I'm playing catch-up with this one as this breed was featured way back in April in this project. Oh well! Better late than never! This is oil on birch, 2.5x3.5 inches.
This is actual size...
...and a close-up view.

New Work - Shooting Marbles
The centaurs are back! These two boys are getting down on thier knees for a game of marbles! This is an ACEO oil painting on multimedia art board. Check out the ebay listing here;
New Work - Frisky Arabian
This is my second take at this image. The photo is by AinslieG and was presented to the horse artists on WetCanvas as a challenge to be re-created to the artists whims. I already did this as a pen sketch in my sketchbook, but, thought it would be neat to do in oils too. So, this is it! It is 5"x5" on birch. Check out the ebay listing here;

Horse Breed Project - Jenny Wren, an Appaloosa Shetland Pony
Close-up detail
This is a graphite on 8x10 Multimedia Art Board and was drawn for the WetCanvas Horse Breed A Week Project. The project is now going every two weeks instead of weekly.
Jenny Wren was one of the 4 horses my family kept when I was a kid. She was such a character - part demon, part angel! My sisters and I learned so much about horses from this little brown appy-colored shetland pony! This drawing is not being offered for sale as it is staying in the family.
