I'm very proud of this one. We recently went on a tour of Anheuser-Busch here in St. Louis. We got to get up close to a Clydesdale, which was thrilling. I photographed this wonderful creature named Rock On. Then went home, and 100 hours later...voila! A mosaic of him. I tried to recreate the stables behind him.

I called this one Summer and Autumn.   I contacted an Instagram friend in Finland to get permission to mosaic one of her photos.   She agreed, then wanted to purchase it.   I gifted it to her.   Since then, I've recreated it 2 more times.  I love the feeling of the autumn leaf and bright white flower.

I've, of course, been making mosaics.   My current one is called Barcelona, from a photo I took on La Rombla.   Pretty excited about this one.   Next step is the sidewalk, which will be glass pounded to a pulp.

I just finished Longhorn, he's in a large barn wood frame and I am thinking of adding homemade barbed wire across the middle.  I took a photo of this handsome guy outside of Lawrence, Kansas on a bike ride.
Giraffe was fun, he's whimsical and I love him.  He was exhibited in a juried show in Chesterfield, Missouri.
The Black and White Iris was also in a juried show, the art had to be black and white. This piece sold.
Kitty in the Window is one of my favorites.  He's inspired by a photo of our own cat who loved to sit in the window.
