A horse is a horse of course..

  I thought this little cutie would be fairly simple.  I was wrong.  The body and head positioning looked beautiful in the photo, but awkward in my sketches.  I think I need a new eraser now...  maybe that should be his name.. "Eraser"- as in- he erases all of his racing competitors!  Yes, I do like to have fun with this blog.  The lesson learned from drawing this horse was that  looks CAN truly be deceiving.   Thanks for the challenge Eraser!!  See you again for the oils!! :) -S-

working with architecture and landscapes..

  This will be an oil painting in the near-future.  I have been sketching out possibilities and saving them for canvas pieces.  This piece is rough because a lot of the images are outlined or simply suggested so I know where to place them.  Trees, flowers, water, rocks and buildings.  It will be complicated.  I am looking forward to the growth process...  I'm sure it will be filled with a lot of wonderful mistakes!!! :) -S-
