Let The Wind Take You - Acrylic Painting

This image popped into my head one day and I couldn't rest until I had her brought to life on canvas.


She looks quite content to let life take her where it will, don't you think? She's painted on an 11x14 gallery-wrapped canvas with an antique music sheet circa 1890.

Stars of the Summer Night

Here's a small painting I created recently. I found this incredible little song in my 1913 songbook, and was so inspired that I decided to try something new. The blacks and blues were fun to work over the surface; they do some amazing melding on the antique page that I couldn't get on a straight canvas texture. It measures 5x7 on canvas booard.

Rosalie ~ Acrylic Painting

A bit of a Parisian twist with this one. I read the lyrics to this lovely song and was so inspired, I just couldn't help myself.
'Rosalie' is an 8x10 acrylic painting with antique music sheet circa 1913 on a gallery wrapped canvas.

Mini House Pendants

A baker's dozen of teeny little house pendants that I just finished. Handmade from polymer clay and hand-painted with acrylics by myself, each is one of a kind and unique. They measure about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches tall. I won't be posting the majority of them to Etsy, as I'll be bringing them to shows, but if you see one you like please e-mail at hoydendesigns@gmail.com and I'll get it to you!
