"The Battle"

8x10
oil painting
This painting is something I have never done before-a war scene but this is not an actual war just a re-enactment captured by a photographer friend of mine, David Churchill. When he showed me some of the photos from the re-enactment he saw, I said I was drawn to the action of the horses so he said "paint it". I used his photo for reference but changed some things and has sparked a thought to create a series of civil war horses. I will be doing my research and try this new series.

"Grazing" Oil Painting

8x8
Oil on board
Just off my easel! I love painting horses and this mother and baby belong to the Hanover Shoe Farms. It is that time of year when you drive by the fields of mothers and babies and I have to stop and take pictures for future paintings.
