Fred's Dog Escapes

I WANT A REAL HORSE!

PIONEER REQUIEM

This piece was done to honor the pioneer women who migrated West, sometimes losing loved ones on the way.  I wanted to show the mother kneeling at the little grave, baby blanket in hand.  The road behind her beckons her onward, to leave the little one behind.

The Job

Did you ever have a job that stifled your soul?  Or did you ever want a job so bad that you were willing to sacrifice to get it?  Or did you ever leave a job and soar off into the unknown?

Splash of the Titan

The title is a play on words:  "Splash" because of the woman dipping her toe in the water, and "Titan" because her character in the stamping catalog is Phoebe, one of the Titans.  And of course, this refers to the movie "Clash of the Titans", a favorite in our house.  This scene was a challenge to myself to see if I could use some of my many Greek stamps in a scene.

Fuzzy Slippers

"THE RACE"

The End of the Trail

I love the outdoors, and this scene reminds me of many happy camping and backpacking trips over the years. This scene was colored with pencils. 

Planting the First Trees

In the dry American Southwest, the planting of trees is an important investment in the future.  All stamps in this scene are from 100 Proof Press.
