An oilpainting of two girls holding hands and looking at clouds. One cloud looks like a heart. One sister is in a blue dress and the other in a yellow dress.

I love the coyote because they are misunderstood

A woman with James Wyeth and he is holding a painting

I’m a painter and school psychologist supporting students with disabilities. On a drive to work, I envisioned Christina in a museum, able to move freely and in control of the perspective on Christina’s World. I painted it, posted it on Reddit, and James Wyeth invited me to his farm to buy it!

That is not me at all! I actually could not imagine approaching painting in that way

Aw thanks!!!

Not a self portrait! But yes they are shadows!

What do you do when hyper focusing???

Guess I turn my head back and forth🤣

Thank you so much🥹❤️

A panting of a girl looking at a lion shadow with a rainbow casts across

I created this piece for our Autistic Support classroom at school! The school mascot is a lion and they love rainbows!

“You can do hard things” is their saying!

Wedding bouquet idea!

Quarter Horse, 12x20 oil on board

I’ve always loved horses. Through painting, I’m able to connect with something I never fully reached in real life.

A commissioned piece of someone’s sweet pup.

A brother and sister commission. Not totally done yet but I think they are sweet together. My plan is to match the wall and shadow colors closer together and maybe extend the diagonal shadow across the lion too!

Thought?

Ugh thank you🥹 you are so kind. I will!! I do work from photos for parts! I use references for faces when I need to but I often have to manipulate references in my mind so that they fit my idea!

Thank you so so so much for this comment!! Hearing opinions like this means the world to me!! I hope those tires are soooooo smooth❤️

A joy to look at your work. You've captured something so special with the shadow play idea. Seriously tempting but I have new car tyres to buy first...😢
