Photo with diminished color value printed on canvas, painted with acrylic paints, thread painted in layers with batting to create texture, sparkle added and painted over with acrylic varnish to protect the paint.

This snail caught my attention as he slowly made his way along the hot summer soil.
Even in the heat he was wet and shinny leaving a glistening trail behind him.
Look closely for the ant, are they having a friendly chat or are they thinking about lunch?
Inspiration for this piece is provided from a photo by Susan Monroe.

Thread Painting on Deer Hide

The subtle effect of thread and light reveal a majestic Chief whose world no longer exists.
The Chief was glorious and proud of his people and land.

The Deer was vital to his people’s existence in Central Texas.

Ghost Chief draws you in from a distance as you just catch a glimpse of something on the surface of the hide.

As you come closer you feel that Ghost Chief is looking through you from eyes that hold his past.
This hide is over 50 years old and was in a collection of my mother in laws, Jeanne (Tiny) Clark.

Antique Central Texas Deer Hide, thread painted adding several layers of batting to give the depth and texture.
There are 3 layers but no formal backing fabric was used as the weight of the fabric distorted the face. You can see the last of the detail work on the back.
