were painting all day, my mom told me "to put more dimension on that section". Only it came out as "put more demensia on that section"! We laughed so hard at that, now we tell all of our customers, that we have demensia in all of our work!! So when I look at our photos, I am remembering things like that!
We enjoy what we do, and our customers are always saying that they can hear us laughing! We have always said, that when it becomes work, we will stop. We are not stopping yet!
