Visions of Sugar Plums: Jackalope #2 (ornament)

November 30, 2016

Visions of Sugar Plums: Jackalope #2   gouache and acrylic on glass

My second Jackalope ornament is different from the others and is painted red on white, and it is the final ornament that I am creating for my set Visions of Sugar Plums.  

  • This final ornament I am offering is another woodland Jackalope, a mythical creature, painted in Scandinavian color palette, acrylic and gouache on a glass globe. Each ornament comes ready to hang from your special tree with a gold ribbon, and arrives with it's own cardboard box for storing and display. Each ornament is hand-painted by me, Gretchen Ellen Powers, and is completely unique and one of a kind. I am asking only $100 a piece for them + S & H. Available for a limited time only in my shop.

This magic and jolly little creature wants to find a home in your lovely Christmas trees, and family traditions.

Visions of Sugar Plums: Jackalope #1 (ornament)

Visions of Sugar Plums: Jackalope #1   gouache and acrylic on glass

What is more wonderful than a bit of make-believe and magic at Christmas time! And so I couldn't help but paint a Jackalope, which is just a beautiful and magical creature. I am painting three original Christmas ornaments and calling the set Visions of Sugar Plums. 

  • This second one I am offering is a woodland Jackalope, a mythical creature, painted in Scandinavian color palette, acrylic and gouache on a glass globe. Each ornament comes ready to hang from your special tree with a gold ribbon, and arrives with it's own cardboard box for storing and display. Each ornament is hand-painted by me, Gretchen Ellen Powers, and is completely unique and one of a kind. I am asking only $100 a piece for them + S & H. Available for a limited time only in my shop.

These would be the perfect decoration to help you trim your tree, and deck your merry halls!

Shakespeare is Deer to My Heart

April 23, 2016

In My Hart of Hearts   8"x10"  Acrylic on paper

Today the world is remembering & celebrating the brilliance of William Shakespeare, so I thought I would join in and share a Shakespeare inspired commission I did for a British music magazine (I'm a sucker for those lace collars.) 

Here's the quote that inspired the piece:

"Give me that man, That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, As I do thee." - William Shakespeare (Hamlet Act 3, scene 2, 71–74)

Way to go Shakespeare!
