Christmas News!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!!  2012 slipped upon us here at AWESOME ASS ACRES!!  We've been so busy, but if you were to ask us what we've been doing, we'd be hard pressed to say!!  The Christmas holidays kept me in the studio, painting feverishly, sometimes getting up at 4:30am and not going to bed until after 11:00pm...those hours are for folks MUCH younger than I!!  I've been blessed with collectors that enjoy my hand painted tree ornaments and I've met new pony collectors this year!!!  My last ponies of 2011 are featured below...

I am so honored to announce that "Wonderful Season of Peace" was entered in TTOPP Holiday Design contest and won 2nd place in the Classic category...just found out today!!!  Thank you all for stopping by and visiting awhile...please come back!!

LATEST ORIGINAL PAINTED PONIES

I'm absolutely loving painting these ponies!  I wanted to post pics of the last few that I've completed...

"40 Days..." #2011-7 --- Inspired by the Bibical story of Noah's Ark.

"My Only Wish" --#2011-8 --- Inspired by the many times of wishing for a horse of my own!

"Rearin' To Go" --#2011-9 ---  Inspired by the thought of horses pulling Santa's sleigh, instead of reindeer!

"Don't Fence Me In" --#2011-10---- Inspired by the old Western song with the same title & the beautiful wild horses of the West!

"Till We Meet Again..." --#2011-11----  Inspired by the thought of losing an equine friend...then hoping to meet them one day when we cross the Rainbow Bridge.

                                         All are sold...but am painting daily!!

Well, I guess I've officially started with my original custom painted ponies!!  No wonder these are collected throughout the world...they're so much fun to paint AND they generate creativity on every level!!  Be sure to check out their site...
