This is a rainbow artwork. Meaning I used a rainbow of colors. I paint this style quite a bit, but usually it is in earth tones, but I decided to branch out into color for the animals that I paint. I have done’ lions, chickens and roosters, dogs and cats, quite a few birds, as well as frogs, dragonflies, and butterflies. I have even done a few humans too. These have been quite fun. There is something unique about using every single color to represent, verses sticking to natur

Marefire artwork by Cecile Grace Charles I love horses. I love a lot of things but I love horses a bit more. Over the years I have had many moments with horses. Race horses, ponies, miniature horses, my friend owns twenty of them. There are so many different breeds. I am known in some horse circles for painting several breeds. I am very partial to Fjords, quarter horses, Frisian, are my favorites.   Marefire is about a horse I know. I get to visit he

Falls Artwork by Cecile Grace Charles I have mentioned in other stories about my artworks, that I will use someone I know whom I am inspired by for my theme. It could be the way they look; it could be the way the act, or it could be what they do in life. Sometimes I will watch a person for weeks or months until I see that particular moment where they have turned into the light, or turned away from me. I will know long before what to look for, then I captu

When you look at this piece you might say, “That is so simple, I could do that”, well, yes you could. But it would not look like this because there is more to this than meets the eye, for it is intended for the mind. The job of the artist is to understand the meaning of color, the placement of color as well as inserting any object that finishes the story.   Firstly, that is not the sun or the moon, that is the circle of life in the background. It is however, the energy of the

As an artist, in most cases, I am not a prude. Nudity doesn’t bother me in art. But it depends on the depiction. There is a difference between porn and art. This seems to be a lost art for some. Plus, we live in a world where a percentage of the people in it are offended if you censure them even one iota. It can be difficult to explain to people what the difference is. There is also those who like the shock value and want to blatantly show the nitty gritty right down to every

Man O Man artwork by Cecile Grace Charles The colors of this artwork tell a story about royalty. Not in the sense of monarchs, but in a sense of historical familia. We are all colorful throughout our lives, how will live our life is the story. Is it grand? Is it plain, is it filled with amazing feats? Is it sedate and full of love? Or is it over the top wild and unusual? These two figures are possibly two men, conceivably mates? They might be fr

Casting Hope Artwork , currently for sale in my store, here on my website. Casting Hope , mixed media, with copper accent and gypsum flowers, is about people who dedicate their lives to making things better for other people. Sometimes it is through religious beliefs. Sometimes it is through a deep and abiding desire to do good to other people and to care for them. Sometimes it is because they too have had traumatic lives and they don’t want others to go through that. The artw

One Pound Of Fat Just so you know, I set a goal for last year, it was a large goal. (Pun intended). I met that goal. I set a goal the year before as well. I struggled with that but met that goal too, believing at the time that I probably would only lose a bit of what I needed to do because I could not walk. Now I walk 20,000 steps a day. Last months monthly challenge has now become an every day need. The big news, how much have I lost? Well, sorry, I'm not telling, not yet a

Some days need more than one prune to get through the mess. You may quote me. ~Cecile Grace Charles This is an actual artwork I did for a restaurant. Acrylic. Artists are not normal people, we think differently, we see differently and we have strange senses of humor. Join me for a laugh or too. #cecilegracecharles #cecilesfunnies #cecilesquotes #truestories #funnyartist

This artwork is named in a literal way. The figure is carrying a precious seed. The seed is made from copper materials. The seed is about what you do in your life. Is it about happiness? Maybe. Is it about what you give to the world around you? Possibly. Is it about teaching others a truth or your truth? Absolutely. My figures in these artworks are a suggestion of a human, not any specific human. I want you to put yourself or your hero in its place. It is January 1 2026 this
