Jaime Ellsworth

Wings, Original Painting

2021

Artist Comments
"Peg learns to fly!" exclaims artist Jaime Ellsworth about this whimsical horse with wings. Jaime often depicts her own animals in her work. Her paintings are created with many layers of oil and acrylic paint beginning with a limited palette of bold colors. Subsequent layers allow the underpainting to peek through, and transparent glazes give the final surface a subtle tint.

About the Artist
Jaime Ellsworth paints animals. Her career as a cowhand never got off the ground, so she stumbled into art never knowing it would complement her passion for animals so completely. Most subjects are her own, but lately she has expanded out of her corral to include bears and beasts not commonly seen on San Juan Island, in the Pacific Northwest, where she's lived for the last 30 years. She suspects it will be years before she runs out of inspiration or has jeans that aren’t covered with paw prints or paint.
