most recent of the recents...well, sort of

I debated on entering anything for the USU undergrad show, but last minute decided that I might as well...since I am a student once more. So, thanks to Tim for being the endless supplier of reference images, this tiny painting came about. It is only about 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches done mostly with acrylics.


More to come, but in the meantime I am trying to finish up everything for the H.O.P.E festival(come check it out!)...oh boy, so much to get done!

one more for the night

No, I haven't been cranking these projects out lickety-split...they have just been piling up waiting for their photo op.



Although, on this little horsey box, I did add the pen just the other night. Ooh, how I do love pen, but can't decide if this box is in need of something more. Ahh-well, I am sure I will figure it out!

More to come,

katie jo, the silly girl who paints horses...love them.

just thought I would share

my creative mess.


Yes, for some reason, I prefer to do most my projects while sitting on the floor.


And these are the boxes I should be painting...right about now.

some proof I have been busy...

Well I decided I had to fit in at least one or two posts before the month is up...my excuse? Simply, that I need to photograph my work. So be prepared...this birthday week (because that is just what it is) will be filled with posts...if I can ever leave work at a decent hour. Oops, there is was again, another excuse...work.







My very talented friend had me take these of her adorable family. I am so glad you are pleased with them Alyssa. I had quite a fun time shooting them, so thank you.

new series completed...well, almost

Small paintings once again. These little box panels, hardly bigger than a photo, were just the perfect size for painting on sight.


The design in the background is the same technique I have used in some earlier paintings. Wintergreen oil...love it.


I still have two more panels that need to be painted, until then, a series of six it is.








Thanks Grandma, thanks mom, and I love you free time.

i forget...a lot

This little box was one I had painted for a friend and i completely forgot about it. Forgetful me...


katie jo

a new series...but just the very start

I don't really know what these panel boxes will have on them quite yet, but I'm excited nonetheless.
