"Picasso"
Burned Wood Original
by Jennifer Beers

 About a year or so ago, after joining Etsy.com to sell my Folk Art and wood crafts, I discovered Linda Martin through the Christian Artists Street Team, I had joined there. I checked out her shop and really liked her artwork. When Linda began her Mustang a Day Challenge, I joined her Facebook and started following her Mustang artworks every day, and reading her blog, and also started following

The Sand Wash Basin Wild Mustangs--(http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sand-Wash-Basin-Wild-Horses/101181969939406), and I was hooked! I have really enjoyed and appreciate all the photographers who post the great photographs and document the Sand Wash Basin Mustangs.
 


Falcon
Oil on Canvas Board
by Jennifer Beers

  I had done some drawing and wood burnings of horses, years ago, and decided to try doing a wood burning of a horse. When I finished it I posted it at the SWB wild mustangs facebook, and Nancy Roberts, the administrator there liked it,and asked me if I could wood burn one of their mustangs. She emailed to me a photo she had taken of the band stallion named Picasso. I did the wood burning, posted it, and received a lot of nice compliments, and encouragement from Linda and Nancy and others on facebook!

Burned Wood
by Jennifer Beers

One person who liked my rendering of Picasso, and sent me a nice message was the photographer John Wagner. I had been following his photos as well, and asked him if I could use some of his photos to wood burn or paint from and he kindly granted me permission. So, I decided to try painting "Falcon", a SWB colt. I painted this in acrylics and I plan to do some more paintings of the mustangs soon, and maybe trying oils or watercolor.  Linda has also become a good friend, as well as an inspiration! Thanks Linda!

  I have been drawing and painting since childhood and started working with wood in the late 70's. I do some folk art and I make birdhouses, game boards, signs,etc.
