Wild Beauty, Original Contemporary Farmhouse Equestrian Painting 24" x 18" x 0.75" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas Hand-signed by the artist.

Debra Benditz Texas Artist Image Size: 48 x 36 Medium: Oil "Riding at Dawn" Cowgirl We will only ship in the Continental United State for posted shipping price.

I gazed in awe at the tall bookcases, art-covered walls and my grandfather’s art nouveau postcard...
