The Rose


Acryic on canvas 24x36
I stopped myself from over working this one as I really liked the feel I was achieving, and didn't want to ruin it. It took a lot of willpower to step away. These are not the colors I had intended. Please click on the image for full view to see the texture.

Porcelaine Equine Jewellry

Taking a small break from my painting to finish off some porcelain pieces for Christmas. If anyone is interested, I sell them for $49.95.Contact me if you would like to see them. ( 455-1236) Leighton Center , Studio Todorovic and the Galleria all sell my jewellry. Each piece is unique and fired in a kiln. They are accented with real crystals and the necklaces are done with ultra black swede and average 15-18 inches. It's not the best photograph...I will need to get some models...but you can gauge the size by the quarter. ( click on photo for a much larger than life view)


The Process

Each piece is created for individual expression, uniquely sculptured to reflect the inherent qualities of the porcelain clay. Hand built through various uses of slab and coil, each piece is kiln fired at least twice to 2200 degrees F, for strong durability. Texturing techniques include various materials such as lace, stamps, carving tools and handmade moulds. Each piece is fired with black stain and black gloss glaze. Accents may include Swarovski crystals.

Here's Looking At Ya

acrylic, 20x24 SOLD
commissioned. My client saw my cow painting ( Trio) at the Calyx art Show, and went to find her friend to show it to her and by the time she came back to it, it was picked up by someone else. She wanted me to paint something similar for her.

Mountain Shade

Acrylic, 14 x14 $375
Rather than the palette knife this effect was achieved by laying down the texture first...somewhat similar to David Langevin's work, although I don't use as many transparent layers as he does. I do love the textural lines that are produced.

Barrier Dam

acrylic, 9x12 , $250
We took a trip along highway 40, in the Rocky Mountains and came across this beautifull site. Still getting used to how different my paintings look when I don't use texture or the palette knife.

Glow, Equine Art

It was hard to photograph this properly as I used a lot of layers and transparencies. It looks much nicer in real life.

More cows. I painted this while working in Art Central the other day and before it was even finished I had a 'first right of refusal' request. I hope my potential client likes it finished as well as she did half done.
