NO! Not in the least sorry, those are beautiful work, though I might draw the line at the toilet lids. Too beautiful to risk wear and tear. I would have to go buy a new toilet lid and hang that one on the wall.
That Tee Pee sounds like something I could look at and let my imagination run wild for long periods of time. I can see a print of that hanging by my desk. One whole minute, huh! I wonder how many people were moaning at being too slow to get it?

Thanks again! You'd be surprised. The years of raising and showing horses, I met so many people in different areas of the country...and I set up as a vendor at the shows too, so I gathered over 2,000 horse loving customers. If I paint ANY colored horse on anything, someone will grab it because it looks like their horse. It's shocking, but fun. I'm just glad to get some time to paint some for myself and to give as gifts...not sell.
I plan to do so many more things and will probably post them on my Flickr account so I won't make everyone here sick of seeing them. I'll try to keep it down to a few each year here.
After a few things I want to get done here (like making my neighbor some flower boxes for his windows), I am going to do some Tee Pees...in a set of the 4 seasons.

Wow, what nice work! And your enthusiasm in pursuing it makes it even better.
Thank you for that kind comment Tommy. If I ever let myself grow up, I want to be a photographer too.

When can I get one for my grandaughter. She just won in show, beat out girls with 2 years more expirence than her.
Congratulations to your granddaughter. I don't know how old your granddaughter is but a girl's lover for horse never weakens, it only gets stronger, for the rest of her life. I just retired from custom painting and need a while to think about doing any more of those. I will let you know.

If there is any chance of you selling one of these (especially with an Arabian), please let me know. I would love to give it as a present for a true horse lover.
I'll truly think about it. I posted it in another group and now I'm having doubts about whether my retirement will last very long. I'll let you know.

You really are a great artist 🎨, I just wish I could do something like that 
Thank you LeRoy. EVERYONE can do this. I know because I have taught a LOT of people to paint and every single one of them succeeded.

Beautiful! I’d buy one.
But it is nice, to quote MGM’s mantra, to create ars gratia artis: art for art’s sake.

thing I have painted for myself in a very long time. Now that I have retired ...almost ...maybe from doing commission work, I had a blast painting just what I wanted to instead of something to sell. Oh what fun!!!!
That's lovely

I have always admired people that have a talent that I couldn't hope to have. You obviously have a special talent and chose to use that talent. Thank You for creating beauty.

Thank you so much. Glad you like it. Yes, it's nice to just paint what I want to and not have to hurry to get it to someone in time for somebody's birthday or Christmas. Some people wait and order 3 days before they need it. LOL!
