Pastel Paint

click here to bid  6 x 8 inches oil on canvas. 
Sold

Before I painted in oils I used to be a pastel artist, but framing and shipping got to be so expensive so I switched.  I tried a little pastel background with this painting. It works great with paint horses.

Bold Red

                                                              
                                                        6 x 6 inches oil on canvas 
                                                                   Sold

                    Spring foal. Is there anything better?  This filly grew up to be a beautiful mare. Her nickname is Rainy and now that she is retired she spends her days in a huge pasture. Winters in Nebraska are a little hard on her but I put a nice warm blanket on her if it gets to cold.I painted the sides of this painting green so you really don't have to frame it.

Parade on Grand Ave


                                                        
                                                       16 x 20 inches oil on canvas
                                                                    Sold

                           Every rodeo has a grand parade before the main event. This rider is from a very large group of youth riders called the Westernaires. Their website is Westernaires.org. Check them out they are located in Colorado and ride in rodeo's all over the country. I first discovered their talent in Nebraska at Nebraska's big Rodeo. I've found they make great model's for paintings!

The Chase

                                                           
                                                    14 x 11 inches oil on canvas
                                                               Sold

                            I used to go to the local Quarter Horse roping in Fremont NE.
                            They have a out door arena thats great for  photos.
                            I took this scene out of the arena and put them out in the open.
                            I thought it would look better with out all the fences.

Palomino Profile

                                                           
                                                          6 x 8 inches oil on canvas
                                 I took this photograph a long time ago. A palomino named Goldie.
                                 Her owner was allergic to horses so she didn't get ridden much.
                                 I found the photo not to long ago and knew I had to paint her.
