Triad I

Now that all the fields have been plowed and will soon be planted my horses needed a new pasture.

So on the weekend we put posts around the infield of the track. Putting them in was difficult with the ground being so hard and dry due to a lack of rain.














Next we attached the hot wire to the posts and hooked it up to the paddock fencing and it was time to let the horses out in their new pasture.

Of course Tai just had to touch the wire and got zapped. Since then he has been giving the fence a wide berth. I doubt that he will do it again.














It was a lot of work but it is nice to be able to look out my kitchen window and see the horses grazing in the infield again.














As I sat at the kitchen table I did this little drawing of galloping horses.

This original 3-3/4" x 5” original pen and ink drawing when matted and shrink wrapped will be available for $30.00.

Run Wild, Run Free 1

Today, I decided that I would do a quick sketch of the various horses I have owned over the course of many years.

The only things I pre-decided about the drawing was that Co-Co and Buck would be placed at the front of the herd as the lead mare and her foal and that my first horse, Tom would bring up the rear as though he was the stallion guarding his herd.

Next, I made a list of all the horses I or the family has owned since 1972 and I was surprised at the number that we had over the 43 years.









I did sketches of a dozen of the earlier horses that we had owned and moved them around in the herd and added their names to where they were placed.

After doing this, I already know that I will do another drawing of the remaining horses. 

I will post this drawing at a later date as more details are added to each of the horses I have placed in this sketch.

Thundering Trio - A Work in Progress

Today I worked on this sketch of three horses galloping. I still have a lot more work to complete on each of the three horses, But I feel it will work up into a nice painting.














I will post this piece at a later date once the outline sketch is completed for each horse.
