"Rainbow Finch"

Well...we decided to keep the Seagull painting..."Mine" so I needed an alternate.  I chose a Rainbow Finch, native to Australia.  I plan to submit it for the bird painting sale at the Audubon Bird Festival in November.

This image has been updated since the original posting, to give a better definition of the map in the background.

"Mine?" by Loretta Sampson

"Mine?"

5 views of Seagulls that landed on the hood of my husbands work van on various times he stopped at a fast food restaurant in Astoria, OR.  He sent me the pictures throughout the year labeled...."my friend."  I never knew what to expect.  Cracked me up every time.  I thought putting them together would be fun.  I may use this for my submission to the Audubon Society Bird festival 6 x 6 painting sale.  (I may paint something else for the festival.)

Armored Carousel Horse

Two images of an Armored Carousel Horse which are typically the lead horse on Carousels. It's the horse the carousel operator counts as he passes during the ride.

This fellow is "carved" in leather, then painted with acrylics.
Leather carving and painting in acrylics are not new to me.....putting the two together was new. I usually stain tooled leather. I was pleased with the result.
