Two favorite Stuffed Animals (with turtles!!)

A Grandmother’s gifts to her grandchildren!  Two favorite ‘Stuffies’, a warthog and a donkey,  will now always be preserved for these two children.  This subject of this commission  was another first for me, but since I love painting texture it was right up my alley!! They are painted on wooden plaques 9″ X 12″ each.

And the two little turtles are painted on small stones to fit in little hands!  I actually enjoyed painting the turtle undersides more than the tops!!

Morning by the River Tray

I sometimes pass this spot on the Farmington River on my daily morning walk.  I love living so close to this undisturbed area.  I painted my view from the shore on this small wooden tray which is 20″ X 8″,  handle to handle, and 15″ X 7″ on the interior. Since my signature bug would be impractical I added the turtles which live a little ways up river.   It is sealed with polyurethane.   Available for sale for $125 plus shipping.
