"Out on the Town" This little burro portrait captures the sweet nature of this girl as she was greeting people and making new friends in the town square. Her flower garland adds pops of color and complements the lavender shadows on her hair. Burros are intelligent and social animals and make such great subjects for artists as they come in varying colors, sizes and shapes.

The frame has a washed brown finish and Hand-laced with a simple wrap with simple nail accents that add Western touch. Angela Camarillo~ Flying Lead Designs I love working with Lorie Batson who is an amazing local artist of Westcliffe, Co. Together we create beautiful, art work and bring our creative visions together. Being able to frame Lorie's artwork and add my own creative touch has been such an amazing experience. Together, we’re not just creating beautiful pieces—we’re blending our styles and the spirit of our Westcliffe community. Flying Lead Designs~ in the workshop, I’ve been crafting unique, one-of-a-kind frames that elevate each piece of art. My passion for repurposing and sustainability leads me on adventures hunting for vintage treasurers, gathering Western belts, belt buckles, conchos, cowhide and barn wood —all of which come together in distinctive, handcrafted frames. These designs merge Western charm, craftsmanship, and eco-conscious creativity. Angela Camarillo ~ Flying Lead Designs
