Colorful FOLK ART FISH Rainbow Trout Painting on Wood


Rainbow Trout
8 x 10"
Sandra Estes

I thought it might be fun to try some Folk Art paintings on wood. My idea is to paint something more casual or rustic, and keep it simple.
10% of final sale to support Feeding America.

SOLD to a collector in California, USA.

I now have prints, framed prints, canvas prints, and greeting cards available of this painting, on my website: Sandra Estes Fine Art .

Magenta Pink Hand Painted Butterfly Wind Spinner/Sun Catcher Window Hanging Art

Hand painted, hand crafted, sculpted, and designed by the artist (me), butterfly wind spinner/sun catcher/window hanging. It twirls and spins in the breeze and sparkles in the sunlight.


This 2nd butterfly wind spinner/sun catcher is done in shades of pink, magenta and purple.

I used permanently colored silver copper wire, a transparent amethyst glass stone, 2 amethyst swirl glass stones, and a light pink faceted acrylic gem at the bottom for extra sparkle.

I tried to photograph accurately but the butterfly is more pink than it appears and not as bright as it appears in the photos. The last photo against the white background is a more accurate depiction of the color.

The butterfly is approximately 4.5" wide x 5" tall x 1/8" thick.
The overall length from the ring at the top is 14".
This is lovely hanging in a window or on a porch or wherever it catches a slight breeze and sunlight. A unique, one of a kind, gift!

Hand Painted Butterfly Wind Spinner Sun Catcher Window Hanging Art


My newest project is this hand painted, hand crafted, sculpted, and designed by the artist (me),
butterfly wind spinner/sun catcher. It twirls and spins in the breeze and sparkles in the sunlight.

This one is painted in shades of purple, lavender and cobalt blue. The wire is sculpted from permanently colored silver copper wire. I also used transparent cobalt blue glass stones, transparent amethyst glass stones, and a light pink faceted acrylic gem at the bottom for extra sparkle.

The butterfly is wood and is approximately 4.5" wide x 5" tall x 1/8" thick. It is painted on both sides with acrylics, and a satin varnish was applied. I initialed one side. The body and the edges are embellished with glitter paint, and I applied a final coat of stardust glittering varnish for a bit of magic. :)

The butterfly is approximately 4.5" wide x 5" tall x 1/8" thick.
