Ornaments aren't just for Christmas

I painted this handsome fella Saturday afternoon. I love painting on such a variety of canvases...and this is one of my favorites. I love the way the acrylics work on frosted glass...or maybe it's just the contrast of the detail against the soft white.

Anyway, he's headed to Oklahoma as a gift to the owner of this gorgeous stallion. Shhhhhhhh! It's a surprise.

I think I enjoy making the gift boxes as much as painting the ornaments. I never expected I would enjoy making them so much but this last year I've really gone quite wild with covering boxes with great papers and trims.
