“Echo in the Canyon” (Landscape/Animal)
20x16 Pastel $2900
Artist Statement:
Last summer I adopted a 4-month-old colt from the Tehachapi Oak Creek Wild Morgan herd after meeting him during our artist weekend. This little horse, which I named Echo, is now a yearling and has stolen my heart. He entertains me daily with his antics, zooming around the ranch, playing with the other horses, and flipping the brushes out of the grooming bucket with his teeth. Yet, when he is still, he gives the most affectionate hugs. This painting depicts him living the good life—his hoofbeats echoing through the springtime canyon under a rare pink sky, a blade of grass hanging from his mouth.
“Heifers Having a Hayday” (Landscape/Animal)
17x16 Pastel $2700
Artist Statement:
Earlier this spring we were checking our ranch cattle and came upon a few heifers hanging out together. We threw them some hay from the ATV, and they immediately started eating it, even though they had an abundance of green grass. I thought it was funny that the cream-colored Charolais was such a messy eater, dropping her hay all over the heads of the Red Angus. She seemed to be the center of attention. They were certainly having a great time—thus the pun for heyday!
"My Boots are Planted" (Urban)
9x9 Pastel $950
Artist Statement:
This urban scene grabbed my attention when I looked up to see many colorful cowboy boots sitting on a windowsill outside of a vintage store. I was captivated by the wrought iron railing and the shadow play on the walls, along with the reflections in the antique window. Upon closer inspection, I realized the boots were planted with succulents!
