I used another photo of Gary Odell’s for the image reference. He shares a ton of great photos.
I’ve listed the painting in my etsy shop. Thanks for looking. 🙂
painting: reflection
Oil on canvas, 12″x12″
Another painting from a reference photo by Gary Odell. I pulled several of his images one weekend, and was so excited by them that I sat and painted them over the next couple weeks. The lighting, the poses…each had something special I wanted to interpret through paint. In this one, it was the light through the mane and tail. I also like the reflected colors playing over the back and stomach. And water? Yes, it’s more difficult than it appears.
Available in my etsy shop. Thanks for looking. Sold, thank you. 🙂
painting: Together Alone
I painted this from a reference photo shared by Gary Odell. He takes great photos, and is very generous by making them available for artists to use.

There’s a lot of “wow” factor to this one in person. I will be sorry when it sells. The reference photo I worked from was taken by Gary Odell, of wild horses in–I think–Arizona.
I imagine the horses’ lives are constantly on edge, with dangers from inside and outside the herd. Trust is pretty rare.

Like probably a lot of you, I am on hiatus from my day job, unneeded in our new paradigm. I saw the snowball rolling on this one, and stocked up on painting supplies in advance–if I was sitting home, at least I could be painting, right?
So I am open to all requests, and appreciate your business very much.
We’ll get through this, and find a new appreciation for what we do have.

painting: horse butt
Remember my friend told me to stop painting horses rear-view, because no one wants to see that? I did turn them around for a while, but I think just as many people like to see horses going away as coming towards. Right? Plus, my rule is to paint things I’d like to hang in my own home.

painting: horse friends (11/16/19)
We’re rounding down to the end of the year, and I’m working on Christmas requests. I hate that I can’t share the finished images with you, but you never know that the recipient of the gift might not stumble across the image and have the surprise ruined. So you won’t get to see them until my end-of-the-year compilation of the whole year’s works. But rest assured, I’ve painted some very nice doggies. 🙂
These friendly horses are available in my Etsy shop now. I usually do not paint with the color red, but am trying to incorporate it here and there. I find it difficult to match the values against other colors. In the above painting, I like the little bit of blue shadow created by the ear of the red horse cast over the white muzzle of his friend.
