Waiting ~ Friesian horse Painting Amberson Art


Please email comments and inquiries to: TanyaAmberson@frontier.com 

About This Painting: This painting always reminds me of a horse I had when I was a kid. He was meaner than sin but he was always waiting at the corner of his pasture, across from my bus stop, every week day afternoon. He would prance and kick up his heals along the fence line, following me as I walked home. A nice memory. Media: Acrylic Size: 10 in X 8 in (25.4 cm X 20.3 cm)

Roxy - custom commissioned painting



"Roxy" I finished this commission a couple months ago but waited till now to share it because it was a surprise wedding gift for the clients brother Jason and his fiancee Dana. As well as being dog lovers, the happy couple are avid skiers, so the client requested the snowy mountain scene in the background. I have since heard that the wedding was beautiful and that Jason and Dana loved the painting. I just love happy endings, although in this case I'd have to say it's a happy beginning.  Media: Acrylic Size: 18 in X 24 in on gallery wrapped canvas

Tuscany Rooster - Folk Art Chicken with Sunflowers and Grapes










"Tuscany Rooster"

Our licensing agent sent out a call for art for a company that makes kitchen accessories. It was short notice but the subject matter that they were looking for appealed to me so I went for it. This delightfully colorful piece is the result. I added a fun border around the edges of the painting (see image below) incase a collector may want to leave it unframed.

Blue View - Urban Cityscape Skyscraper Plane Amberson Art












"Blue View" - An Artists Perspective


I love working with a simple palette and I love the color blue. This painting fulfilled both of those loves. The perspective also intrigued me because I'm profoundly afraid of heights. I won't fly in a plane and I am very uncomfortable in high places. I guess the subject matter was a tantalizing mixture of sweet and sour for me as an artist. ~ Tanya

This acrylic painting is on gallery wrapped 6"x6" canvas. The sides have been painted so it can be displayed with or without a frame. I've applied a semi gloss varnish that gives the painting a lustrous finish as well as extra protection.

Highland Beauty - Scottish Fold Cat Painting



"Highland Beauty"  Scottish Fold Cat Painting by Tanya Amberson

Commissioned portrait of a Scottish Fold Cat. This breed is unique because of their folded down ears caused by a natural dominant gene mutation. The folded ears combined with their characteristic round faces and large eyes give them an owl like appearance. The original Scottish Fold was a barn cat born in 1961 in Perthshire, Scotland. In time she passed her gene for folded ears on to her kittens and caught the attention of a neighbor farmer who also happened to be a cat fancier. Thus a new breed of cat came into being.

 Special Thanks to Paul and Stacey Tosch and also to sweet little Pickle, who passed over the Rainbow Bridge way too soon.

10% of sale proceeds was donated to Tabby's Place Cat Rescue.
