RACE YA HOME!

Early one crisp November evening, just around moonrise, we were driving home. I (passenger!) caught a movement out of the corner of my eye,  and looking around, I saw some horses running along in their field, almost as if they were racing the car.  They were headed back to a barn that I could see a ways away, and obviously, were looking forward to their dinner.  It was a magical moment to see these guys thundering past, and we slowed the car to keep pace with them for the few seconds it took before their trail turned away to the barn. This moment has lived in my memory for several years, and I knew that sooner or later, I would paint it.  So here is my memory painting - "RACE YA HOME" , an 8.5 x 10.5 watercolor on Arches 140 Hot Press.

New Beginnings

Welcome to my brand new blog!  It's new because my old one vanished over night, in fact, all the blogs I posted to, went along with it.  I can't do anything about the other blogs, but this one, we were able to start over with.  That's sort of fun, and in that spirit, I chose colors that are among my current favorites because I want to have some fun with this.
I chose an image from the old blog to open this new one - "STEPPING LIGHTLY", a 14 x 18 watercolor on Arches 300lb hot press paper.  Don't worry, Mum never so much as brushed against her baby when she stepped out of the tangle he had made of his legs! This painting is on my website and is available.
