You Crack Me Up...

I'm painting a series of these miniatures ...3x4 acrylic on linen... there's something soothing about the focus that occurs while putting one's attention on a small endeavor... however, as with any size work the problems and choices are still part of the painting experience...( these make lovely gifts ) ... contact me at gigihackford@yahoo.com

Quacks Welcome

It's been awhile since I've painted a pineapple and while painting this I gazed beyond the pineapple...and suddenly visualized a duck !.... so I went with it...and it was fun...I almost named the piece ..."

In The Shade

Resting in the shade is a relief for the donkey as he doesn't have much of a tail to swish the flies away. Perhaps the children's game,Pin The Tail On The Donkey, came from children's wish to have a long tail for this endearing hard working creature . 11 x 14 acrylic on art panel board...contact gigihackford@yahoo.com
