Original Art - Feathers
Ascension
"Ascension" features two pegususes (pegusi?) rising into the night sky. It's acrylic on heritage breed turkey tail feather, and has onyx, citrine, dark blue sapphire and yellow sapphire accents. It's presented triple matted and framed in an antiqued gold tone frame that measures 8x14 inches on the inside edge. Okay, okay, I admit there is a bit of carousel inspiration going on in this piece too!
Autumn & Winter Wolves
Autumn & Winter Wolves - as the seasons change and the frost overtakes the fall colors, the Autumn and Winter Wolves meet before parting ways for the year.

Avid Reader
This original is titled Avid Reader, and the reason for that should be obvious. A golden dragon sits contentedly on a pile of comfy cushions, with plenty of reading material to last the age. The book in hand is titled simply "Epic," whether it's science fiction or fantasy is up to you. 

Avid Reader is acrylic on turkey feather with garnet accents. It's triple matted and framed in a scroll patterned distressed finished frame that measures 8x12 inches on the inside edge. This piece won Best of Show at a recent convention art show (MileHiCon) and yet managed to sneak back home somehow.
Chasing Amethyst
Chasing Amethyst - I would like to say that this dragon is chasing an amethyst tone pearl of wisdom, but it isn't. It's just chasing after amethyst. Maybe some day it will graduate to higher callings, but that day is not today.

Egyptian Cat
This is a sacred Egyptian Cat, and doesn't it know it. Don't they ALL know it!

Fairies Wear Boots
There's a meme going around on social media featuring a really manky moth that looks a little like a flying tarantula. Perhaps you've seen it. I saw it and started thinking about the kind of fairy that would have wings like that moth. As I started to paint him on a turkey feather, I started thinking of the old Black Sabbath song Fairies Wear Boots, and so that is the title of this piece.
He's the sort of fairy that trips you over your own feet or who leaves Legos on the floor in the dark for you to step on. He's the sort of fairy that will give you a scare and then laugh about it. Is he a real danger? Probably not, he's mostly out to amuse himself albeit at your expense. The maximum amount of mayhem that can be achieved with a minimum of effort is more his style. He lives among the leaf litter and eats toadstools for lunch. He'll accept a dish of beer left out for him, but don't expect any favors in return.
This piece is acrylic on heritage breed turkey feather with a garnet and a marcasite accent. The inside of the weathered wood frame measures 5x7...it was weathered wood or nothin', because he's not going to put on any fine pretenses for you, he is what he is. Invite this bad fairy into your home for $145 including shipping

Golden Dragon Flies
Golden Dragon Fliesmake off with citrine and yellow sapphire treasures. It's pretty clear who has the best one, and I'm pretty sure that some bargaining is about to occur!

Peridot Chaser
Peridot Chaser is chasing a peridot pearl of wisdom, and why not - peridot is formed deep in the magmatic earth and has experienced many extremes before humans (or dragons!) ever find it.

Peridot Dragon
Peridot Dragon prefers treasures that, no surporse, are the same shade of green as it is. Painted in acrylic on turkey feather and accented with a round peridot. Triple matted and framed to 8x10 inches on the inside edge of the narrow fancy black frame.
Queen of Spades
This piece is the companion to Queen of Heartso. This is Queen of Spades. I originally envisioned her as looking a bit more sinister, but she didn't want to be that way. She's a friendly Queen of Spades, unless you're playing Hearts or Old Maid. Since I only had two of the playing card and dice themed frames, these two playing card queens are the only ones I'm painting for now.
Queen of Spades is presented in a frame with an inside edge of 5x7 inches, is acrylic on turkey feather and has two sapphire accents.
