Finding Inspiration Part II – Emergence from the Cave

If you have been reading my blog for sometime, you will know I have a place I affectionately (more often not so affectionately) known as ‘the cave’.  I know its name is corny, but it seems to be the best description for the mental place I go when I’m undergoing change, experimenting with the canvas

Finding Inspiration?

Signed, framed and ready to go home.  The portrait of Posey was created for a client turned very dear friend.  I have a few close horse friends, myself included, that have fallen for a special and sometimes “ornery” mare.  Posey is that mare for my friend ‘JZ’.  I always feel an extra warmth when cr

Francis & Harry

Fresh from the easel are two commissioned paintings of mare and foal, Francis and Harry. I was more than halfway through these paintings when I left for my workshop with Vicki McMurry in Texas.  Needless to say, it was difficult returning infused with new knowledge but having started these paintings

Vicki McMurry Workshop, Wenmohs Ranch, Texas 2011

Several years ago, I purchased the book ‘Mastering Color’ by artist Vicki McMurry. I have been enchanted by her luminous landscapes and movement in her brushstrokes ever since.  While her book is always within easy each in my studio, I wondered if I was to take a workshop in person, would I be able

Today I am proud to share with you my completed painting of New Forest Pony Stallion, Polsbury Palermo. I have put a great deal of time into his painting.

Portrait Commission of Friesian Mare, “Rinske”

This must be the month for firsts! A few weeks ago, I posted my first racehorse commission;  ‘Ds Wando’. Today, I’m posting my first completed Friesian commission painting. Here in Ontario, we don’t see many pure, dutch bred Friesians.  I guess this is why I had not yet seen one come into my studio

A Chestnut Gelding Named Justin

Some behind the scenes sleuthing went into my latest commission off the easel.  Justin, an Arab X gelding, is owned and loved by a recent university graduate. Her mother secretly arranged our photo-shoot, selected the studies and subsequently arranged a surprise presentation of the completed paintin

Thoroughbred D’s Wando, from Start to Finish Line

The majority of my commission subjects to date have mainly been Sporthorses; horses bred for the English disciplines of Hunter, Jumper and/or Dressage. They typically but not always, are warmbloods and have similar conformation which makes them competitive in their selected sport.  Completing my fir

Worth the Wait

In November 2009 a client &  friend commissioned me to ‘paint anything of my choosing’.  At first this seemed like an easy task, but it wound up being one of my most challenging  journeys in the studio to date. While I was given the opportunity to paint ‘Carte Blanche’ – I wanted to create something
