First Applejack Picture

At the end of the summer I was lucky enough to sign a two-year contract with Applejack Art Partners, a licensing company in Vermont. The sole requirement of the first picture they asked me to create needed to have "cardinals and birdhouses." This is what I came up with. It is barely over 11"x14".

Lipizzan

Over the summer I had an opportunity to participate in an art show sponsored by Horses In The Summer (HITS) which is an annual horse show held in my hometown of Saugerties, New York. This is the piece I entered.

More Gallery Work

When we moved from Pennsylvania to New York last April I had brought all of the work I had hanging at the Jean Bonnett Tavern gallery in Bedford, Pennsylvania with me. I just received a call from the woman who runs the shop that a couple who had been passing through last year returned this year and specifically requested for one of my Mailpouch Barn images! So I will be sending this pic out to the gallery tomorrow morning.

New Gallery

Yesterday I took several pictures to a new gallery up in Woodstock that was very interested in my work. The gallery is Lotus Fine Art & Design, and they are located in Woodstock, which is a few miles from my new home in Saugerties.

This morning I received a call from the gallery. They already sold my first painting! This is the picture that was sold.

Nature Police

School is finally done and I am back home for the summer ! However I wanted to share one of the pictures I worked on last semester.

This picture was a personal, self-chosen assignment. We were allowed to pick literally anything we wanted to work on. I have always had a soft spot for flamingos in my heart, and they work great in fabric because of the pink, so I thought why not? I also wanted to take a bit more of a light-hearted approach, so in this picture the flamingo is trying to get the girl to put her bikini top back on.
