More tribal, southwest horses paintings.

 

War Horses Welcoming Spring

Mother Earth is bursting full of spring and beginning to shower the meadows with flowers and spring colors of new grass and plants. This painting is 16x20, it is unframed, but it's on a half inch wrapped canvas so you can frame it if you wish. I have a wide golden frame here and this painting looks fantastic in that frame. As of December 5, 2021 I've got it listed in my Etsy shop.

"One Herd, Many Colors"

Horse herd racing across the prairie, many horses, of different colors, but all one herd.

This painting is 22X28 and is on a flat piece of masonite. It would require special framing. It's available in my Etsy shop.

"She Carries Light to her Horses"

What is this world without light? It helps us see, and it makes things grow! Mother Earth is doing her job.

This painting is small and is in my Etsy shop.

All three of these paintings are available as of Dec 5, 2021. I won't update this post as things sell, but all links go to my shop, so you might find something you like there even if these are gone.

I also have paintings represented by Equis Art Gallery, Red Hook, New York, and Paris Gibson Museum, Great Falls, Mt.

Here are some of my latest paintings. This one is named, "On the Cave Wall".  It was represented by the Equis Art Gallery in Red Hook, New York and is sold.

"Carrying Sunshine to her Horses"

"She Reaches out to Many Things but Only Touches the Horse"

This is how some of the paintings begin. I painted the canvas black, I added a thick layer of white paint.  I drew and scribbled into the white paint, threw water on it and picked up the wet paint, and I dropped India Ink into the surface. That created the black and white image you see above.

"Oh How They Danced When The Horse was Created"

When I began to add color, I noticed those wild figures dancing in the background. This kind of reminded me of the days when I was in high school and I loved reading Greek Mythology. One figure is kind of devilish with horns and a tail but I left him in there as some horses are kind of full of mischief and devilish, they're not all perfect, lol!

When I'm painting, I have learned to step myself back and let a painting become what it wants. They just about always let me know. A day or two after I've created a painting, I can not recall the process of painting it, it feels like someone else must have done it.  It's hard to explain what happens when a painting is being created. The process takes over and I'm just a conduit.

"Thank You for the Blessings of the Horse"

Through much the same process a painting is created, the horse came about and Mother Earth loves her creation.

If you happen to come across this blog, I hope you enjoy it. It began many years ago and has a lot of posts.  Take a minute to look back on some of them! And thank you for being here.
