pretty song friday

painting: inquisitive horses (06/08/17)

I was playing with all the brights. I usually leave out green, and this time there’s just a touch. I usually stay away from moments where a horse is pulling a face, but in this case I thought it was a good match for all the colors. Playful and silly.

paintings: horse friends (06/06/17)

I’ve been trying to paint horse friends, with one more to show off tomorrow. People tell me what I should paint, and sometimes I listen. Friendly horses hanging out, yes, that’s a visual concept I can get behind. I’m told I should paint fewer horse butts, but I think I’ll ignore that advice for a while longer.

painting: German Shepherd (06/01/17)

It’s June already? June? Oh, my! I haven’t even started Christmas shopping and we’re almost halfway there. I can’t believe it. Time gets away, doesn’t it? Like my visit with this beautiful dog. It was two July’s ago! I meant to paint him ever since, but he kept slipping down in my to-do list. Down to the bottom. But he’s so pretty, I kept him on my radar and finally said, “Today’s the day.” Because he’s just too perfect to let slip away entirely.

My painting mojo ebbs and flows and this week it definitely whooshed back in.  I will have six paintings to list, so keep checking back and see what’s new. 🙂

This one is painted on an extra-deep canvas, with the colors wrapped around so it will not need framing.
