Still practicing with horses, this one's eyes drove me nuts!

Mum & Baby

"Welcome" 11x14 oil on board

Mum and baby just born, a commission which I thoroughly enjoyed doing, such a lovely moment to paint.

Mum is called "A-Slew-Will-Do", or something like that.

Saturday Morning on the 8th

"Saturday Morning on the 8Th Concession" oil on canvas 16x20

Travelling down to Nobleton on the scenic route and we saw this delightful peaceful place.
Was a joy to paint, though trying to get the darks really dark took some patience.

Trotting on Main

"Trotting on Main" 8x10 oil on canvas

This is from a photo taken during last year's Schomberg Street Gallery in September:

http://www.schombergstreetgallery.ca/

The event is a lot of fun and shows off lots of our creative community.

This painting was meant to be a one day job, but I came down with Mononucleosis (not with kissing folk either as many "friends" have suggested) and for 8 weeks I could hardly keep my eyes open.

But now back to the easel!

Ram Bo

"Ram Bo" 8x10 oil on board

This picture was from a photo op at a farm called "round the Bend Farm" close to where we live. During the year there are events for kids and this Ram seemed very prominent something about the look and all the woolie texture made him look impressive! 
He was a challenge to paint the eyes are very different and the wool hard to make it look like wool. His horns very large looked like that he wouldn't think twice to use them.

Grazing Horses

"Grazing Horses" 8x8 oil on board

Horses are a real challenge for me to paint, though I love 'em they do have strange shapes on their legs and the hooves are totally illogical!

This was from a photo I took on a lovely September day in King Township, and I was attracted to this peaceful scene, the backlight and the difference in colour of both animals.

Now back to dogs and cats for a while!
