One Big Painting Done & One Sold


"A Pair And A Spare"         casein on canvas       30 x 40"        copyright 2011
Three horses, who stood feeding at their hay rack,  provided me with their power house posteriors as inspiration. Thus this painting came into being! The back-end of horses has always been a hallmark of my equine work.....I continue the subject in this 30 x 40" casein on canvas. For now "A Pair And A Spare"  will hang in my studio and it is available on my website.

I do like painting big works on occasion and was so elated when I was invited to take part in a exhibit and be included in a Maine Arts Commission  grant in 2009. My painting "Freeport Heroes"  was part of the Freeport Creative Arts group show  "Experiencing Freeport - Showing Our Town Through Art". You can see more about that show in my Sunday, August 23, 2009 blogpost. I was honored to have been chosen as one of the Maine artists to be part of that undertaking. My painting has been exhibited in Freeport since .....and recently sold!

I am enoying the sunfilled day. Winter in Maine at it's best. Nellie sleeps on the bed!

Power posteriors! Great composition and beautiful colors. I can almost hear the stomp of those big feet and the shaking of their manes and tails. Yes, a power painting. Well done!.

Thank you both...It is always a good feeling to finish a painting and see it turn out the way you envisioned. And I have to admit I loved seeing those big guys.I love drafts!

You really capture your horses in how they live as horses. It's not just a picture of a horse, it's a captured moment of life.
