part of "Flamenco" painting

While working on my upcoming solo show September 5th at the Sweet Earth Studio in Shawnee, Oklahoma, I'm going to show little sections of paintings- spoilers in a sense, until the time the show opens when I'll reveal the set as a whole and complete.
The name of the show is "Rhythm and Hooves" with a theme of music and dance. One of the more exciting pieces is to represent the energetic, sensual and passionate dance called the flamenco. This snippet is from the acrylic painting "Flamenco". It has acrylic texture medium and gold mica accents.

I'm wearing a t-shirt given to me for an equine art festival that was held in Upstate NY this summer. I would have been able to participate if I'd been there in person, sure wish I'd gone since another trip I'd planned on since last year didn't pan out. I would have been able to show some of my art and see family, a huge bonus! I have been a supporter of this venture since I heard of it, and hope to be able to join in next year in person, but possibly even if I can't go. I'm holding the acrylic painting "Duet" in my "Rhythm and Hooves" theme solo show coming up September 5th at the Sweet Earth Studio Mingle Gallery in Shawnee, OK. Behind me are two of my paso fino's, Pocket and Karma.

 © "Live Again"

My heart is broken on hearing the news of Robin Williams death. From what responses I've read, his passing will have a deep impact on the nation, and I can't imagine the pain his family must feel if we, who only knew him from what we saw of his work, have tears in our eyes and profound sadness to have lost such a talented and brilliant actor and comedian. I painted this canvas as a memorial to my young niece who passed unexpectedly earlier this year like Robin did yesterday, so I want to share it again for expressing my pain of loss. I'm sorry you felt you had nowhere to turn Mr. Williams, may God take your soul and keep you safe from what torment your spirit suffered. We will miss you Robin- so very much........

 © "Absolute Zero" sold

I am wanting to say goodbye to the sticky, humid overly hot weather, but that means we would soon be in the grips of cold, windy, wet icy weather. Going to bide my time and just get through it. As long as the electricity is on to run the AC, I will be painting while stuck inside until the temperatures cool in the later evening. So please enjoy my painting "Absolute Zero" with it's chilly theme to maybe help with the oppressive heat, either way we're stuck with this weather since it is the dog days of August.

© "A Pair of Scissors"

Though I am predominately an equine artist, on occasion I veer off and painting something different. I had gone to a western art show in Oklahoma City and saw a lovely scissortail sculpture, I was fascinated by it, and it made me pay more attention to our state bird since we have them at our acreage. I observed they had really lovely feather colors and great flying dynamics. My resulting painting came out very energetic, and it earned a 1st place and Best of Show when exhibited. This lovely vibrant painting is for sale. Acrylic on gallery wrap- 12"x36"x1.5"

© #60 July 30th 2013 60 Series

The last several paintings in the 60 Series from 2013 were of a friends gorgeous paso fino stallions. The very last one was coupled with flowers, a theme I like to do with my horse paintings. I think it wrapped up the series very well.

© "I Got Hosed at the Carnaval"

Several years back I'd host P2P (photo to painting) contests, they were a lot of fun and a great way to have such a wide array of wonderful photos to choose from to create an interesting themed painting. A repeat idea, paso fino's and water, gave me a great selection to contemplate, but the one of a paso fino stallion being sprayed by a horse and so obviously enjoying it was my pick. The stallions name is in part Carnaval. I named this acrylic "I Got Hosed at the Carnaval".  It has sold.
