"Gold Rush" 2010. 22" x 28", Acrylic on gallery wrap canvas, featuring iridescent gold paint in textured layers. (bottom image is detail) (click on each image to get more detail and texture)

A brilliantly golden coated Arabian flares his nostrils and drinks in the air...His large eye is rimmed with white, and his nostril glows red. His head and neck are featured against a cerulean blue sky.

A golden horse with a flaxen mane always takes my breath away. It is the horse of childhood dreams-- what little girl didn't want a golden pony?

This painting features thickly layered glimmering gold paint--it GLOWS when it hits the light just so. I turn into a horse crazy 8 year old when I paint like this....Fun memories.
