I painted another elephant ear as a special order. The man who took the elephant hunted mostly in Namibia, so that was to be a focus. He passed away unexpectedly and his family had a well drilled in his honor. After the painting was done I attached wood signage for some hunting locations, and the well, which his family asked to have done. Legends Taxidermy assisted in mounting the ear to a wood backing before painting, and with delivery to Minnesota. Acrylic paint, approximately 66” high by 55” wide - a big one!

I need to let this one rest for a bit and then revisit to decide if it’s done. Usually, when I get to this point I’m pretty ready to be done, but if it needs more tweaking I’ll do it after a break. For those who will ask, I estimate 7 hours or more.

I did a couple of memorial pet commissions recently. This is a direction I’d like to pursue in the near future - pet portraits in paint or pastel, gourds, or unique items like this flower pot and large rock.

This is a gourd I created as a Christmas gift from a talented bird photographer to her supportive bird loving husband. They gave me a list of favorites to choose from but I couldn’t seem to exclude any of them .😆 There are times when a design comes together in a way that is very interesting and exciting for me. This is one of those times and the general multi-image designs with connecting swirls will be explored some more.

I went to Legends Taxidermy today to paint an elephant image on an elephant ear. The client waited to have the elephant painted until he actually hunted that animal. Another very talented artist had done the work and put the tree in, but she’s retired now so when the elephant needs to be added, it came to me. There needs to be some minor repair work to the leather laces that attach the ear to the frame, and the background it’s against is a workshop wall, so not real clean.

Christmas Through Lowell is this weekend. I worked a sales shift Friday morning at the Lowell Arts and it was VERY busy. What great weather for going from place to place to find the perfect gift item!

I finally finished up 24 egg gourds going to Bier Art Gallery in Charlevoix for their holiday ornament sale. The wren is a new favorite of mine! I plan to try and have more ornaments at the Lowell Arts Holiday Show and Sale this year, as people really like them this time of year. PM me for a special request!

It sure feels good to get a couple of tasks completed. The electric fireplace is a Marketplace deal for our house addition to start soon. The cabinet has been a tool of my dad’s from my earliest memories. I repainted it and it’s now a tool in my art studio. One of my most memorable and meaningful pieces of furniture now.🥰
