220 White Horse Pike

Another grey horse, this one along with the earlier painting of a draft horse are "thumbnail" paintings. They will be the basis for a much larger painting. I can use them to decide which one to paint larger and a guide for the larger work. If it doesn't look good small, it sure won't look good larger.

The name White Horse Pike is my homage to South Jersey and the Pine Barrens.

219 Gray Draft

We travel to a lot of horse shows, stables, farms and barns for both work and pleasure. One of the most impressive and enjoyable (for me that is) are the draft horses. Here's one, all dressed up, waiting for the carriage classes at the NC State Fair.

218 Sailing Away

What better way to spend a February day than dreaming of the tropics. Sailing on the trade winds. Blue sky, blue sea, no mud, no snow. I am here in the states, but the schooner Russamee is in the Caribbean. After seeing this painting, one woman commented that sailing was on her "bucket list." She needs to go sailing now, for perchance it takes, she will go sailing again and again or it will lie lows, nagging in your subconscious. Like an painter who isn't painting, a feeling of something undone.

217 Mountain Farm Morning

Summer morning in the Great Smoky Mountains. Still cool in the shade, but in the sun is the promise of a hot summer day. Behind me in the trees is a stream. The corn is high and off to the right along the garden fence, the sunflowers are higher still. Sounds good in the middle of February.

216 A Hard Run

A German Shorthaired Pointer after a hard run on a cold winter morning. That green in the background represents the pines at the edge of the field. It was pointed out to me that he has "psycho eyes" in the painting. A trick of the sunlight, but don't German Shorthaireds alway have psycho eyes?

215 A Corgi in Winter

Time for another Corgi painting. My wife, Theresa, set this photo near my easel. I took the hint. A corgi out in the snow on a beautiful sunny day. Wonderful backlight on the dog, with sun sparkling off the snow.

Painting winter and snow paintings on a toned background is really the only way for me. You paint the figures and landscape, the shadows in the snow and then come on with the white, brightening the painting as you add a brushstroke there and a brushstroke here, building up to the bright winter day.

214 In the Flock

I am always amazed at the diversity here just outside Raleigh NC. From longhorn cows to Glouscestershire Old Spots within twenty miles of our house. Old tobacco barns on old tobacco farms, dairy barns on dairy farms, all around the corner. Chickens, guineas, donkeys just down our road. Albino deer running across the front yard, driving the dogs nuts. Squirrels and rabbits. Tree frogs....

Today's painting, Theresa and I took a drive around the county a week or so ago and came across a flock of sheep. Unlike the longhorns down the road, they decided they didn't want us around and began moving away. We had to move quickly to get the cameras out to take photos to use as reference for paintings. On this painting I decided to move the calendar forward a bit and green up their pasture.

212 Evening Fire

I had a very hard time photographing this painting and I am still not very satisfied with the image, it just doesn't show the color and the light in the original.

Here you see another of my repeat models. Fidget has been painted lying on the carpet in the sun, on the piano bench, lying in the sun, outside in the evening light and lying in the sun.

Scroll down and you can see a close up of the painting. The bumps and texture in the painting are actually the threads of the canvas.

211 Corgi Puppy 2

Throop, pronounced "troop" like the Thames River, is the latest addition here at the studio. At ten weeks old he was commanding from the top of the front porch steps, surveying the yard whose security has been placed in his capable paws. Now nearly one year later, he still takes his work seriously, coming inside for a break or nap. I photographed this painting as it progressed to give you a look at the painting process.
