Christmas is coming...

I've been working hard this week on some new Christmas horses. I'm probably not going to put them on Ebay until next week, maybe even after Thanksgiving. I'm working on two horses kissing under mistletoe and a horse decorating the Christmas tree with a cat. Here's the other three I've completed this week.
The Saddlebred is currently on ebay...

That Fjord is so cute, I wanna kiss him on his soft nose:)

New, new, new!

I have 3 new pieces listed on Ebay and a great new horse treasury on Etsy! Thought I would go back to basics with a few signs and just focus on the beauty of the horse without fussing around with a background. I think they turned out well.

Finally able to paint something...

With the husband back at his teaching job it's been hard to get anything painted. I spent part of Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday getting a few things done for Ebay while he watched our daughter. I'm really happy with the way my witch sign turned out. I usually do the lettering at the top but the other day while I was trying to fall asleep, I had the idea to use the top of the sign for the moon and put the lettering on the bottom. I'm working on another piece like this one but with a raven in place of the witch. I think I will write something like "Raven's Caw Cafe" at the bottom. I also would like to work on some black cat pieces this week too and I have a few requests to get to as well. Not sure how much time I will get to paint during the week.
Okay, here are the new pieces, just added to Ebay. Three day auctions so act fast:)
Now off to make some yummy turkey chili for dinner!

New Additions

I've had so much wonderful time to paint, thanks to my dear husband:)
I thought I would work on some light hearted, whimsical signs as well as a more realistic dressage horse sign. All are currently on ebay.






Next week is a very exciting one for me. I'm starting an equine painting workshop taught by a member of the American Academy of Equine Artists. The class is being offered at the Grebinger Gallery which is only about 5 minutes from my house. The instructor, Stephen Leed, was teaching a class on song bird painting last winter and I asked the gallery owners if he would teach a horse painting class. To my surprise they said yes and I enrolled right away. I am excited and a little bit nervous too. The class is in oils and I haven't played around with oils in over 10 years. It should be fun and I will hopefully learn a lot. We'll see!
