Out to Pasture, landscape with horse and pond

"Out to Pasture"

About This Painting:
One of my favorites. Lots of symbolism here. The cattle are a memory of the horses old job. He is headed for the shade of the trees to rest and enjoy the day. The end of summer is for the last season of life. The peaceful glow in the water and the hidden bird is for the new life that is found after this one.

I was inspired from a camping trip, I went for an early walk and came across this scene.  I combined several pictures of this area to get a stronger composition.

This is an award winning painting.  It continues on the sides, so framing is optional.

Lead Me Home, horses in their first snow

"Lead Me Home"

About This Painting:
These Florida horses now live in Georgia, snow is not something they are used too!

This painting is for Diane Cletzer. Her horses are in their twenties now, so I am sure this was quite an ordeal for them! They have been together all their lives, so this painting kind of takes on a spiritual meaning if you think of home as being heaven.....

R.C.'s Poncho, horse portrait

"R.C.'s Poncho"

About This Painting:
R.C. was killed last year in a car accident. He was just 21 years old. This is his horse, Poncho.

R.C. was a guide for hunters at an exotic wildlife ranch, and Poncho was his partner. Poncho stood in the front, near the coffin, during the whole funeral service, which was held in the large hanger at the ranch. There was standing room only with over 500 chairs.

R.C. went to school with my son, Kyle, and was an outstanding student His smile and encouragement touched everyone he encountered. He knew no strangers and went out of his way to make anyone feel accepted. He is greatly missed.

Painted Paint, A paint horse up close

"Painted Paint"

About This Painting:
This was inspired by Kathy Papasso's painting called "Bull's Eye" which I have always thought was an exceptional painting (see my side-bar for her work).

I wanted to capture the texture and close feel of the fur, but the eyes quickly took over to become the focal point. I used two pictures of Paint Horses, and two of Thoroughbreds for references. Then I free handed the drawing onto the canvas before I began painting it. It has taken over a month to finish it.

Tall Glass of Water

" Tall Glass of Water"

About This Painting:
I'm not sure about the water, it may need a little more work. I like the sunlight on the horse's shoulder and his neck. I took pictures of this horse in the grass, and made up the water and the reflection, so it has been taking me a few days to get it right.

My Daily Painters group is posting reflections today so that they come up tomorrow on the same day. We try to do a theme on the first Wednesday of each month.

This painting makes me think about Psalms 23:

He makes me lie down in green pastures and He leads me beside the still waters . . .

Grounded, equine art

"Grounded"

I took some photos of this mare and foal a couple of years ago. I have wanted to paint them ever since. So I finally got to it! I was attracted to the morning's back-lighting, which added tremendously to the sense of wonder that the foal seemed to have.

Escape, abstract, palette knife painting

"Escape"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard
$950.00

ready to frame

Lots of thoughts going through my mind. Wanted to create the feeling of a struggle or battle.

Life seems to come crashing down on us so easily, and we feel like we are going to drown in the sorrow and negative forces. But God promises a way of escape, and always makes a way for us, especially when it seems like there is no way out.

The horse symbolizes us in the storms we face. He is determined to overcome the trials, and so he does!

The light on the other side is where God made a way for us to find rest from our struggles. Jesus made that way for us.

This painting was done alla prima, or all at once. It has thick swirls of paint, applied with a painting knife instead of a brush. This technique makes some interesting and cool effects.

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man, God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (First Corinthians 10:13)

This young colt just moved in next door. He is quite friendly and I was delighted to get a few nice pictures of him before he got so close I couldn't get him in the view finder! His little nose is so soft, and he seems to have no fear. I finished painting him this afternoon.

Sweet Summer, Montana Art

"Sweet Summer"
12 x 16 inches
Acrylic on canvas
(painting continues on sides, ready to hang, framing is optional)
$750.00

This is one of those paintings that holds far more than meets the eye. These are the Swede Mountains that I rode horses all over when I was 12 years old. There is a look-out-tower at the top. My friends would lend me a horse for the day and off we went, bare back, to see if we could get there. This mountain range continues off to the left, and stretches out for miles.

This pasture is the one that my brothers and I used to cross to go fishing. Libby creek is just behind the tall stand of trees. When I went back to my grandmother's old house last month I also went to the neighbor's house across the road (Paul and Virginia Miller). They were gracious and took me back behind their property where I saw this view and the floods of summer memories poured out again. I had to hold back the tears as I thanked them for including us in so many camping trips, berry picking adventures, and wonderful hikes up in the Rockies.

Mural, completed

The right side of the mural is finished. Here are some views of it. I blocked off the window and got some better photos this time.

The top photo is the left side. Added some more flowers and brightened up the lighting. Scroll down to see more.

I have run into problems with the priming of the next two murals. The paint is not adhering to the wall. I have to sand and re-prime the walls--very disheartening! I had already started major fill-ins!
