newest painting
This is one of the new paintings I'm sending to Daytona Beach, Florida for the "Cold-Blooded Creations" show next weekend, Aug. 17-19th. It's called "Muskrat Neighbors" and besides the title animal, also has a Spotted Turtle, Wood Frog & Question mark butterfly in it. Done in acrylic on a canvas panel, it measures 20"x16".

Jackie, I always think that you should be illustrating children's books; your paintings have that timeless feel. The turtle looks so lifelike, as though he's about to take another step; and I am *thrilled* by the two trees to the right (or one tree that has split)... I will not be surprised to find you illustrating one day.

Jackie, this is lovely! Very striking.
Good luck at the show.
That is awsome you did a great job Good luck Hugs and God Bless
Something about this reminds me of a children's book I've read. I'll be up all night wracking my brain now. LOL
That is striking. I will be eager to know how it is judged.
I love the background here. It looks like part of the Emerald Necklace...such a beautiful place...It appears so cool...
I was looking at the Queen Anne's Lace in your previous post. I've always loved the Queen Anne's Lace that covered the roadsides and fields in OH. I miss it. Yes, it is in the carrot family. If I remember, the root is white.
In my comment to your July 28 post i asked you what the topic of your next painting was . I have the answer . Of course I like the Musktat and his neighbor but I am amazed by the foliage . You have a real personal style , Jackie . I am sure your painting will be appreciated in Daytonia .

Amazing work you do and I'm sure in 'real' life much more detail can be seen. How long did this take you?

I agree about the children's books because it has a magical feel that is often found in children's books. There is an underlying idealism in that piece and even the title is cheerful and uplifting.
I just love your artwork! You are so talented! Thanks for sharing this. I have family in Florida, (I was just there last week!) so I'll tell them to check it out (btw...where in Daytona Beach?)
And I agree with the others too, that you should do illustrations for children's book.
