It's so very hot here where I am in central Oklahoma, the days are hovering just at or near 100 degrees during the mid day. It stays warm all through the night. We are so dry, no rain has fallen here in awhile. I see the grass dying and worry sometimes about the grass fires that can spark up in these kind of conditions. A few years ago when the heat and drought were relentless, there were terrible fires, homes and farms destroyed. It was frightening. I painted "Oklahoma Grass Fire" as a way to express my feelings. In the meantime, I will pray for rain. Could be here if we're lucky mid week.

© "24 Carrot"

This is one of my favorites that I've done using our paso fino stallion Adonis as the inspiration. This magnificant specimen has been a muse for my artwork and is featured in one way or another in many of my works. This was auctioned off at my Sweet Valentine solo show at the Sweet Earth Studio in Shawnee, ok with the proceeds going to the Shawnee Historical Building fund. I'm glad it's local, all I need to do is ask the collector if I could see it and enjoy it in person again. It has gold bronzing powder in it that the camera doesn't pick up very well that accents it gorgeously.

© "Goldie's Pain"

Goldie was a gorgeous palomino dun paso fino mare I used to own. She amazed me with her self confidence, steady and sturdy personality, and giving heart. She was a natural leader and did her job with a quiet yet strong presence that just a look or a twist of the ear would speak volumes, she used as little of her power to rule as possible. She had a benevolent position. I envisioned her as a tough and hard working cowgirl who'd wear jeans, T's and boots with a bandana around her neck. When she had a bought with founder, a painful hoof issue, she tried to stay strong but it was obvious she hurt. It was a long road to recovery, but one that she did with bravery and an accepting manner. I was so distraught seeing her pain I painted what I felt. "Goldie's Pain", is an emotionally charged acrylic that shows the circumstance in stance and expression, but exudes strength even still. This 20"x16" on standard canvas is for sale.
