Also my sister's work. Morning glories.

This is a carousel horse for the winter season. I did this as a gift for my sis, who's paintings are included in this thread. When she moved last year she gifted it to MelMak. I have done the summer horse for my daughter as she was born in the summer, and have always intended to do the spring horse for MelMak but have never done so. Sorry, Sunshine! So he gets the winter horse instead. Another amazing designer.

These horses all have beads and shiny threads in them. Don't know if the photo picks those details up or not.
By the way, my sis, who paints, did most of the framing for me for my work. She was able to access a framing shop and their tools for her own work, and I just paid her for the mats and frames. IMG_1480.JPG

These next 2 fall into the "more" category. Cross stitch pictures done by my hand. I"m working on one for Kasha now, still a ways from finishing it, but will post a pic when I get it done and framed.

I also have a lot of x-stitch unframed and may or may not share those with you. This first pic is an English cottage. I have several of these unframed, and they are really beautiful! Love this designer.

I cropped out my signature.
Acrylics.

Oh, of course you would crop it out to share it online.

Gorgeous! Oils? Acrylics?

Signature?

You guys need to sign your art. Even I sign my cards, sort of.

I guess this would fit the "and more" part of the Thread Title...

I think it got folded at one point, hence the stray lines.

You did that when you were 7 or 8? It's amazing!

You better get back into it! Because you definitely have some talent.

I know Sparky has done some art, too.

I, on the other hand, have trouble colouring inside the lines. There is a great deal of artistic talent in my family, starting with my grandfather. 2 of my sisters paint watercolours (one has passed away, so she doesn't any more.......), my daughter paints with acrylics.

And Kasha is getting to be a very good artist. She actually sculpts with air-dry clay and makes miniature things. She made a doughnut that is the size of a Cheerio, and it looks like a doughnut the size of a Cheerio. And she's done other things as well. She also draws, and paints with acrylics sitting with her mom.

MelMak is a musician. He composes and arranges.

I, on the other hand, missed all of that.

It's not too late!

Maybe someday when you retire!

I do remember enjoying the class, and she always smelled really nice.
She also taught art with charcoals, at which I seemed to do quite well, and actually still have one of my pieces from way back when!

When I was about 7 or 8, my mom enrolled me in a watercolor art class at our local community center.
The lady who ran it was, supposedly, some fancy schmancy watercolor expert who volunteered her time to help straighten out "at risk" boys.

She seemed constantly impressed with my artistic ability, and did her best to encourage me to stay for the advanced class, but baseball season was starting!
