Curious 8″ x 8″
Is he friendly or just looking for treats?
This is #6 in my 8″ x 8″ horse painting series. I am ready to work on something bigger now, but I might revisit this series at some point.

Brothers
Brothers 8″ x 8″
This is number 4 in my series of 8″ x 8″ horse paintings. Part way through this painting I realized something was wrong. The the horse on the right had tiny little ears. They looked really silly and I’m not sure why it took me so long to notice. Luckily it was a quick fix and he now looks very perky.
Looking Toward Home
Looking Toward Home 24″ x 18″
Why another horse? I’m not sure. All I can say is that my paintings are like a trail of bread crumbs – clues to where I’ve been and what I’ve seen. Trying to record the best parts so I don’t forget.

I think I have been spending too much time in the barn lately.

This is Nikita. She lives at Southlands Farm. I am very lucky to have a barn full of horses just 10 minutes away, that I can visit whenever I want.

Study
2 Horses – study 11″x14″
I was hoping to come up with a catchier title for this painting, but as I worked on it, I had a few problems. I think it’s best to chalk it up to practice and name it accordingly.

Yellow Ochre
Spring Bales 18″ x 24″
This painting helped me use up one of the tubes of yellow ochre that I have stockpiled. Sometimes when I’m at the art store, I have trouble remembering what colours I need. For some reason I always pick up a tube of yellow ochre. Even after this painting I still have two unopened tubes in my cupboard (but no burnt umber or sap green which I need most).

Three Chickens
Chickens – triptych 10″ x 30″
Chickens are such funny little animals, yet they always look so serious. They can also be frightening. Just ask my brother who was once traumatized by our Grandma’s rooster. He learned that roosters can run faster than little boys and he didn’t escape without a scratch or two.
In other news:
I have several paintings on display at the Port Moody Art Centre until the end of December. I had a great time at the opening last night and met so many nice people. A big thank you to the organizers, staff and fellow artists at the Port Moody Art Centre.
Fun at the Port Moody Art Centre.
