Horses In Paint

This past weekend I taught a two day workshop on Horses In Paint. It was great. The talent that the artists had was so refreshing and it made my job so easy to help them find their own style and help them along the way. I was really happy with the results. Saturday am we worked on anatomy. I was able to borrow a skull, foot and hock bones to use. Then after lunch they sketched their photos on their canvas and start with their color washes. Sunday was spent finishing the paintings. They looked awesome. Good job to all! I have attached the one I started on. It just has the start of color washes on it. The workshop was held at The Aiken Center For The Arts.

Reindeer Ornament

SOLD
Today was the first chance I got to sit in my studio for a couple of hours and I took advantage. I sketched out an acrylic painting I am going to do for the Aiken Center For The Arts Juried Show: Retrospective of Aiken. Will post pics... not sure if I will do pics as I progress or just when it is completed. We will have to see. I also did a "One Painting A Day" piece. It's an ornament my Dad and Mom bought for me of a reindeer ornament. It has all this great fluffy furry stuff around it's neck. One of my favorite ornaments.

Peek-A-Boo

I finally finished a painting I had started when I was teaching an adult beginner acrylic class at Aiken Center For The Arts. I love the expressions I was able to put on canvas. I have a love of horses, tirtles and giraffes. There are only 8 or 9 species of giraffes and these two come from Niger. There are only 100 or so left and so preservation is a huge issue now. If the giraffes cross the border into Nigeria they are killed [poached.) So sad. The title is "Peek-A-Boo, I see you". It is 24" x 18" and unframed is for sale at $225. It is on wrapped canvas so framing would not be necessary. If interested please email southernescapeart@yahoo.com
