Black and Yellow Garden Spider in Union, Kentucky

Michelle pointed out this black and yellow garden spider and I had to get a few photos. This is the first time I’ve actually seen one of these in person, and the research I’ve done says they’re fairly common. Anyway, it’s just beautiful with the vibrant yellow against such a deep black. And the center of the web almost resembles a lightening bolt how it’s woven. Pretty cool spider with bold energy. I hope you enjoy the photos.Screen Shot 2013-09-15 at 10.11.54 AM Screen Shot 2013-09-15 at 10.11.41 AM Screen Shot 2013-09-15 at 10.11.10 AM Screen Shot 2013-09-15 at 10.10.41 AM

It breaks my Art. . .

I received a call from a Cincinnati Police officer this evening that the window display I’ve been showcasing my artwork in downtown Cincinnati was smashed this evening, September 10th 2013. I headed down to the scene around 8 pm and I’m just glad that nothing was actually stolen or damaged.

The word on the street is that it was a very tall woman who just happened to be naked and on a rampage. Pretty crazy the effect art can have on a person!

Studio Stag Beetle

Stag Beetle Checking out the Artwork

Look at this big beetle, just chilling on the screen looking at all the art. I bet he’s a painter himself.

Stag Beetle Stag Beetle at an AngleThere was a Stag Beetle at my studio last night, I didn’t know what it was at first, but after taking photos of it with my iPhone and sharing it through social media, people identified it as a Stag Beetle, and sure enough they were right.

This particular beetle appears to be a common male Stag Beetle, also called a “Pinching Bug,” which is one of the largest beetles found in Kentucky. This not so little guy was every bit of 60mm in length. Glad he was able to swing by the studio last night and check out some work. Hope to see him again soon.

Beautiful Horse in Union, Kentucky | 24″ x 20 Acrylic on Canvas

beautifulhorseinunionky

Ever since moving to the country and being surrounded by the beauty of these horses everyday, Jeff Johns knew it was time to start painting them. Johns’ first painting in this equestrian inspired series titled, Beautiful Horse in Union, Kentucky, captures a special horse right off Big Bone Road in Union, Kentucky. While the entire series will be of nature and likely quite a few  horses from Union, Kentucky, he’ll have to figure out how to name the future paintings.

The painting, Beautiful Horse in Union, Kentucky is a 20” x 24” acrylic on canvas, gallery wrapped and ready to hang. Should be finished early August 2013. If you have any interest in this painting, or any others, call Jeff Johns today, 859.630.9657

This painting has been sold for $300.
