I love to paint Pegasus! Leaping for the sky or soaring like an eagle, there is something so facinating about a winged horse! I try to paint my Pegs as if they could really be real! From skeletal anatomy to muscles to wing shape and size, creating a flying horse and making him believable is my favorite fantasy painting subject! This Peg painting is 5x7 on birch.

New Work - Break Away
With a shrill, echoing scream of defiance at his human captor, Pegasus springs powerfully into the sky from the high mountain cliff! With strong wingbeats, he is soon just a glittering speck of white against a foggy mountain cloudscape!

New Work - Sahara Gold, Spotted Jack, & Fire Storm
These are three that I just finished up.

"Sahara Gold" is 6x8 on hardboard.

"Spotted Jack" is 5x7 on birch.

"Spotted Jack" is 5x7 on birch.

"Fire Storm" is 2.5 x 3.5 on multimedia art board.

Breed A Week Project - Cleveland Bay
I finally got back to finish this one. I did start it several weeks ago when the Cleveland Bay was the current breed in the Wet Canvas project...just never finished it and ended up going on to other paintings. I tend to do that...a lot. Whenever something new catches my interest, I may stop what I'm working on to start the new project. As a result, I usually have several paintings in progress or just sitting in a corner waiting to be noticed and finally finished. Today, I tried to round up a few of those and did finish several that have been kicked around on my work table for the past month. This one is a 4x6 of a cleveland bay stallion ready for the showring.
