Hi, I haven't been here in a while and then had to re-register, but I wanted to show you all some of my horse paintings. Most of them were sold over Christmas, so I'm glad I keep photos of them. I usually paint on Mi-Tentes paper, as I have trouble getting sanded paper where I live. Hope you like them.

These are great! I love that you zeroed in on just certain parts of the animal. Very beautiful and very well painted. Thanks for sharing these lovely paintings. Gene

WOW!!!! How alive they feel. I grew up around horses and this makes me miss those days. Horses have such heart and it shows in their eyes, you have reminded me of that feeling I would get when I spent the day just me and my favorite horse whether it was riding or just hanging out in the barn, homework in my lap and the smell of fresh hay, her soft muzzle coaxing me to rub her head and neck.
Thanks, Peggy

Thank you, Gene, Peggy, and Jim.

I'm glad to know that you like them so well.There is a big horse show coming up that I'll be showing my work in, and I'm really nervous about whether it is good enough.

You guys sure made me feel better.

Diane, IT IS GOOD ENOUGH! Don't worry....................this message of encouragement coming from someone who always questions if her work is good enough. I just got a painting of mine accepted into a good art show here in town, and am always thrilled to realize that maybe "it is good enough"! Good luck on selling. I really love this middle one! Gene

Hi Diana,

What a joy to see paintings that make me say "oh, wow". I love your work - it is excellent and captures strong personality and essence from both the subject matter and the artist. It looks like you definitely get into a "flow" or "zone" when you paint. Keep painting and sharing.

Thank you, Leon, Gene, and Michelle

I appreciate all of the great comments. I'm always being told I should do full body horses, but I don't think you can really "see" them unless you can look into those eyes. My arab mare and quarterhorse gelding are really great inspiration and don't mind a bit being models as long as I have enough horse cookies. lol My avatar is a painting I did of my mare.

Here is another one I forgot to post earlier. Hope you like it. I called it "Gold Coins".

Hi,  I've been doing some display work for my boss so I haven't gotten much painted lately, but here is something new I'm trying. It's done in acrylic. Tell me what you all think.
