I have always liked the sweep of lines in this one, the energy and definite chill and

cold freshness of winter it gives. An invigorating remembrance of a sleigh ride in

Canada when I was very little, we were visiting my Nana's family dairy farm. Biggest

 snowflakes I'd ever seen. Dad wore a black bear skin coat. Our legs were covered

 with a blanket. It was so cold but it was wonderful! It's a memory that will stay with 

me forever.

As most of the United States knows, we have a very early deep cold that's moved in- as I write this on the eve of November 10th, it hit about 10 PM, it was like a punch it hit the side of the house so hard. I had ridden one of my paso fino's earlier when it was 75 outside, T-shirt weather, now I will have to wear hat, down coat, gloves and scarf. Brrrrrrr! So to match the weather, I'm showing off my acrylic painting "Absolute Zero".

© "My H'art Leapt"

I found these small heart shaped canvases at my favorite art supply store, and I immediately knew I would enjoy painting little equines on them. They are made of very stiff pressed cardboard that is about 1/8th inch thick and have canvas on both sides. They are within a 5 1/2" square measurement in size flat. I create these with my line style in acrylics. I call them my Horse H'art Series, and I try to incorporate the word h'art in the titles, sometimes as it is spelled as part of a word, sometimes used phonetically. In the coming weeks as we get closer to Christmas I will be starting to have giveaways for my fans and collectors, and there will be some H'arts in the mix.

© "Once Again"

I have been sharing with you the progression of the WIP painting "Once Again", and I finally have the finished painting to share with you. Unlike my flat lines paintings, the lines in this one are dimensional, and there is added acrylic based texture mediums added for further depth. Depending on how this painting is lit, will give it a slight difference in how it looks. It's slight, but interesting. I had so enjoyed doing this technique on another painting that I've definitely decided that this approach will be a part of my creations. "Once Again" has been painted with acrylics on a 16"x20"x1.5" gallery wrap canvas. It is available. Contact me for more info.

 © "Beginnings"

I have been working on painting with the approach of my line technique somewhat opposite of my usual, instead of flat lines, this new way of creating uses texture and raised lines to bring to life my imaginative horses. Doing something new can be an enriching experience, or it can be daunting. I find the new path interesting, and inspiring. There is a spiritual energy that guides my efforts, and this painting evolved to show that relationship between myself and the canvas, and between the subjects in the painting and the viewer. Since trying this new way is somewhat in it's infancy, it's a new beginning, and the painting subject is also a new beginning, therefore I named it "Beginnings" for the mare with the new generation at her side. Her foal looks to her for guidance, support, love and acceptance, and she in kind radiates that loving energy all around and behind and above them both. The rays of white light shine down on the pair. "Beginnings" is acrylic texture and paint on a 24"x20"x1.5" gallery wrap canvas. It is available for purchase. Contact me for more info.

WIP of © "Once Again"

I'm continuing to build on the WIP painting. This is day five of the acrylic painting Once Again. I continued working on the background, darkening the horses head and the leaping horse in the upper right. I blocked in the main horses mane.

WIP of © "Once Again"

Time to revisit my continuation of the WIP painting. This is day four of the acrylic painting Once Again. I moved from working on the front horse to the background, where I added a horses head and form suggesting a leaping horse in the upper right. I'm particularly pleased with the lower horses turquoise eye.

WIP of © "Once Again"

Day three in the continuation of the acrylic painting Once Again. I laid in some background and deeper shadows. I have always liked warm browns coupled with turquoise blues.

I don't have a wip update for you this evening, so instead I thought I'd bring up some of the smalls I have available to get the idea out that these would be great little gifts for the upcoming holidays, who doesn't like that special, one of a kind surprise?

WIP of © "Once Again"

I did some more work on once again by adding some texture to the canvas. There is fiber paste for the background and a mix of modeling paste, gel and course pumice on the horses head and neck. After it dried all day, I put in my beginning block of color, the shadows with brown. Since I have such a love affair with the golden horses you can easily guess where I'm going with that. I don't know what I'll do next, but whatever it is, will be the next installment of this wip.

WIP of © "Once Again"

I have had such a positive response to the painting titled encore from my rhythm and hooves series which is great. I have felt an urge to do more and this reaction just fuels my creative fire even more, and I have 2 wip with this technique started. This one will be shown as a wip with several photographs to allow you to see it grow and gain life. I think I'll be calling it "Once Again". I hope you enjoy the process. It's being done with acrylics on a 16"x20"x1.5" gallery wrap canvas, and will be available for sale once completed.

© "Swing"

This 11"x14"x1.5" acrylic gallery wrap features a horses head done in my line style, using warm ocher and sienna with reds. I just love those golden colored horses with their flaxen mane and tails, or white. Swing got it's name from how the masking formed a couple lines that looked like a swing set seat soaring up into the air. If you'd like to give Swing a home, let me know, he's offered at $125.00.

© "Encore"

There are 12 acrylic paintings in my "Rhythm and Hooves" set, this piece is a 20"x16"x1.5" gallery wrap acrylic of a golden textured horse with accents of turquoise and teal. I've been thinking of how to approach doing my horse paintings in a similar fashion to my line style, but by a different technique. I was very happy with how it developed, and turned out to be one of my favorites.I named it "Encore" with the intention to see if I liked this new way of creating my horses and if my fans liked it and wanted to see more, I'd be happy to oblige and do this again. It is SOLD, so indeed, I will do more!

There are 12 acrylic paintings in my "Rhythm and Hooves" set, this piece is a 20"x16"x1.5" gallery wrap acrylic pair of golden horses, male and female, a couple working as a team in a duet. It was this piece that was done first, and was the inspiration to do the music and dance series for my solo show. I was very pleased with how it developed, and besides a couple others, is one of my favorites.
