Life size paintings and larger are so glorious in life! Meet “Heartbeat of the West”. Each horse has their own unique story, I especially love the black one looking off into the distance, the wind rustling his mane. So many colors in black!! There is something so special about wild horses in an open field….this day was overcast..a fun experiment for I was always taught to photograph in the sunlight for great highlights and shadows.

As nature would have it, and I’d not have it any other way – the story shifted. Clouds rolled in and rain poured down – and if it hadn’t – I’d have never seen what happens to colors otherwise. Sometimes the best education comes by surprise, doesn’t it? So my photos didn’t have the high contrast for lights and darks; but I enjoyed it just as much if not more because now the colors came alive! They’re rich, subtle, and the weather shift truly changes the mood of the story. Enjoy the video of this painting, start to finish! I’d love your comments below, let’s connect.

Learn. Somewhere in the chaos of space, time and hustle in our world, I do think you forget to allow yourself to learn. With it comes risk, even failure. But the beauty of failure, is success is around the corner. Ask anyone successful, they’ll tell you they failed many times. Be back soon!

To your Prosperity!

    Love your art and great branding. My Mother paints horses and many western art subjects. She is also a member of the Wickenburg Art Club and Art Museum. Would you have interest in displaying or getting involved in some of the Art exhibits? Also would like to share some of my Mother’s art work.

      Hi Nora, sorry on the delay here, we just moved! Finally got my internet :) Thank you so much, how kind of you! I would love to see your Mom’s work, what medium does she enjoy? I would definitely have interest for displaying also. I used to be a member of the Wickenburg Art Club, but it wasn’t feasible for me to engage too frequently with their events, living in Phoenix. That was some time ago though, when I was doing the big tent shows here in town. I’d love to take a look again, maybe new options?
