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.
My mother adopted a cat several years ago and named her ZsaZsa. ZsaZsa was a cat full of herself, a great open hearted friendly cat. She recently died at the grand age of 16, so this painting is a memorial to her and also a study in painting white.
