I'm so excited that I'm giving away a prize to one of my commenter/followers today!
It's also my favorite posting day of the week Paint Party Friday! YAY! I love having a day each week to share what I'm creating and to blog hop around and see what others are creating too!
This week I had a bit of down time from my Chigirie (Torn Paper) Commissions because I'm waiting for a new delivery of paper and birch panels. Since I have an innate need to keep creating I've been painting horses. I've been spending a fair amount of time lately on a horse ranch as my DS has taken up horsemanship. It's hard not to be inspired by these magnificent beasts!
I started with a black and white Indian Ink Sketch done with a stipling brush:

Just beautiful horses. Excellent work! Congrats on the 100th. post. Enjoy your weekend. Take care.
Such energy in these paintings. They make me think of the wild horses running free in New Mexico. Spectacular!

100 Wow - congrats! Its a nice milestone to cross over. I would love to be included for the prize. I have so loved finding you through PPF.
You've really captured such passion with these paintings of horses! My daughter rode until she was in high school, we actually owned a horse for a while too- it's a really wonderful thing for kids to do!
Happy PPF,
Stephanie

This horse is so incredible! I would love to have one of your prints! wow. You're so talented!!!
and I'm FB fan!
What a handsome stallion you have there--and congrats on the landmark post!
Interesting idea, using a stippling brush. I probably need to branch out - I've noticed lately I treat everything like watercolors. I don't work *in* watercolors all that often, though.
If you don't mind my asking, how do you get your prints printed? I'm kinda interested in making prints of a few of my pieces, but I'm not at all sure how to go about it.
Your horses are beautiful. Just recently I have developed a fascination with horses which is a little unusual given my age. They really are beautiful creatures and your work certainly does them justice. I would love to be given a chance to win a painting.
Wow, I am amazed at what you can do with your stippling brush. I'll have to try some things. The horse is so beautiful. Blessings, Janet PPF
All of the horses are amazing! I would be thrilled to win one. Storm would be my first choice :0)
Wow! I love your horse, and seeing the progress. Absoloutely stunning. So much energy and aliveness about it. Great work. (And happy 100 posts!)
Beautiful horses. Love the colors in the last one! And wouldn't mind winning one either!
oh wow!!! this is amazing work!!! I love this painting!!! love your art and would love to win too!!!
Hi! I'm a little late making the PPF rounds this week. Been away from home too much. I love your horses, especially Storm! You really have a way with animals.
