My reference for this watercolor painting was a photo I took in 2001 before Adriana replaced her classic old door with a sturdy modern one. I tried to make the light draw you into the photo and look down the street. I have been practicing this technique with watercolors, and I particularly love this street and this scene of an old man walking home. This is a street my grandfather ran up and down as a child, because on the end you can’t see is the main Piazza of San Pasquale. Sersale is the town my grandfather, his father, his father’s father, for many generations were all born. 500 years of generations, to be exact.
I love to draw horses and truly, I am enjoying painting them too. A horse can convey pride, majesty, happiness, solidity. I am using a reference photo taken by Mirelle Vegers for my horse. This painting is for sale.
I have been working on this horse for about two months and have painted several versions of him, both as small sketches in a notebook, and on large paper. The large paper that I am using is particularly interesting. It’s a Morilla 15″x20″ block of 25 sheets and it was sold before the mid 1960s at the University of Washington bookstore for $2.00. (A block like this one sells for over $60.00 today and you only get 20 sheets) Because the paper is so old, it’s more finicky and brittle, which adds to my fun while I explore painting in such a large format. Watercolors beg for speed,because they just dry. A bigger sheet, slower dry time. But this horse, he needs to be spontaneous and bright.
He and all of his twin brothers are for sale, please contact the artist.
All of the proceeds of my work go to endangered species conservation programs. For more info, contact the artist.
I have loved horses all of my life, and here is one I painted. Horses can show so much by their posture and gait, and this horse shows enthusiasm, courage and a great attitude. He is for sale for $300 at my etsy shop
I painted this winsome couple of kitties and was delighted at the expression on Sparky, the tuxedo cat’s face. Sparky is a favorite at the Ernesto cat sanctuary, and he’s being affectionately rubbed by Sumy, one of the adolescent kittens. This painting is for sale for $70, free shipping in the USA.
