<p>Special thanks to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jwalkerphotography/" target="_blank"><strong>Joshua Walker, photographer, </strong></a>who generously offered his work as resource for this painting. Our largest oil on porcelain tile, eventers will reccognize Rolex KY. We build up the surface &#8211; and all those twigs &#8211; with thin washes of mineral pigment, firing each layer to fuse it permanently to the tile. An extreme close-up of the face gives you an idea of the intense painting with tiny brushes that produces such a life-like image. In reality, this painted face measures less than an inch tall!</p>

Spring has us thinking of flowers, Dutch-style! This technique allows us to paint incredible detail: butterfly&#8217;s antennae, forget-me-not stamen and a seashell&#8217;s pearly glistening; all within a lusterous smooth surface.<br />

<em><B>Splash!,</b>handpainted kiln fired oil on porcelain tile, 16 inches x 20 inches, AVAILABLE $4,500 framed</em></p>
<p>Special thanks to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jwalkerphotography/" target="_blank"><strong>Joshua Walker, photographer, </strong></a>who generously offered his work as resource for this painting. Yes, the same Josh you may know as Art Director, Managing Editor, Multimedia Editor, and Marketing Coordinator for United States Eventing Association, Inc. Our largest oil on porcelain tile, eventers will reccognize, Olympic equestrian <a href="http://www.teamchiacchia.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Darren Chiacchia</strong></a>. We build up the surface &#8211; and the thousands of tiny water droplets &#8211; with thin washes of mineral pigment, firing each layer to fuse it permanently to the tile. An extreme close-up of the face gives you an idea of the intense painting with tiny brushes that produces such a life-like image. An intensity that matches Darren&#8217;s as he bites his upper lip in concentration. In reality, this painted face measures just over an inch tall!</p>

UPDATE: Both Josh and Darren stopped by our booth at Rolex and signed the back of this painting, which is cool. Josh explained the ride was at Rocking Horse near Tampa and Darren identified the horse. We&#8217;re pleased they both like it so well, thanks guys!<br />
