Wild Horse Painting Adventure 2013

This time last year I was truck camping out on the Sand Wash Basin, Little Book Cliffs and Monero Mustangs Sanctuary ranges. I had the back of my truck full of art gear, (I also did two shows while I was on the road), and camping gear. It was 22 days that included travel, but mostly painting.

This summer, I will go to the Little Book Cliffs, Sand Wash Basin, McCullough Peaks, and Pryor Mountain ranges. With the addition of my vintage Shasta trailer, I will be camping in comfort! During my first stop at Little Book Cliffs, I will meet up with Cindy and Bill Loos of Opus Moon Music. This is something I am really looking forward to. Their music is heartfelt and speaks to so many aspects of our beloved wild horses.

Wild Stallions Display of Action

One cool, breezy morning I was out painting and watched several bands of horses come to the river. The breeze combined with the water made for playful interaction. This painting, "Stallion Moves" was based on what I saw that day. I was lucky enough to capture some of the action on video.

The action that inspired this painting:

Wild Horses, Expressing Dramatic Action

One of my goals when painting wild horses, is to bring as much of the experience to the viewer as I can. While out painting, I captured some video footage and wanted to paint the very dramatic and quick encounter of two stallions that happened.

I really wanted to give the feel of movement of all four horses, along with the spray of water during the encounter.  Here is the video and dynamics that inspired me.

Purchase price for this expressive study is $150.00

Wild Horses and the Bond they Share

The bond is very close in a wild horse band. The stallion works hard to get a band and keep his band together. The closeness of relationships  is very tender and inspiring.

Painting a new Foal from Life.

Spring is such an exciting time for those of us watching for new members in a wild horse band.  To see a young colt begin to move from the wobbly leg stage to the tearing around doing big laps and jumping up in the air is down right fun! This mare and her new filly were resting on the other side of the river from where I was sitting. Every few minuets they would move around. I wanted to express the feeling of movement in this piece and how close this little one stayed by Mom's side.
