"Jane"

Oil on museum quality ampersand gessobord panel - 6" x 6"

My friend Debby has a new mare to hitch to her team of draft horses. Her fancy name is Seven Lick Acres Jane. Whether you call her by that hefty appellation or just plain Jane, she is quite a horse. I had fun with the coloration on this small piece. Hey, at least it wasn't another oyster.

Thanks, Brad. I approached that cobalt teal background with trepidation and was very pleased with the result. I'm glad you like it too.

Mark--delighted to see you back, brush in hand! You've hit the ground, er, canvas running with these lovely new works.

Thanks, Don. I'm feeling pretty invigorated and inspired these days. Hope to achieve "daily painting" status in the near future.
