Dana Spring Parish lives on a South Texas ranch , the Rockin' P Ranch , with her husband Tom , two boys and a menagerie of animals . Her love of the country life and the Longhorns , goats , horses , ponies , sheep , etc. is reflected in her work . Besides being a painter and rancher , Dana tells me she and her husband are both photographers . In her Etsy profile she states ,'' Every day is a new opportunity to capture the antics of our adorable menagerie. When a Longhorn manages to open a gate and peer through the bedroom window or a goat happens to jump into the truck and ride with me into town that just adds to the storybook atmosphere of my life. If it sounds gross to you, then you would not be happy living here at the Rockin'P Ranch. For me....it does not get any better than this and I hope you can see the bliss that is portrayed in my art. '' You can certainly see all that in her work ! To see more of Danas' art go to her Etsy shop , http://leicalady.etsy.com/ and her other two sites , http://leicalady.wordpress.com/ or http://danaspringparishartist.wordpress.com/ .

New In My Shop

This is one of the new Leaf Paintings in my shop . My paintings are all original paintings and are one of a kind , meaning I will not paint the same one twice . Some are not framed , but if you wish for me to add the leaf border and frame , let me know . Framed , they make great gifts , decorative accessories and conversation peices . Etsy Texas Crafters First Monday Specials is coming up September 3 , 2007 . I will have items in my First Monday Specials section of my Etsy shop , marked down from two to five dollars off each item ! And will send a five dollar gift certificate with each sale over ten dollars !

Wall Mural

This is a 4x8 foot mural that I painted for a neighbor . Although I like to paint large , I was a little apprehensive at first , but was soon able to relax and enjoy the work .
