Horse for my Mom

I've wanted to do this for my mom for a couple of years now. I borrowed an old sketchbook of hers so that I could recreate a horse she drew years ago when she fell off a horse and broke her shoulder. The painting is acrylic on slate.

Brittany's Boxes

My sister requested magazine holders for her classroom. Since she teaches math, she asked for geometric patterns. 

McKenna's Lion

6" x 6" acrylic on canvas.

It's based on the giraffe pattern currently in my niece's bedroom:

Grace's Octopus

Grace wanted a zebra. And then she wanted an octopus. And then she considered a series of three sea creatures. And then she settled on an octopus again. Once I was relatively certain she wasn't going to ask for a dragon or a butterfly midway, I painted her octopus. I wanted it to be really dramatic and pop. The background is black with a midnight blue glaze, like the very depths of the ocean. And this is a blue-ringed octopus.
