This is a great opportunity to own an ORIGINAL ArtOfTheHorse.net painting at a super affordable price! I, also, wanted to mention that on several occasions I have had buyers miss out on purchasing a particular painting because someon got to it first. If this happens I can recreate a very similar painting, remember , these ARE originals to complete a vignette. So let me know if one of the paintings is gone and you would like the similar one and I would be happy to paint another one!
The first painting is titled Pony Brush (pictured above). This is my son's little, well used P'ferde brush for his pony, Ruby. Thats the cute little lady with my son a few years back at their first horse show!



This little gem of a painting measures 6 x 8 and is ready to pop into a frame. Acrylic on canvas panel so no glass needed! $12 + $4.65 for Priority Mail shipping guarantees holiday delivery. I can fit several of these into one envelope so I am more than happy to combine shipping!

Fresian Bubbles

I am having so much fun painting these days. I have been doing a lot of plein air painting trying to capture the spectacular colors of the foliage. I am enjoying the departure from my usual studio work. I have ,also, been on the hunt for the perfect pochade box. I have been researching all over the web and keep coming back to Alla Prima Pochades. They are made by a woodworker named Ben Hagget aand he was a pleasure to do business with. I ordered the 8 x 10 Bitterroot box last week.

My 9 year old son joins me with his little cigar box. I have a little artist in the making!
I have been doing a few horse paintings each week. This one I completed last night. It is an 8 x 10 acrylic on canvas panel. Titled Fresian Bubbles. Image is clickable! SOLD

Studio News

My newest painting is the cute little foal having a good scratch. Hmmm..sounds like a good title! A Good Scratch. This is part of a Wet Canvas challenge to paint 15 animal paintings in 3o days. This one is the result of Thursday night's session. This is acrylic on 8x10 canvas panel. Don't forget the images are clickable for an enlarged view.
Lots of good stuff going on these days. I had a very successful month exhibiting at a local cafe. So successful that my work will be staying up for October. I have a lot of smaller pieces and framed prints with a less expensive price point than my larger watercolors and acrylics and they are moving very nicely. So if you are in town for some leaf peeping be sure to stop into the Bakla Java Cafe on E. Main in Pawling,NY. for a nice latte! Bakla Java is also a supporter of the ArtEast Dutchess County Open Studio Tour at the end of October. So it a really nice bonus to have my work displayed there for the studio tour.

Off to enjoy this gorgeous day!

Watercolor Canvas

It has been a while since my last post but I have been BUSY! This latest piece that I have been working on has been so interesting. I did this on Fredrix watercolor canvas and I have to say I had a love/hate thing going on with this support. It definitely requires a different technique but I played around and ended up with this, as yet, untitled painting. Names please!!! I ended up really enjoying working with this support. This measures 16 x 12 and is watercolor on canvas. I'll be varnishing it tonight and it will be available for purchase on my website.

Show Jumper Completed!

I have just about completed this painting. I have a couple of more things I need to tweak and then it goes off to be framed. I think I may display this up at HITS for the Art Gala next week. I am happy with how this came out. I wanted to keep it loose and very colorful. This is acrylic, 24 x 20 on canvas and titled Flying Colors. Comments always welcome. I have a studio sale on Ebay this week. I will be listing a few prints. So be sure to check them out!
