More Pencil Scribbles

Slowly but surely, continuing on with my pencil drawing....

Busy and cold month!

Working Hard...

While finishing up doggie commissions, I started to try and make sense of my messy studio...

One thing that I have piles of are Christmas ornaments: glass, porcelain, wooden etc. and have promised myself every year that I was going to paint some. Well, as space is getting to be a premium around here, this year looks like THE year.

Look out for cat, horse and dog ornaments to be coming your way and some giveaways here and there as well!
Here is a sneak peek for things to come.....

Pumpkin Patch Pinto

When I break from my commissions, I have been turning to my Painted Pony figurines...they have been keeping me company in the studio but its time to put the finishing touches on some designs and find them a new home.

First up is Pumpkin Patch Pinto! This fun pony is festooned with orange and white pumpkins, completed with 2 additional ground pumpkins. Finished with a number of glossy coatings.

This is an ORIGINAL one-of-a-kind custom painted pony, signed by myself, shipped in its original box.

 $125 CAD plus shipping.   Update: SOLD

Happy Gobble Day!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians! Hope your dinners were as good as mine!!

I've been intermittently working on commissions and something very "pumpkin-ee"... more in a few days, stay tuned!
