"Lil Gus"

My latest landscape painting. "Lil Gus" was plein air painted at Aiken Equine Rescue in Aiken, SC. An absolutely wonderful place. Beautiful views everywhere. $150 framed in a beautiful wide brushed gold and walnut frame. All proceeds will be donated back to the equine rescue. My way of giving back to such a worthy cause. Painted on a stretched canvas in acrylic paints.

Getting ready for summer art camp

Hi everyone, don't fret, I have been painting! It's is just most of my time has been occupied by getting ready for summer art camp. I am again teaching the 4-6 year old children. Many have been with me for the last summer or two so I just love seeing them again and how much they have grown. The difference is I am only teaching two weeks not four. Needed a break this year for a little and also wanted time to be able to create my own art along with spending time with the horses and the newest addition to our family... Hobeaux - a pitbull/mastif cross. He is a love! Showed up on our doorstep about three weeks ago. Anyway, I just finished two new paintings - one is a small watercolor of an ocean cliff with a lighthouse and the other, a small acrylic equine painting. Both will be posted soon.
