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.

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
