Horse Shows Again

This summer, one of the local barns is celebrating their 20th anniversary. They are wonderful people with beautiful horses, and I've been going to and enjoying their horse shows for over half that time. To help them celebrate, I did an ink and watercolor montage of some of the things I've seen at their shows over the years. Ink and watercolor is a fun medium that can be handled in a fresh feeling, loose style. I had nearly as much fun doing this as I do going to the shows.

Percherons

My new acryilc painting WAITING TO GET ON THE LAND shows what the fields around here looked like just a few weeks ago. Spring has such a sense of waiting for exciting things to happen. Even the animals seem to be waiting to get on with things, like these two Percherons, waiting for the fields to dry so ploughing can begin.
