Grey in Blue and Green

Grey in Blue and Green, 2010. 36" x 48", Acrylic on deep cradled gessoboard. (bottom image is a close up).

This dapple grey horse trotted straight out of my imagination and onto the board. I enjoy using bold colors and strong lines when I paint. The acrylic paint needs several coats to create the saturated color, and I really get to know my horse muse with each brush stroke.

This new horse is enjoying a bit of a spontaneous piaffe.

Red on Red

Red on Red, 2010. 24" x 19" acrylic on gallery wrap canvas.

This new painting was inspired by my horse friend, Pikasso CA. Pikasso is an Arabian/Warmblood bred by Crossen Arabians of Coventry, CT. He is a beautiful dressage athlete (with the ribbons and awards to prove it!). He has a gorgeous, glowing, golden red chestnut coat and a dramatic white blaze--just a vision! (he has 4 white socks, too! Lotsa chrome and flash, and the talent to go with it).

The painting was inspired by a live-study sketch I did of him last year.

It is available for sale, please e-mail me at soundthebuglestudio (at) charter.net.

You can see this piece in person at my May 1 and 2 Open Studio (see previous blog post for more info).

Now, off to paint some more!
