New Horse painting, 1st layer

Here is an image of a new 24 x 18 oil on gold gessoed canvas. I really like it so far, and am tempted to leave it as is, but I know I'll add to it as soon as it dries.

Hunt Painting, Impressionist style

This is a recently completed small 6"x6" oil on canvas on panel done in the impressionist style. It will be on display and for sale at the Dog and Horse Fine Art Gallery in Charleston, SC. Thank you to Dana Lee Thompson from the Equine Art Guild for providing the image.

Horse Head

Here's the latest horse done in the 'loose' style. It's an 8"x10"oil painted on this new very fine-grained canvas I recently bought and I am now in *love* with! The surface is so easy to work on and it is not slick at all so it really grabs the paint!

Superstars

It was really an honor to see these great beauties up close. Here are a couple of shots of the great Cigar, and Funny Cide taken at the Kentucky Horse Park last month.

Munnings...a Sculptor?

Not only could Sir Alfred Munnings create the most breathtaking horse paintings with seemingly few brushstrokes, gorgeous color and great accuracy, he was also a phenomenal sculptor, as seen in this image of Brown Jack (along with his Pekingese dog, Black Knight.)

AAEA Workshop

Here Lesley points out the 'bony bits' of the horse, and measurements

I am still reeling with feelings of joy from this year's Lesley Humphrey workshop at the Kentucky Horse Park. Lesley was the most gracious instructor with such joy for what she does. We learned so much....we even painted from life using a lovely Haflinger horse as our model. Really, I wish the class could have gone on and on.

The AAEA headquarters look well organized and clean. They now have original art on display when you first walk in which gives visitors a sense of what the AAEA is all about.
