Welcome. I am an artist and a good one. What I am not is a website designer, though I need my work to be visible. Please find your way to horsepainterblog.wordpress.com as it is a platform that seems to work for me.

How cool is this!

So honored and excited that my painting, ‘Suquamish Welcoming’, hangs in the front window of Northwind Arts Center in Port Townsend, Washington! This show is up through the end of March, in the front gallery and then migrate to the back gallery through December.

Completed This

This is my most recent completed painting. I call it ‘Chetzemoka’, as the cliffs of Chetzemoka Park of Port Townsend appear in the distance. This watercolor and others, all featuring images from our Salish Canoe Journey, will be on view and for sale at the Northwind Gallery in Port Townsend, Washington. I have prints available as well. Please join us for the opening during Art Walk on Saturday, March 2, 2018, 5:30-8.

Started this today

Fort Worden Landing

The composition on this one is proving to be a great challenge. There are a few things that stand out for me and will be a fun challenge to turn around. Especially since this is watercolor. I’ll post more progress in the next week.

Northwind Gallery, Port Townsend, WA

Northwind Gallery of Port Townsend, Washington, has invited me for a final viewing of my Canoe Paintings before choosing their upcoming ‘Showcase’ artists. Honored to be considered and excited for the interview later this month. Stay tuned.

Thanks EquesFest for a Great Show

What a great show we had on Saturday at the Tacoma Convention Center. I want to extend my appreciation to all those in charge of organization to this event both within EquesFest and the Convention Center. Everyone was efficient and kind. I sold many cards, prints, and wire jumpy horses. I got to meet a few young women who are art majors in High School and College and their amazing moms. And I met a funny man who has been roped into managing various horse show activities from Paddock Steward to managing Northwest Regionals. Thanks everyone.

Come say hello. My booth will offer greeting cards, prints, and wire jumpy horses, 11-5.

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art – Art in Action

This is one of my favorite places to host an art activity. BIMA offers AIA to people during school holidays so kids have something fun to do with their families. Grandparents revel in the joy of sharing an hour arting as well. We created artwork in the style of artist Mike Biskup of Port Townsend, Washington. You can see his work hanging on the wall in this image. Children of course had their own interpretation of Mike’s work which turned out very colorful, just like his. Look for me on Saturday December 29th as I will be leading another art activity in the downstairs gallery.
