Stampede

12 x 16 oil on stretched canvas

Started this today as a study for a much larger painting, possibly 30 x 40.  I don't usually paint in a large format so I wanted to try it out in a small version initially.  I plan to keep it abstract.

Lawn to Pasture

18 x 24 oil on stretched canvas

This is after my first session on these horses that I painted on top of "On The Lawn Of The Louvre".  I never liked that painting - she looked like a female Paul Bunyan to me so I set out to eliminate her.  There are still a few traces of her in the background but I think after another session she will be completely gone.  I really enjoy painting animals and the light was hitting them just right.

Just Grazing

8 x 10 oil on hardboard

We spotted this horse in the field one day while taking a back route over to the Interstate.  I attempted to paint him in a looser fashion.   This has been a good day to stay inside and paint because it has been raining all day.
