Blast From the Past

Grace96dpi

This is King.  This 30″x 24″ painting of watercolor and pastel is called ‘Grace’.  King was a sweet stallion with a big heart.  I painted him because he evoked such power in a graceful way.  Though he has passed on, I love this image of him doing his horse thing, grazing in the pasture.

This painting was purchased by a very lucky person at the invitation only PONCHO art auction which raised money for many arts organizations in Seattle.  Sadly, PONCHO is no longer with us either.

Salmon

A new canoe painting with a big beautiful salmon painted on it.  I was captivated by the red, black, and green that creates such an impact on this beautiful canoe.  And there are so many to choose from to paint!  Each one is beautiful and I’m sure has many stories to tell.  For this week I have chosen this one to paint.  It looks kind of firey to me.  I’ll post more as this watercolor piece comes to life. Here is a cropping of progress.  SalmonCanoeIterationCrop96dpi
