Linda & Red

24"X22"
framed Watercolour

This is one of my favorite things to do, 
draw and paint horses in the snow.  Linda has been
my riding instructor and friend for many years.  She
often displays this nurturing gesture with her horses, untangling the knotted hairs in their manes.

"Draft Horse" (Canadian)

30"X40"
1 1/2 inch deep Acrylic on Canvas

One of several Canadians at the Vicary/Landry Farm.   This painting was inspired by Stewart, who I hope to ride in the new year.   They are such gentle creatures but strong and hardy to withstand our harsh Canadian Winters.

This painting is included in the present exhibit at the Roxy Gallery in Owen Sound.

"GRAFFITI"
(spottie)

This Pastel Drawing was a labour of love having been one of many who have road this Majestic Appaloosa at G.R.A.C.E. Therapeutic Riding Stables in Owen Sound.  His quiet but Strong Nature makes him an excellent GRACE horse, despite his Classy Hunter Showing  career.  This painting will be put up for auction (along with many other wonderful related items) at this years annual fundraiser for G.R.A.C.E. 
called "Stepin Out" Dinner /Dance and Live Aution at the Bayshore  Community Center, Oct 27th at 6:00pm Tickets for Stepin Out $40.00
(tickets call Betty Wood 519-376-5234)

Its a great cause, not only has it helped me regain my confidence and stamina but it has helped many others with physical and mental challenges.

"SUNSET TRIO"

Diptych  (2) 4'X3' 
Acrylic/Collage on Canvas
This was inspired by a two friends who wanted
a painting, but they couldn't agree on the subject.
One wanted a Jazz focus and the other wanted
a Landscape painting.  Here is what I came up with...I think
it worked out pretty good.
