123 Oklahoma at Saratoga

Another painting from our Spring trip to Saratoga. This is at the Oklahoma Track. Yes, it's called that and no it's not. It is in NY. Great old barns dating back to the mid 1800's and wonderful light at 5am.

122 Waiting

Yes, I have been at horse shows since September. I think it's beginning to affect me. Wednesday I was honored to be allowed to watch and photograph a local hunt. When I arrived I was handed over to Mr. Fred, the retired huntsman. Mr. Fred drove his Mazda pickup down lanes and across fields. Like a fast boat ride across choppy seas. We waited in one spot for a while, then drove back, down the highway, down a county road and up a dead end road to reach the other side of the hill.

Sitting on the side of a country road, looking down a long driveway waiting for the hounds to show. "They will cross about there and then either head away from us or come toward us and turn..." Mr. Fred was sitting in the truck, I got out for a while to take some photos with the long lens. After half and hour, forty five minutes, the people whose home we were parked in front of must have gotten a bit suspicious, because a sheriff's car pulled up behind, lights flashing. Mr. Fred, who happens to be eighty-nine was able to convince the deputy that we were innocent citizens, just waiting for the hounds. While waiting for the hounds, two riders showed up on the road. Whippers-in, they were there to keep the animals off the road. The study below is of one of them. She was actually standing in the road, but I used a bit of that artistic license.

121 Horse Wash

This study was done from a number of reference photos. I wanted to do a painting of a horse being washed, with the backlight illuminating the spray of water. I am not sure if this will be a layout for a larger painting or if it will head in another direction.

120 Three Cows

Another painting from our trip to the Pennsylvania Amish Country. It was early spring, no leaves on the trees yet. Still cool, but sunny. You now. Maybe it's too cold to go outside, sostick your head out the window and enjoy the sun.

119 Upperville Oak

When it comes to painting at horse shows, (which if you didn't know, I happen to do a lot. Especially old showgrounds with old grandstands and buildings with character. No landscaping, just landscapes.) the Upperville Horse Show is in my top two (depending on the weather). The Upperville Show has been going on since 1853, the oldest horse show in the USA. (They did have to stop for a few years in the 1860's.) The showgrounds and the rings are filled with old oak trees, which makes for easy painting. Just find a spot to set up the easel, look around and paint.

Since the oaks are living trees and some very old, the show does loose them to disease and storms, but they are constantly replanting trees to continue the tradition. Here is a painting of a jump under an oak which is no longer there.

Painting Sizes

Greetings from the NC State Fair Horse Show. Today showing are Draft Horses and Light Draft horses including Haflingers and Gypsy Vanners.

The larger size is 5 x 7, while only an inch larger in each direction is nearly fifty percent larger than the 4 x 6

Far Pasture - 3 x 5


Pig in Garden - 4 x 6

Beach Ride - 5 x 7

8 x 10, 9 x 12, 16 x 20 etc are just bigger.

100 Dolphin

I am ending the first 100 paintings and starting the second phase of this now ongoing project with this dolphin painting. The photo was taken from my brother-in-law's 65' research vessel, Weatherbird, as the dolphins played in the boat's wake. My last encounter with dolphins was kayaking with my wife in Jarrett Bay off of Core Sound in NC. The bay averages 1 - 3 feet in depth. We both heard what we thought was the other's labored wheezing, until looking around we were in the midst of 2 dozen dolphins. A totally different experience when you a down at waterlevel and surrounded. We tried to keep up with them but they took off across the bay to the sound.

92 German Shorthaired Pointer

German shorthaired Pointer out in the field. This girl is not our Shorthaired Gizmo. But I will tell you about him anyway. Gizmo is another family rescue dog, who was found at the pound. We don't know his early history, but he is deathly afraid of gunshots, fireworks etc. A bit schizo and of a rather sensitive personality, we try not to get him excited. Along with the Rottweiler, he is our guard dog, keeping UPS and mailman from invading our yard.

90 Show Llama

Why do I call this painting "Show Llama"? You see the nice neat mane, flowing off to the right and left? Well, that is not natural. Our llamas would have anything and everything stuck in their manes. If they were out in the woods, it wasn't unusual to find 2-3 foot long tree branch hanging from one's mane.
At a recent horse show, I was discussing llamas with an exhibitor. They had friends whose llamas would spit and butt you with their heads. Ours were nothing like that. Willie and Magic just didn't lower themselves to interact with mere humans. We were welcome to bring them food. In fact the only time one of them tried to spit at me was when I was taking food away. My shop was in one of the areas set aside for them. If I was working outside, they would come up to watch. But only on their terms. The reason for the long neck is so that they could look down on you.

87 Piano Study

Last week we went to the opening reception for the Show your Swine art show. While enjoying the artwork, the wine and food we were fascinated by the piano player who was set up in front of windows with the late afternoon/evening sun coming through. Of course, I had no camera with me nor easel and paints (probably would be frowned upon at the event) or even a sketch book (that would have been fun), so I asked one of the directors of the Art Council if she would take some photos for me. She already had taken some and she took some more. This painting is really a study for a larger work. Should it be called a piano etude?
