Silence is golden and silver and sparkly

It's been almost 2 years since I blogged. Sorry about that. Life is busy and social media is time consuming so I have had to prioritise my efforts.
I have been busy making my work available online and  building a new website.
Meanwhile, here is where you can buy works and horse up your life.

I am trying to decide whether the word needs another art blog or if it might be more fun and interesting to make this a little wider. Perhaps an insight into the life and times of the artist behind the easel. Or perhaps a little more about how the inspiration for the pieces came to be.

For example, "At dusk" here

This painting and many of those in my up close and personal collection are  inspired by my evenings in the barn with my horses. The sun is setting and the  light fading. All is quiet and still, just the sounds of horses contentedly munching their hay and dozing. This is very much a horse owner's view. We rarely see our animals from the front as we are usually to be found to the side of them or astride.

I love the way the light picks up highlights on her face and the softness of her eye. These are things I will never tire of. As the light fades, she seems to glow softly.

In this one; "Aglow"

I used cadmium based paints as well as mica paints, so it has a glow of it's own, especially in indirect or low light. I really wanted to capture the glow!

The full collection in the series is available to view on my fine art site:
