3 Amigo's work in progress


3 Amigo's work in progress

An up date on these little guys.. I spent today working on the  middle amigo's yellow shirt.. jury is still out if I need to knock back the shadows a little..  once the indigo of the jeans is added I'm sure it will look a lot different.

Also started on the little girl amigo on the left lots to do to finish her shirt.. wanted to use a softer colour from the boys so Ive chosen rose madder.

3 Amigos - work in progress


3 Amigos - work in progress

Trying to find images to paint for the upcoming Arizona exhibition has been easy and hard at the same time... When I first saw this photo of Lance's I just knew I had to paint it.. I look for images that speak to me and get my creative juices flowing..

These little In's just spoke out and yelled paint me paint me.. and so the 3 Amigos was started.

Back in the saddle - work in progress


Back in the Saddle

With the Brumby Whisperer completed for Arizona its time to get stuck back into Back in the Saddle 

I really enjoy painting black and white watercolours so Ive made the decision that half of the pieces for Arizona will be black and white watercolours.

Upon completion Back in the Saddle will be 10" x 14"

The Brumby Whisperer


The Brumby Whisperer

Well I think this fellow is finally finished... didn't want to add to much colour to the horses mane being white or cream in colour it could have become quite messy.

The Brumby Whisperer will be part of the Arizona exhibition in August unless sold before hand

The Brumby Whisperer - work in progress


The Brumby Whisperer Stage 2

Started work on the horses head .. blocking his head and neck... and started work on the horseman's face and beard..

Some artists make beards on men look so easy.. Ive decided its a challenge as you don't want it to look like a line around the jaw but don't want it to look like a muddy puddle either.

Will continue working on the horse and then come back and re-work the horseman's face..

The Brumby Whisperer - work in progress


The Brumby Whisperer - work in progress

I have a soft spot for brumbies not just because I learnt to ride on one as a small child that my grandfather owned or the fact that I now own my own brumby boy Star..

They are a breed of horse unlike any other I have ever met, intelligent, funny and loyal.. I wanted to show the bond that can be created between man and a wild spirit..

Hence the Brumby Whisperer was born.

The Brumby Whisperer will be 10" x 14" and is in  watercolour

It will be part of my exhibition pieces for the exhibition I will be part of in Sedona Arizona in August 2011
