Valarie Wolf, AAEA: "Quiet Nobility" Draft Horse painting

This painting was just named as a Finalist The 29th Annual Art Competition!  I particularly like the shadows on this one.

Lorraine exercises good judgement

I am calling this one done. It was accepted into the Michiana 10th Annual Art Competition in St. Joeseph, MI and will be on display June 15-July 27 at the Box Factory for the Arts.

Draft Horses in Oils, 12 x 18 on panel

This was one of my favorite Christmas horse portrait commissions. I met the owners of these horses last year while painting my mural of a team of life sized Amish work horses at Lehman's in Kidron, Ohio. They were visiting from Michigan and we got to talk horses. I love how horse people can connect instantly! I was able to stay in touch with my new friends and had the pleasure of doing this commission which became a Christmas present from one half of the couple to the other. I am pleased to introduce to you the team 'Slim and Harvey', a beautiful pair of belgian draft horses. They spent many weekends leading up to Christmas pulling sleds or wagons filled with happy people!

Thank you and Happy New Year!

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.

Hitching Post Mural

is almost done! I added the store's sign today. The horses need a lead rope tied to the hitching post and maybe a barn swallow on the sign....and then I'll call it done!


If you've not seen my earlier post this is a life sized mural of a team of Amish Belgian work horses. This time of the year the horses can be seen working in the fields. Its an amazing sight! They are truly impressive animals! This mural is a permanent part of an authentic Amish Buggy Barn at Lehman's in Kidron, Ohio. I have painted a whole series of farm animals including cows, sheep, chickens, donkey, mare and foal and buggy horses as indoor and outdoor murals at this location. On July 12 we will have a Lehman's Local Artisan Festival in which I do demonstrations and offer more equine and amish themed art for sale.

To see more of my art, to inquire about commissioned artwork or get more information on the art festival please visit my web site at http://www.amish-art.com/ or e-mail me at artbysue@hotmail.com

Life sized Draft Horse Mural

I am in the process of painting a team of life sized belgians at a local business. This is me still pretty early on in the process. If you'd like to see how it is progressing I invite you to follow along by either visiting my blog at http://www.amulti-coloredlife.blogspot.com/ or read about it here: http://countrylife.lehmans.com/author/suesteiner/ You are also welcome to stop by Lehman's in Kidron, Ohio to see me painting during store hours in the Buggy Barn! My web site at http://www.suesteiner.com/ shows examples of my other work in watercolors, pastels, graphite and oils. I am available to do horse portraits in any of these mediums-- large or small!

Thanks for stopping by!
