The Eventer V - warmblood jumping horse oil painting

30 X 40 Oil on Gallery Canvas with painted sides
SOLD to a Canadian Collector

Well, I think I am about finished with this piece, and I am frustrated with photographing it. The colors are very rich and vibrant and it's nearly impossible to get that across on a computer screen.
Yesterday's record snowfall is half melted and I expect the rest will disappear today since the temperature is supposed to be in the 50's. What a mushy, muddy mess we have left behind. I went walking in the woods yesterday morning before it warmed up and got some lovely photos for the background of the next book cover. Thanks, Mother Nature!
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

On The Run

Contact Artist for Availability

I seem to be doing a lot of running horses images lately - with an even more than average amount of red. Perhaps I am thinking about the stock market too much?

This was another image from the Kalispell, Montana horse event last summer. As you may remember, I am particularly fond of bay horses and this fellow was especially well turned out with a very confident rider. Regretfully, we didn't return the final day to discover the winners. In my opinion they were all champions just by virtue of competing.

I have a whole file of just competitors faces. Most are intensely focused and some are grimacing in extreme concentration. But a few are so totally enjoying themselves and grinning from ear to ear that I found myself pulling for them to win (and wishing I could be momentarily in their space). I am still dreaming of flying...

Ephesians 6:6
Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
