Biker Dude

Biker Dude; poised, confidant, in control.  Ahhhhh, youth!  This is a companion painting to "Biker Chick" posted a while back and from the same family photos.  So much fun to paint, one more coming.

Harbor Morning

Sunrise may start quietly but it can be spectacular when it opens up the sky with color.  This is the view from my mom's house in Gig Harbor.  Happy Mother's Day all you moms out there :)

Between the Stirrup and the Ground....

                                  Mercy I Asked, and Mercy I Found.

I've been working on this awhile, inbetween other projects.  It is a work in progress, I can already see some changes to be made, but I'm provisionally happy with it.  Although I like painting portraits, sometimes I just want to do something different, so this is an "illustrative" portrait, the story of my life with horses.  It's a mix of painting and collage with lots of layers.   Each detail brings back many great memories and some life-shaping ones too.

Afternoon at the Farm

It's a good place to live for man and beast.

Irish Draught

sold

This handsome fellow is an Irish Draught stallion, Snowford O'Donnell, that is currently standing at Rocky Bay Equine.  He is quite a gentleman, even this time of year when hormones are running high.  I may need to simplify the background but I like the head study.
