New Watercolor painting

Painting completed recently - no name as yet - not even sure what kind of flower that is. Pretty though, eh ? Poking out from all that green stuff.
Measures aprox 16" x 20" on cotton canvas, mixed media

Tractor!

What a lark ! Got the tractor stuck, then unstuck, and moved hay around just to aggravate the horsey' s. No better fun than this. Tomorrow, back to the grind. Working on an acrylic painting, and an oil - one semi-abstract, and the other a landscape.

Childs Play 2 11" x 14" on stretched canvas

New painting  Childs Play # 2. Number one was finished a while ago, and can be seen in older posts.

The shadows on the face, the tilt, everything about this one was more difficult than the last - I'm still going to play with it - later , much later !

New Painting

I started this one in December, and finally got it finished yesterday. The horses in the painting could never actually exist in harmony, the mare, the stallion, and the gelding, but as I've had them for the same amount of time, and they are good friends of mine, I can wish..

Birdie and Feather - acrylic painting

Christmas time does have something to do with Donkey's doesn't it ? We acquired a little miniature donkey earlier on in the year, and named her Birdie, after 'Mine that Bird', the thoroughbred who won  the Kentucky derby this year.  Here is my first acrylic painting of Birdie and baby. I have not touched acrylics for a while, and enjoyed the speed at which I was able to work with these instant dry paints. 

         

New project - Just finished. torn picture and masking tape carousel horse. One of a kind

New project - found a grey plastic carousel horse, and decided to make him pretty. Glued little horse pictures all over, and torn masking tape for the saddle and hooves. Here he is, all finished. A conversation piece.

Has it really been a month.....?

Time has been slipping away. I've finished about 7 paintings this month, mostly for ebay, but the one above, measuring aprox. 12" by 18" is headed to a show at Boplar Bluff Missouri. I like the way the colors turned out in this one.
Three shows opened and closed this October, and I entered all of them. It's a bit daunting to stick your work out there and then hold your breath to see if anyone likes it. I got lucky with 5 of my paintings - awards of one sort or another. But that is all it is, luck. Another judge another day for the 'plein aire with horse' painting above. It's entitled 'Bringing it on Home' by the way.
