New Original Watercolor Mustang In New Mexico

I painted this the other day, has been on my 'ta do' list forever.  So even though it's summer, I painted a scene from winter.  There were more horses in this herd too who are on my list as well.  This is the first of a series.

Santa Anita Paddock Late Afternoon

This is an original painting, oil on canvas on board, 8 x 10 inches, of the horses being led into the paddock at Santa Anita Race Track.  The light was so gorgeous and is what led me to want to paint this at all.  Usually when I'm starting any painting I have a question in the back of my mind or a desire to see if I can 'paint' the idea into the physical.  In this case, I wanted to paint more in the impressionistic style in order to capture the light.

Zenyatta In Morning Training

After watching American Pharoah's incredible run in the Belmont, winning by five and half lengths and capturing the Triple Crown, racing was all I could think about for the rest of the evening and into this morning.  So, I had this painting of the great race mare Zenyatta on my 'to upload' list for this last week and decided to go ahead and list it today in commemoration of great horses, great race horses and the people who work with them in all capacities.  Am still thinking about that race yesterday and am reminded of when I saw Zenyatta run as well.  One of the best of the best.
