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.

Fading Glory, wildlife, buck

I just added the buck to this older painting, and brightened up the vines. These palm trees no longer exist, the whole area where they used to live was leveled and plowed. A tree farm has been started there.
Thanks for looking!

Dawn's Hope, Florida Sunrise


"Dawn's Hope"

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!


I really sensed a feeling of joy and anticipation as the sun came up and the fog lifted. This painting is symbolic for the way we have a new clean start anytime we chose to trust in Christ. I am not talking about religion, just about talking to God and asking him to forgive us. He is more interested in hearing our thoughts and leading us in a better direction than He is watching us go through the motions of tradition. He speaks to us through nature, through people, and through His word. We just have a hard time tuning in!

Morning's Chatter, fox squirrel

"Morning's Chatter"

This fox squirrel was in a tree near me while I was out early in the morning doing some photography of a ranch. He was not happy with me, and scolded me very loudly as he ran up and down the tree. I just got a couple of pictures of this very large squirrel, and then he ran off.

This is a very detailed painting that I did a few years ago. I painted every leaf and every hair! Found it in storage today, Enjoy!

Just Around the Corner, knife painting, Florida landscape

"Just Around the Corner"


Lori McNamara inspired me for this one. She does wonderful palette knife paintings! I started with the palette knife, but then gave in and finished it up with a small brush.
I love paths, they shout "come and see what is hiding back here . . ." When I was a teenager I used to love to ride my horse on a new trail just to find a new place to sit and take nature in.

Winter Blooms, Florida winter flowers

"Winter Blooms"

These bougainvilleas are blooming in my front yard. Striking colors among the brown grass and leafless trees. It was windy and I didn't stay out long, but I really enjoyed it.
This was my first chance to do any plein air painting in months. After my husband got so sick I stole an hour here and there while he was sleeping. It is so good to have him back! He is about 80% back to his old self. I should say his new self. We are so grateful.
