This is a surprise for Darrien for when she gets back from Alaska. Her beloved soul mate will be on the viewing room wall at our barn. Hope she likes it.

Emerald Downs Equine Art Show 2025

This is Fandango! My triathlon coach’s Mom and her horse, Fandango, are here qualifying for the Olympics. Her glory was snatched because her country was banned due to war. She was the best rider ever and didn’t get to compete. I had to paint them and give her legend immortality.

Juliet said her mom doesn’t like modern art, so I sweated bullets for a year trying not to be myself, but then just let it rip. To soften the possible upset, I gave her a canvas print in a traditional frame.

ECCC 2025

It was glorious as usual!

Sheldon

This is my horse trainer’s beloved horse, Sheldon. He was a lucky horse to have her. I hope I did him justice. It was an honor to get to paint him.

ECCC 2024

Artistry for the Brave! Booth 20503 right by the entrance on the 2nd floor. Live painting!

Emerald City Comic Con 2024 was pretty epic. I got to meet Elijah Wood. I told him he was doing a good job and he said, “Thanks!” He also signed my VHS with a heart. I died.

Thanks to Heila for stopping by my booth! I can’t believe Grant wore elf ears. He gets one billion points. I’m dressed as a bard from Skyrim and that is my I’m so happy smile.
