©2012 "Purdy" 

Just like most of the USA, we've been in a deep freeze for what seems like forever, though here in Oklahoma it's not really been that long- it just felt like it. Finally, the cold grip has broken and warm days are on their way, the weather will be nice and "Purdy" again! So in honor of this most welcomed change, I am posting the acrylic gallery wrap 24"x18"x1.5" painting titled "Purdy". Purdy is available for purchase at $435 + s&h. Ready to hang. See you on the trails- time to saddle up!

"Live Again"

On January 30th, I lost my 28 year old niece unexpectedly. It hit my family and her parents very badly, and I as well. I live a distance away so my visits have been quite limited. Last time I saw her was at Christmas 2012. I cannot wrap my mind around that I will never see her again, get hugs, hear her laughter, see her beautiful eyes and rosy cheeks. I spent days in tearful grief, and as I've come to do, was moved to put my feelings on canvas. I had started this painting already but it soon morphed into the message I have for her- "Live Again". I know it can't come true physically, but her memory will never die. This is for you Jessica. Love you, Aunt Jonelle

"Seduction"

Spring is just around the corner; I think of pastels, bright floral colors, , new growth, new beginnings. My stallions call to the mares, and even the mares cuddle and show affection when in heat. Part of the dance for mating is the wooing, and this painting shows just that. I viewed being approached by a suitor similarly, with attraction yet caution. I also used color symbolically, pink for the ladies, blues and yellows for the guys, orange is for optimism. Painted in acrylics on a 24"x24"x1.5" gallery wrap canvas. I've called it "Seduction", it will be entered in a competition so not currently available.

"Work Together"

"Work Together" mixed heavy body and high flow acrylic on 8"x16" standard canvas. This is MY message for the coming New Year 2014, we as a people, a nation, a world in order to be strong, must embrace our differences and draw from the kaleidoscope of cultural color and unite, for divided we fall, united we stand. I hope to see 2014 become a year of growth, love and tolerance, rather than death by indifference and hate. I wish the best to all, may you have a fulfilling year ahead. This painting is a mix of from left to right- a gray spotted snowflake appaloosa, a bay pinto paint, a palomino paso fino, and a spotted TWH saddle horse. They are in harmony. And it's a beautiful thing! Happy New Year to one and all!

"BeCome a Survivor"

October is breast cancer awareness month, and it just so happens I was commissioned to do a work for this very issue to signify a feeling of hope and determination to beat this medical condition. Titled "BeCome a Survivor" employing my typical use of words and letters to send a message, in this case the capital B and C in BeCome means Breast Cancer. Done with acrylics on an 8"x8"x1.5" gallery wrap canvas. There is a total of 8 ribbons on this painting, 2 are on the sides which are not seen by the camera. Eight is a # of fate, karma, adversity, and those with perseverance can overcome it's influence and succeed! I wish all the best and complete healing to the owner of this painting and anyone dealing with breast cancer.

"A Pair of Scissors"

I decided to have some fun doing my signature line technique on representing the Oklahoma State Bird, flycatcher scissortails. I used contrasting blues and oranges to give it vibrancy, a feeling of soaring energy, and for a indication of the coming Fall. This was an exciting and rewarding painting for me to accomplish. Done on a 12"x 36"x 1.5" gallery wrap canvas in acrylics. It will be shown in the 2013 OKC State Fair arts competition, then afterwards will be hanging for sale at the Shawnee, Ok Sweet Earth Studio Mingle Gallery in a mini solo show for their anniversary in October.
