7"x5" oil on textured canvas panel
$50 + $4 shipping and handling in US
I'm adding a larger painting to my ETSY shop...Sometimes we just need a larger support, as in the case of MOOSE above!
"Moose" is just as his name implies...a big ole moose just hanging out with you where ever you may want to hang him! He is painted on a 7x5" canvas board with black sides. Ready to frame (I might suggest a floater frame so you can see all his rack in all it's rack"y" glory) or sit on an easel. Remember: a regular frame will take out approximately 1/8 - 1/4" in the lip that will cover your image. WHICH is fine...nothing wrong with a little cropping! Moose will be ready to ship on November 6"ish", 2013 when he is dry!
AND...WE ARE SO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE A NEW ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY!!!

TO: proud parents Scott and Katie Galloway (my dear hubby's son)
AND proud grandparents JERRY AND SAUNDRA GALLOWAY
now known as Grandpa and Lanie (I had to get creative with a grandma name as there are 3 of us in this side of the family!)
AND...not as exciting, but still important in my art world...I attended the grand opening of the new gallery space that CREATIONS moved to. Their building was sold right out from under them, so they have partnered with a new gallery just two doors down; a slimmed down space, but I am lucky enough to be included...The new space is now called
As you can see Tom and Vickey have generously given me a very prominent spot in their new space, and Nancy Welch and Cathy Briggs; owners of BY CHANCE were kind enough to want me to be a part of this gallery within a shop! I'm excited!
So, folks, there it is...a very happy, productive and busy time!!
OOPS...yep, I did a NOVEMBER calendar page...
HAPPY CREATING!
I've been very curious lately as to what might work in my slice of life paintings as I am calling this series...so, wildlife had to be part of my experiment. I found this awesome group of photos in the free morgue files as I haven't seen a live moose in years...and just had to crop this dude to see how he might come out, and I had fun and I love him! I wrapped another dowel with leather, jute and canvas in some of the colors and values found in "Moose Eyes" and let some of the canvas string down the textured canvas to bring a slight bit of interest...the beads are a purple and some fun gold to match his eyes. For me, this series is fun and different...inspired by a simple band of color streaking through a metal round I saw in Texas one day...Inspiration can come from the simplest of places!
