ART SLIDESHOW

❮ Previous Next ❯

The first three slides show "bead and wire" art pieces created by Pat Gaines. She used wire, glass beads, stone beads, plastic beads, and whatever else struck inspiration to create lovely 3-D artwork pieces.

The rest of the slides show selection of rock art paintings by Pat Gaines. She painted well over a hundred of these. She sold most of them, but gave many as gifts to friends and family. Unfortunately, at least two dozen of her last painted rocks were stolen by the assisted living staff where she last lived.

PAINTED FEATHERS

Below is a pot filled with feathers painted with acrylic by Pat Gaines. Tragically, the painted feathers shown in this little cup were stolen by staff at the Lyndale, Edmond OK assisted living facility where she last lived.
