Wild at Heart

How was your week? I hope you had a good one! I finally finished it! I finally finished this piece and I am feeling really good about it. It feels like I've finally found my particular style of painting horses and I'm just so delighted! Here it is all finished. I decided on "Wild at Heart" for it's name.

"Wild at Heart"

This is the first time I can say that, what I had planned out in my head is what ended up on the canvas. I had so much fun with this horse. I stepped out of the box and jumped into my silly fantasy world. She turned into what I really loved. She's wild at heart with purple hair and blue feathers in her mane and tail. It reminds me of happy times. I hope that she brings joy to whoever ends up with her!

Next I worked on a smaller piece so that I could focus only on the mountains and the moonlight. It was a real joy to paint this one.

I decided to name it "Moon Rising". Mountains are one of my favorite things to paint and my favorite time in the mountains is at night with a bright moon glistening the snowy fields. I can close my eyes and still see and feel the mountains that I used to live underneath of. When I paint them on the canvas I have a certain place in my mind. They are not exact copies tho. I kind of mix up the different mountains because what I really put on canvas are my memories. This one is a blend of the mountains near my house and mountains many miles away from there high above Breckenridge on Hoosier pass. It gives me a peaceful feeling and I hope it will do the same for whoever ends up with it.

Have a beautiful week everyone! I will be painting!
