Love Goat

Sun Horse III

This image was my least favorite of the Sun Horse series that I've been working on, but when I framed it today, it looked pretty good! Amazing how a frame can help complete the work. (watercolor on paper)

Sold!

Don't I Know You, a graphite drawing, sold today to a lady in Arizona! I love that it's found a home and someone appreciates it. The story behind this drawing: When I first brought my horse Roxie to her new home, she was exploring the pasture. I, of course, was taking picture after picture. A little Boston Terrier from next door happened to run into the pasture, and they both stopped to look at each other. I thought it was so interesting that they were both patterned in black and white, so I combined a couple of pictures to create this image--maybe they recognized each other...just a moment in time.

Goats, a work-in-progress

Trees

spent the day with two artist friends--we call our meetings Second Saturdays and we meet monthly to talk about art, share what we're working on, and to critique each other. 

I was so inspired to see their work & talk about what we're all doing. This little piece is still a work-in-progress. It started out as an ink and brush drawing. After meeting with Donna and Tommie Sue, I added gell medium and watercolor washes. Not sure where else it's going, but it's going to keep going.

Roxie times three

Well, for the second time I applied to Women Artists of the West, a group that I admire and would love to be a part of, but I was rejected once again. This is one of the images that I sent. I'm not going to give up--I'll keep working toward that goal. This is an oil on canvas, Dancing to a Silent Tune. It's actually an image of my horse Roxie times three. Went riding yesterday for the first time in a month. The weather was perfect, about 65--beautiful day and a great time spent with Roxie!

this is a very small detail (approximately 1.5") from a much larger watercolor painting on a full sheet of watercolor paper.

My Sisters and Me

My Sisters and Me, an oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, is a work-in-progress. When I paint or draw, things sometimes appear in threes and that always represents my sisters and me. I don't usually do a painting specifically of us...but this one just happened.

Work-in-Progress

I've been working but have several works-in-progress including this one, watercolor on full sheet of watercolor paper, and the following piece. This is titled "Your Invisible Fence is Showing." I'm enjoying working on several pieces at the same time--keeps me on my brush!
