WIP - Arabian Montage

Just started this one yesterday.  It is 9x12 and will be in color, but, I am sketching it in with black and white to start out.  When I do these kinds of montages, I work them out as I go, so, there can be a lot of changes and adjustments along the way.  I do not work with any reference materials at this point.  It is just 'made-up' images...whatever I think might work in the composition.  Later, when it gets down to the nitty-gritty, I'll pull out the anatomy books and ref. photos to improve the details and conformation of my horses.   New updates to this work in progress will be added to the end of this same entry.  You can click on these photos to see larger views.

New Work - Red Roan Pegasus

I just finished this one for a swap.  It is 9x12 on canvas.

Here it is in its new frame, about to go in its shipping box.

New Work - Percheron

This is not a totally new painting, just one that got a new facelift!  I reworked the background mostly and added some more color and highlights to the horse and added more forelock. 

This is a new 4x6 painting...a little something for christmas!  If it seems too early, it's because if I don't do it now, it just won't get done!  I may use it for my christmas cards this year, too.
"Christmas Star" 4x6

OK, I have ignored this blog for too, too long...ever since I discovered...yes, I... discovered facebook!  Well, I feel I already have too much invested in this blog to just let it die, so perhaps out of guilt, I do intend to begin regular weekly postings again.  Sorry I forgot you blog...it's all Facebooks fault!

So, to help get back up-to-date, here are some artworks finished during the blackout! All of the ACEOs (2.5x3.5") are shown life-sized.  You can click on the others photos to bring up larger views.
