Rock Art: The 5th Race at Saratoga

"The 5th Race At Saratoga" 9"x12" original watercolor collage

The primitive rock art horses are off to the races. I was going through my stuff the other day and ran across a program from the '08 Saratoga race meet. I was getting ready to toss it then decided to use pieces of the program in a collage. So the new horse racing series of rock art is born with this painting.

Rock Art Horses

This is a fun one. I've been studying the art on Newspaper Rock in Utah and the horse and rider in this one was inspired by some of the ancient drawings there.

Which One Of Us Is Purtier?

"Which One Of Us Is Purtier?"

11x14 original watercolor

I made an Art For Sale photo folder on my Facebook page. I will be posting some original paintings there, just as an occasional alternative to selling on ebay and etsy. If you want to be my Facebook friend, please look me up. This painting is currently in the For Sale folder. I won't be slamming a lot of art there, probably just a couple a week.

Double Duty

Warm and Cool Horses. 11" x 14" each.

I painted a warm and cool version of the same horse, worked on both of them at the same time. This is one of my ideas for getting more painting done in a day. Do a two-fer.

Painting Faster

"Appaloosa Rising" 9"x12" original watercolor

Since my last posting, I took a trip to Florida, very enjoyable but did not get any painting done during that time. So I'm back and here's another rock art painting inspired by ancient petroglyphs. The title to my blog entry is "Painting Faster", which is wishful thinking on my part as I really do want to produce more paintings than my current pace and have been thinking about ways to ramp it up a bit. Since these rock art paintings have become a familiar process for me, I think I can increase my output on these as I use similar colors every time, and don't have to think too long and hard about what colors to use or how to get started.
