Cutting Practice

I know as many lady cutters as I do men, although I do believe the men dominate in the area of training. Most of the good riders are quite versatile as well - they can cut cattle, rope, run barrels and ride western pleasure.

This is my neighbor, Jane, and she falls into that category AND she is a teacher, too.

This is a large, colorful 30 X 36 oil painting. Contact me directly if you are interested in it.

1 Timothy 4:8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Balancing Act

Still trying new things here. I went to a painting workshop last summer, and a list of supplies included hog bristle brushes. I tried them then and hated them - I have always preferred sable brushes and just couldn't get use to the scratchy edges. But an artist I admire uses them and so I tried again recently - with better results - a couple little paintings first and a large one currently on the easel. The bristle brushes prevent me from concentrating too much on the subject details and focusing more on composition and color - something ALL artists should do.

This little painting shows the action and balance of horse and rider in a cutting competition and is available for purchase from me. dglincoln@embaqmail.com
