Coyote Title: The Love Letter
Click on photo for larger view.
I guess I turned into a “crafter” in my old age!? I seriously used to make fun of my friends who crafted, like you have nothing better to do with your time? I not Love it and it is my therapy, especially collage art and painting furniture.
I couldn’t get a theme for him but...I used the Kindest Regards stamp, didn’t use ink but used paper clay. Painted it with Black Velvet chalk paint, layered the floral and insect transfers, and sealed it with clear and white wax.
Materials: Debi’s DIY chalk paint, wax, brushes, Iron Orchid Designs stamps, clay, molds, and transfers. Products sold at Sue and Jerry’s trading post. Sue’s art is also available for purchase at Sue and Jerry’s trading post in Oracle.

Elvia is a longtime Oracle resident, has worn many hats. Hope to continue to make my community a place of wonder. The coyote is a tribute to the majestic saguaro on her property. She says she marvels at the resident saguaro, especially when I see her feminine side with her crown
of saguaro fruit.
Artist: Michelle Feller
Coyote Title: Desert Night
Michelle has been a sculptor since she was a child.
When living in Seattle, she taught art to children and teens. Now living in Tucson she continues to develop her skills, sculpting faces and creating intricate vessels.
The design reflects the desert at night. The coyote howling
at the moon, the bats in the sky, the desert flora and fauna in the shadows. The process was mixed media with an emphasis on acrylic.

Coyote Title: Classy Lassy

Materials: low fire clay and underglaze
Inspiration: I normally gravitate towards bright bold colors
which usually works out well, yet the simplicity of the
black and white have the boldness of its own. As I sat with
this piece I had a sense of what it wanted to be; feminine,
elegant, spiritual, classy, and whimsical.

Flower Garden, watering not necessary. When asked to
paint the coyote I saw it as a white canvas that needed
color! The colors bloomed everywhere.

Doug has been interested in art all his life. When he saw the ladies working on this project he asked
“can I do one?” the answer was “of course”. He has
painted, done woodwork and ceramics. He will soon
be doing metalwork.
Inspired by all the colors of glazes that can be used in
ceramics today. The coyote has a beautiful pink beaded
necklace an owl, lizard, turtle, and dragonfly attached.

“Art is communication, creativity, and it provokes emotion.
You can say something with art that transcends language
and cultural restrictions. It can be serious or whimsical.
I especially like the diversity of art. There are as many
ways to express oneself creatively as there are stars in the
heavens. For me personally, art is the truest form of expression.”
Theresa currently shows at four art galleries in Tucson
and Tubac. She also sells her prints and Patio Jewels
on her website. She is both a painter and a sculptor,
and teaches classes on painting. Specializing in Pet Portraits.

I have always appreciated and enjoyed art, animals, and nature. Being both an artist and a lavender farmer, I am fortunate to be living my dream! I like painting in acrylics as well as watercolors. Crafting and coming up with different projects especially with animal and lavender themes is also fun! I am beginning a series of paintings with animals in the lavender so this was a continuation of that theme.
