	Emily´S Corn With the outstanding success of his sold-out releases The Egg Inspector, Emmie’s Catch, Spilled Milk and Apple Girl, Morgan Weistling has found a home in the heart of the art world. The sweet innocence of his subjects and Weistling’s skill as a painter combine to produce art that is as accomplished as it is irresistible. Emily’s Corn invites us to re-enter the warmth of the farmhouse kitchen. (See options...)

	Emmie´S Catch "It always amazes me how children who grow up around farm animals are so confident in handling them. I didn´t have that farm upbringing, so when a four-year-old girl grabbed a chicken and hugged it wildly right in front of me, I marveled. Little Emmie held on for quite a while before the chicken broke free-only to be quickly wrangled again by her little blonde friend. I love to capture moments of joy like the one I saw on this day."

	Etta Cassandra Barney evokes the emotions of the viewer through her frank, compelling portraits of the "muses" of our daily lives, with their soft, gentle eloquence and mysterious beauty. Courting Pandora, Barney´s recent show of original paintings, was based on the female archetype of Pandora who, according to legend, could not resist opening a mysterious box which unleashed evil on earth (but also contained "hope"). "I don´t feel that Pandora was tricked into, or was naively curious about opening that box," says Barney. "Remember, she was the culmination of all the gods´ gifts to man and not just some passive beauty. I think she intentionally brought the balance of good and evil into the world. The elusive butterflies that flutter about Pandora, Etta and Ramona whisper of the women´s passions, hopes and fears, inviting you into their intimate reflections. Displayed on their own, or combined with Cassandra´s other works, these distinctive gems capture the simple eloquence of life´s many moods. (See options...)


	Even Superman Needs A Dad Driving through a parking lot, I saw a boy and his father coming out of a store. The boy was imagining himself as a mighty hero, but he looked at his father with more admiration than any hero is likely to receive. Right then, I knew I had to paint "Even Superman Needs a Dad." This father took an interest in everthing his son had to say. Every moment seemed magical. While this little boy looked a bit out of place dressed in a Superman cape and red cowboy boots, his father could not have looked prouder. Who was the real Hero? Who was more in awe of whom? When I look around at the thousands of Supermen who play alone each day it breaks my heart. Looking at these two I remember a wonderful father who took the time to be there for me, who taught me by example what a father should be. I enjoy watching someone look at the painting for the first time. Their gradual smile tells me they understand the feeling that brought about this painting. For a brief moment they forget there are bills to pay and work to do. They forget their worries and remember for a moment that life is wonderful. That is the joy in painting. (See options...)

	Fairy Tales The woodland floor is barefoot soft, Golden butterflies float aloft. Wildflowers all in bloom, The fairy tales are beginning soon. Forest children gather round, Awaiting the fairy's magic sound. At this time, when morning breaks, The fairy made of stone awakes. She reads her wondrous tales aloud, To the small, but faithful crowd; Those who've gathered amongst the trees, The little childrn who still believe. They believe and have no fear, They believe and so can hear! (See options...)

	Families Are Forever For some time now I have challenged myself to capture "letters" hidden in the world around us. Our customers have enjoyed creating personalized pieces of art from our extensive collection of photographs. For the first time, we are offering something with even more meaning. I have managed to create words using beautiful photographs taken of temples and temple grounds. Can you read..."Families Are Forever"? (See options...)

	Feeding The Geese “Growing up on the farm,” says Morgan Weistling, “I always loved to feed the animals. This painting brings back childhood memories of my two sisters and I. “I love to paint geese because their natural design is so decorative. I named each goose as I painted it—I had Daisy, Lobelia, Bungo, Pippin, Eleanor and Hamfast—and had some fun painting Bingo, the lone duck, peering out at the viewer.” Morgan was recently featured in Western Art Collector Magazine in an article that declared, “...he can paint any subject matter—still life, landscape or figurative work. His painterly style, control of light and color values are outstanding.” Weistling was also heralded as an “heir apparent” to modern Western masters Howard Terpning and Mian Situ in Art of the West Magazine’s 20th Anniversary.

	Fiona Clothed in garb of cobwebs and moonlight, Fiona catches your gaze. Like all of the sídhe (faeries) she is breathtakingly beautiful, but Fiona is more than meets the eye. Celtic legends tell of men and women who followed the unearthly music of the faeries deep into the woods and were never seen again. Other folk tell a friendlier tale of the leanan sídhe, the faerie muses who protect artists and poets in exchange for their immortal love. James Christensen’s Fiona shines in her natural adornments. If you look closely, you’ll see the half-hidden subjects of her kingdom: flowers, animals and insects, hidden amid her garments. If you look closer still, you just might find exactly what you seek, but beware—the promises of faeries are fleeting and nothing is ever quite what it seems. (See options...)
