I finished up some pieces I was working on earlier in the year. The first is of the abandoned racehorse now doing very well at HEART of Tucson (see below), Streakin Kitty, or Kitty as we call her.  This is an 18″ x 24″ oil on canvas…

I also have finished this piece, it’s of a TB gelding (and retired racehorse) named Nightly Delusions, it’s titled “Scratching Post” and is a 16″ x 20″ oil on canvas…
 

1010 Program

I am offering a new opportunity to help you get the art you want and help some good southern Arizona rescues in the process!  If you either purchase a painting or commision and mention either HEART of Tucson or Equine Encore Foundation, I will give you 10% off and give 10% of the total to the rescue of your choice!  It’s a win win for all, and a way I can use my art to help!  Below is some information about both rescues…

HEART of Tucson is a general horse rescue, saving horses from everything from slaughter to abuse, and providing support for those who struggle to afford to care for their horses in this economy.   If you want to support a program that both helps horses in great need and tries to offer the support and education to prevent problems in the future, donate to HEART!

Equine Encore Foundation provides a peaceful, well cared for retirement home for racehorses.  If your a fan of thoroughbred racing and have always wanted to be sure the horses you watch race are well cared for after their careers, donate to Equine Encore to help support the daily care of these horses who gave so much to entertain us!

Quick Exhbition Note

The mustang painting at the bottom of the post below (Natural Beauty) has been accepted into the Horse HeART Art Show March 12-April12 at the Art Attack Gallery in Incline Village, Nevada (near Lake Tahoe) . This is an art show to benefit wild horse preservation efforts.

I have been a busy bee at the easel lately!  Below is some new work I’ve finished in the past month.  But first, without further ado…

My Store

I’m thrilled to introduce my new Etsy store!  I’ll be listing my available originals and prints there.  Right now I’m starting with some older pieces that have been “retired” from art shows and will be building the store over the next few months.  It will also make it easier to offer prints.  Visit the store and check back to see what’s added, there’s even a subscribe feature on the  lower right side of my store that will let you know when I add items!  You can also see the most recent items listed by going to my Store page right here on the left side of my blog.
