 Close ups

 Ink sketch toned with thinned Alizarin Crimson

Oil on 5x7 canvas board.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Lin was the gracious hostess.

I had to try the foal going for the gusto!
Spring is my favorite time of year. All the new life is a gift from God. It adds continuance and meaning.

I first toned the panel with thinned Alizarin Crimson.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking!

A Tribute-Mare

 Close ups

Acrylic on 12x9 gessoed art board.

Remember the cutting horse painting I posted 6 days ago on Nov. 8th? Well, This painting is for that same lady. It's a tribute painting for her friend who, sadly, just lost this 4 year old mare.

I used basically the same mixed media technique as I did on her Nov. 8th piece. The only difference being that I first applied gesso and let it dry showing the brushstrokes. They wind up showing nicely in the finished painting. I also toned the board with a red acrylic which helps to harmonize/unify the painting. And, yep, I also used a black Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen.

Hope you like it...let me know what you think...pro or con.

On The Wind-Horse

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The host, Skappy, provided the photos.

I had to paint this beautiful horse. It made me think that her spirit was running on the wind, inspiring her to try to keep up .

When I first started on this one, I was very hesitant... not knowing which direction to take it. One color suggested the next color. So I wound up with this. It was so unplanned, it's like looking at someone else's work. I kinda like it.

Thanks for looking!

This beautiful rose was painted by the very gifted artist, Liz Holm! It is her gift to me in my moleskin as part of The Flying Moleskin project.

To Liz: I absolutely love it, Liz! I have personally always found roses to be nearly impossible to paint, so this great gift from you is amazing!

I will cherish it!
