Riding at the day care
Filed Under Judy Wood | Leave a Comment
Earlier in the year I was startled to see that a number of new elements had suddenly appeared in the riding ring at Ebon. There were a variety of exercise balls in different sizes and colours, and a fairly extensive collection of large and bright stuffed animals, along with streamers, ribbons and party hats. At first I thought that management had perhaps sublet the ring to a daycare centre in order to enhance the income stream, but it turned out that these were all for the edification and/or terrorizing of the resident horses and riders.
During the course of a long indoor riding season (generally at least five months in these parts) both humans and equines tend to fall into a bit of a routine. Lessons and the exercises we work on with our horses vary over time, but the visual environment doesn’t change a heck of a lot, apart from jumps getting put together in different configurations here and there in the ring. Most riders know that even an experienced horse can unaccountably get very worried and spooked by seemingly minor changes in their familiar environment. One way to school both horses and riders in dealing with this is to throw a few curves at them every now and then. That’s what the new decor elements were about.
Riders were each put “on the ball” with the large exercise balls, and shown various ways to use the ball as a tool to work our riding muscles and enhance our balance and co-ordination. Horses were encouraged (both in hand and under saddle) to roll the balls around using their bodies (heads and legs), an exercise in obedience and in building their confidence as they were able to control some of the elements of their environment in this way.
The large stuffed animals were used in every way imaginable on, under, beside and around the jumps, with the party hats and streamers attached to the jump standards. Some horses and riders dealt with this all fairly calmly, others were very challenged and had to work hard to get through their lessons for the first few tries. In the end, everyone has coped and some lessons have been learned. Soon enough it will be outdoor riding and show season, and these horses and riders will need to have their confidence and skills fine-tuned, as you can never predict what might happen when you get into a show situation. Having both riders and horses feeling confident and capable of dealing with the unexpected is a good basis to be starting from.
The first shot today shows the new elements piled with the jumps, ready to be employed (or is that deployed??) at the next jump lesson. Shot number two shows Elaine with her grand-daughte Brooke, doing some ball exercises prior to a lesson. Brooke shows an individual and fashion-forward sense of riding attire, as well as a serious attentiveness to the job at hand.
In keeping with the “young” theme, my art shot is a composite I did of my grandson Mark from a photo I took when he was two. I posted it on the horse artists’ blog site http://horse-art.blogspot.com/ which you can check to read the story behind the image. I call this one “Cowboy Dreams”. It won’t be the top posting on that site, but just scroll down until you find it.

Montana photos, near Augusta.
Filed Under Donna Ridgway | Leave a Comment
When we began yesterday’s photo shoot, we started off on this road, the sign said it was West Simms Creek Road. We had no idea where it would take us, but figured we’d eventually end up on the highway that goes from Simms to Augusta. As it happens, we were correct.
This is a neat road, it takes you through miles of prairie. I love the patterns you can find in the grass and the clouds.
You can see, we started out in sunshine, but this is where it began to snow. By this time, we were on the road to Sawmill Flats and had turned around and headed down the mountain.
In this photo, I liked the way the warm colors on the rocks showed through the grey of the snow.

In some of my photos below this post, you’ll see horses covered in snow. This was the storm that snowed on them. We were high on the mountain watching the beginnings of the storm move in when I took this photo.
I’ve spent hours alone in the mountains, watching storms come across the earth. I put on some Carhardts and my outback duster and sit under a big tree, watching the first of the snowflakes falling. There is no other quiet in the world like you own when you’re in a place like this.
Most people avoid being here at a time like this, so you aren’t bothered by chatter. The animals have gone to shelter so you don’t see much wildlife…you have the most wonderful alone there is.
As a word of caution, I don’t go unprepared into the mountains. Now that I have Robert to share these adventures with, I’m glad he believes the same as I do about carrying food and gear. We take plenty and try to plan for emergencies that could arise.
He spent so much time in the mountains, logging, he knows when to use caution, and when to go on. Yesterday, we were in the Yukon, which doesn’t plow through deep snow very well. We had a hard time deciding, when we hit the first big snow drifts, if we should go on or turn around and go home. Sometimes we dare each other to go on, other times, we listen to a strong instinct and turn around. Yesterday was one one of those “instinct” times.
We turned around and left the high country. Before we got down to the first cattle guard, the snow was falling thick and fast…if we’d gone on, we’d have had to use all our food and equipment before we got back down the mountain! We might have been there a long time….
I guess that’s part of why we go, when you’re in a position of making decisions of grave importance, it adds spice to live that isn’t there in day to day living.

This pair of geese nest on this haystack each year. We look for them every spring.
It was snowing hard and fast when we saw these horses. I can’t wait to do some paintings of them. I liked the groupings of horses that occurred as they moved around the field. The wind was blowing and my hands were frozen by the time I decided I had enough photos!
We drove as far up Willow Creek as we could go. When the drifts got deep, we had to turn around and come back. As it began to snow really hard, we decided we’d better come back down off the mountain, but it certainly felt good to be there again, even if it was for a little while.
Hope you enjoyed today’s photo shoot as much as we did!
Photos are for sale, with double mats and in a clear bag, for $40.

Meanwhile, Back on the Curragh…
Filed Under Linda Shantz | Leave a Comment
This painting has progressed considerably since I showed the initial work - it wasn’t even a complete sketch at that point. This one, again, is a 5 x 7 oil on double-primed Raymar linen panel. I’m enjoying the surface, and now that I’ve started Curlin on the single-primed panel, I’ll be able to compare and see if I prefer one over the other.
The sky was painted a couple of days ago, and the landscape this afternoon. Tonight I’ve been working on the horse. All will still need work, and there are details I still need to paint in.
It was nine years ago this week I was in Ireland taking these photos! Here’s another, older painting I did from a couple other photos I took that particular morning. Kind of a funny story goes along with it. My friend and I decided we’d walk to the Irish National Stud from the B&B where we were staying, having no idea how far that was. The Curragh was pretty early on in the walk. We were both tired and crabby by the end of the day. Believe it or not, we’re still friends!

I want to be there….even if there isn’t a horse in the picture.
Filed Under Donna Ridgway | Leave a Comment
I am so restless today, I have itchy feet. I need to feel the mountains. I have not been in the trees since last spring, before the forest fires ruined our summer.
This photo sums up how I’m feeling, you can see the mountain beckoning….
I’m even thinking of Turkey Bob, living there near Willow Creek in his little house that’s a work of art. He put the house together from “found items”. These items are used in the most unusual and creative ways. We stumbled upon Turkey Bob quite by accident the day we were charged by an antelope and that was the very same day we pulled a baby antelope off a barbed wire fence and hopefully saved his life. He was so new, his umbilical cord was attached to his tummy.
It was quite a thrill to be charged by the antelope mom, rescue the baby, meet Turkey Bob and see his house, all in one day. You can see why I like our photo shoot adventures, we never know what Montana treasures we’ll discover next.
I took the above photo of the antelope mom, as she was charging us. I would have kept taking pictures if she had bowled me over. We were close to her baby, but we didn’t know it at this moment. You can see her intent in her eyes….She was going to do whatever it took to move us!
You can see here how dangerous the bottom wire on a barbed wire fence is to a baby antelope. They try to jump the fence, and can’t make it over. This baby had one front leg over the wire, his other front leg was not over the wire. The wire ran beneath his little breast bone, holding him there. He couldn’t go backward or forward and he was exhausted from the struggle.
You should have heard him calling his mom when Robert picked him off the wire and turned him loose! It took no time at all for her to come running by, collect him up and take off with him. He had a rough start in life, but I like to think he was ok, after we got him off the fence.
We didn’t see the baby at first, they’re so tiny, and he was in such an unnatural position on the fence, he didn’t look like a baby antelope, just a strange object. When his mom charged us, it was a dead giveaway there was a baby near.
Well………..as I’m writing this post, I’ve talked myself into it, in spite of the cost of gas, I plugged in the camera batteries and as soon as they’re charged, we’re off! We’re going to leave home today and go take some photos…..
Hope we find something good to take pictures of so I can show you tomorrow! One of the many good things about my Robert, he’s always ready for a photo shoot adventure…..

Happy Horses
Filed Under Donna Ridgway | Leave a Comment
11 years ago, I was painting what I called “Happy Horses”. I’m revisiting these horses in my mind, I keep coming back to them lately, wondering what else I can do with them. I had so much fun working with them.
Part of what was fun, was designing the horses so they “interacted” like a herd of horses in real life. Then I put designs on the horses to lead your eye around through the herd. Similar to how you would feel if you were in the middle of this herd, trying to choose which horse you wanted to ride for the day.
It was always a dream of mine, to have so many horses, I had to choose between them to decide who to ride each day! So when I’m in the midst of creating these horses, I think, “Which one would I choose today?”
Another element of this design is the aspect of color. I think and plan and create a pattern of color that moves your eye around inside the horse herd.
Then there are places where I kind of interlock the pattern of horses to bring one or the other to the fore or background.
Another fun part of these, was choosing where to make a horse going right, and where to place a horse going left. There are two opposing rivers of horses, moving through each other.
My main interest in designing these horses at the time, was that children liked them. My daughter’s friends really loved them. So it was fun to see what they would think of each new design. They’re so cheerful…it feels fun to look at them.
So I think I’ll revisit this theme and see what comes of it….

Big Red Machine?
Filed Under Linda Shantz | Leave a Comment
I know that’s what they used to call Secretariat, and I’m not trying to make a comparison, but those are the words that came to mind today as I watched Curlin toy with his rivals to win the Dubai World Cup. I don’t usually paint the “horse of the hour” so to speak - if I’m going to paint a “name” horse it will typically be a Canadian-bred, Woodbine-based runner. Watching Curlin’s performance today, however, I gave in. I had photos of him winning the Breeders’ Cup Classic, so with a few adaptations I will be taking him to Dubai! Well…taking my photos of him to Dubai…okay, I wish. I was there this time last year!
Just a note - this horse does have a Canadian tie-in. He’s by Canadian-bred Smart Strike, and out of a Deputy Minister mare - Deputy Minister was also Canadian-bred!
This is just a small painting, 5 x 7 oil on oil-primed Raymar panel, and the work so far has taken about an hour. So yes, another work in progress. About time I started wrapping some of these up, don’t you think?
Working small like this can be fun. I find it useful for staying motivated, because in most cases these pieces are completed faster than a larger one, for obvious reasons - it doesn’t take as long to cover the support! They give a sense of accomplishment that helps carry me through the larger work.
I have completed one of the recent postings in the last week. All I need to do is sign it, so you will see it sometime soon!

"The Green Team" Revisited - Oil Painting in Progress
Filed Under Karen Baker Thumm | Leave a Comment
After what seemed like a million and one distractions this week, I finally made it into the studio and resumed work on this oil painting of two Belgian draft horses. The horse on the right had been a virtual ghost horse for the past two years while his companion had taken on life in full color. Painting that second horse really changed the look of the painting, and I’m pretty well pleased with the way it turned out. I especially love the wrinkles on his huge neck as he turns his head to look at the viewer.
My biggest fear all week was that I might have forgotten how to paint. Other than to glaze a layer of pink (yes Pink!) over this second horse last fall, I hadn’t picked up a paint brush in over a year. Not to worry; it was as if I had been painting daily ever since. What a relief that was and what a joy to mush oils around on the palette and brush away with near abandon!
So, let’s give a cheer for Brad (I’ve named him Brad because he’s so handsome!) who has now joined the world of Living Color! And, let’s give another cheer for me who has become unstuck from my funk of last year and has now joined the world of the Creatively Alive!
Hip Hip Hooray!!!

More Carousel horse art.
Filed Under Donna Ridgway | Leave a Comment
Here’s a round eyed carousel horse for you! He’s pretty much finished but I might do a couple more touch ups on him.
Carousel horses make me happy. I’ve always wanted one in my living room. I figured in my previous house, I’d have one in the living room, and put it on a gold pipe that lead to gears down in the basement. Then I’d ride the horse and my kids could sit on a seat downstairs and pedal so I could go up and down…just like on the carousel. I know my kids would have loved it. ha.
Now I don’t have a basement so I guess I won’t try this idea any time soon.
We spent a portion of this day removing the plumbing from my studio. We won’t have running water to that house, because of Flood Control regulations. There isn’t much room under it even though we still have the axles on the trailer house. And the wind was blowing.
There’s something about me, you might as well know, I don’t stop, until I hear the word “Whoa!” One of the ties we had under the house had slid and I needed to throw some gravel out of the way to get it back where it belonged. Poor Robert. He was down wind of me, laying on his back, under the house! He hollered, “Hey!” then I heard some choking and spitting and then he hollered, “Donna!” and tried to say a few more things, then finally he remembered who he was talking to and he yelled, “Whoa!”
I was so busy digging, I didn’t realize all the dust from my efforts were choking him! His face was black from dirt and his teeth looked really white.
This story about whoa, also reminded me of a horse I once rode behind Split Mountain. His name was Murphy and I’ve done many paintings of him.
My uncle was dying of cancer and I went to see him. Many years before, he’d promised to take me riding behind Split Mountain. So when I got to his house, he told the hired man to saddle up the horses, and take me up behind Split. My aunt, my cousins, my daughter, the hired man, and I went on this venture.
My uncle’s horse was named Barney. He wasn’t a nice horse-my uncle always liked riding a bronc. Since my uncle was to ill to ride, he told us to put the fencing tools on Barney and use him for a pack horse. Barney hated being lead along, and he “REALLY” hated those pliers, nails, and hammers that jiggled and made noise on his back.
For some reason, Barney behaved himself all the way up the mountain, all along the trail to the glacier lake at the foot of the Rocky Mountain Front and half way down to the ranch. We’d relaxed and got sloppy. All of us were riding down the trail with Barney in the rear. How stupid.
When he exploded, he bucked his way through the middle of all of us. We were in the center of a quaking aspen thicket. When Barney blew by Murphy and I, Murphy came apart. I could feel tree limbs knocking against my head, and saw a blur of horses, and people spreading out through the trees.
I thought Murphy, being as chubby as he was, wouldn’t have so much energy! But he had no intention of stopping…I told him, “Whoa….WHOA … WHOA and WHOA!” Finally, I remembered who’s horse he was, he belonged to my Uncle Bill, a rough neck old cowboy who loved riding broncs…I figured I’d better talk to Murphy in language he understood and I hollered “Whoa you SOB!” Murphy planted his feet like a gentleman. And it was just in time, I must say, for I was beginning to come undone.
I rode another horse one day who didn’t Whoa when she should have. I was on a trail ride with maybe 150 people. I was riding a paint mare named Peep. She was a great horse, but herd bound to her mate. At one point in the ride, we came upon a grove of pine trees and all the men began to head for those trees. Most of the women kind of tied up their horses and politely turned their backs. I was about to do the same, when my friend Jim, owner of Peep, headed his horse in the direction of the other men. Peep decided she wanted to go with her pasture mate. I fought her off for a while, and learned she didn’t know the meaning of Whoa, then she took off bucking down through the draw and up the other side. As she came down through the draw, I decided I didn’t want to burst into that grove of trees without warning those men, so I yelled, “Wait for me, Jim, I’m coming too!”
You can imagine they never forgot me. It was one of my most embarrassing moments!

Spring gardening thoughts
Filed Under Judy Wood | Leave a Comment
This weekend is the Gardenscapes show at the local exhibition grounds, a large trade show/display of all things pertaining to gardens and growing things. With ice and some snow still in abundance, grey low skies and nippy winds continuing as the norm this past week, it’s nice to go to this show to be reminded that it isn’t always like this, and soon enough (well, maybe *not* soon enough) we will be into growing season.
Heads up on this thought, as once I add in yard, perennial and veggie garden care to all the rest of the the things I already don’t have time to deal with properly, I’m thinking about cutting these postings back to once a week rather than twice. I’ll give warning, though, and for the moment will stick to the established twice a week posts. I just know from experience that once outdoors season truly begins here, time is really at a premium for me. I have a pretty hard time staying indoors once being out is an option, and I don’t usually resist the urge to head out the door whenever the opportunity arises.
One of the happy markers of the changing seasons for me is just the simple act of walking out the door when you want to. One minute you’re sitting in a chair reading and having a coffee, then the thought comes into your head that you need to do something outside. You get up, open the door, walk out and do whatever it is you had in mind. No checking the temperature and wind chill, rooting endlessly in the hall cupboard to find the right weight of jacket, hat, scarf, gloves or mitts, and winter boots, then wrestling yourself into them. No chasing down a dog to poke it into its’ winter coat (our dogs have several outer garments to cover the variations of temperature from light frost to “almost too cold to go out”) if you are taking either or both with you. No second-guessing whether you remembered to plug in the block heater on the car so it will start, if it’s a trip that needs a vehicle, or scraping ice off the windshield and snow off everything else. Just get up, go out. It’s wonderful. Talk about liberation. This is definitely one of the forms it takes for residents of the northern climes.
Thinking about the fact that spring will come here eventually (I’m talking real life here, not by the calendar), I realized it was time to start my cana lilies, so last week I went out and bought some corms/tubers?? whatever they are, and got some potted up. I bought two different types, three per package, so am sharing with my friend Sue, three each. I love the “over the top” aspect of canas with their enormous leaves (mine will be either green with yellow stripes or burgundy with yellow stripes) and the tall flower spikes that they throw skywards, with the ragged banner of the flower held proudly aloft. Gee, I got a bit carried away there!! Anyway, I do like canas and generally have a few of them as potted plants in the container area of the yard. Last year as test I grew some in pots and some in the garden, and interestingly the potted ones outperformed the garden ones by quite a bit. I think they get a better start in our short growing season due to the warmth of the soil in the container as opposed to the relative cool of the ground early in the growing season (by early here we mean late May).
On a totally other subject, I wanted to post the link for the Canine Art Guild’s online show of dog art. This is the third show put on by the Guild, of which I am a member, and I have been remiss in not posting this sooner. I’m not sure how much longer this show (theme is Black and White, however the artists choose to interpret it) will be up, so now would be the time to take a look. There is the opportunity to vote for “People’s Choice”, I think only for a couple more days, so do that if you are inclined. This isn’t a request for votes–if it’s something you want to do, vote where your eye and your heart lead you. My contribution is Photoshopped versions of shots of each of my boys–Mickey and Oscar, the Boxer brothers. Here’s the link http://www.canineartguild.com/gallery/ Now I can feel I’ve done my duty for the cause of canine art for the moment. I’ll try to be more timely in posting information about the next show.
Blog shots for today are a couple of the ones I have up in the art gallery area of the Gardenscape show that I talked about at the start of this posting. The first one I call “Copper Waters”. I took it last fall as I was wading (literally) about in one of the turnout paddocks at the barn, with the fall colours of the trees reflected in the water. We have had a couple of very wet years for the prairies and that particular turnout area never did totally dry up from the time of spring melt until the snow fell late in the fall.
Sticking with the water theme, the second for today is one where I merged two images to create a new composition. One was a nice enough shot of fall leaves on a pond, but I felt it needed something more, so I was playing with layering images and put a close cropped shot of tree bark (either a poplar or a birch, not sure which it was) with the leaves and water to create this image, not very imaginatively called “Impressionist Leaves on Water”. Sometimes coming up with a decent title is the hardest part of the whole process!

Wow, just when you think you have all your cats herded, here it is the end of March and I’ve not posted for a couple weeks! But with spring planting and garden care, teaching workshops, enjoying a reunion of friends here at the house, I’ve been busy! Now this 12 x 16 painting is one I’ve had on display at the Corona Art Association, and I picked it up last week. Problem was, I had not photographed it prior to taking it in!
It was painting during the Plein Air Artists of Riverside visit to our place, and it was done as the sun was going down, with the evening light golden orange. The lights of the distant sports park were on, as were some other evening lights.
I was standing on our patio by the pond when I painted it, in acrylics. One must move fast to capture that elusive evening light!
Interesting side note: The Italian cypress standing vertical near the sun is a favorite perching place for the red tail hawks that have set up housekeeping in one of the big pines behind the house here. We see them carrying branches to the nest, and hope to have baby hawks when the time is ripe.
ON the reunion–my two friends came in from CO and No. Cal. for a wonderful five-day visit. We worked together in Frankfurt, Germany, back in the 70s, and still get together once every two years at each others’ homes. This year was my turn. In 2010 we’re going to meet up back in Europe! I’ll take my paints to Switzerland, for sure!
Here we are at lunch at the Mission Inn, Las Campanas, margaritas in hand!

Waiting for Paint to Dry
Filed Under Carrie Lewis | Leave a Comment
…can be a lot like watching the grass grow.
That’s what I have been doing most of this week. Waiting for paint to dry, not watching the grass grow (although three or four warm days is resulting in green lawns all over town).
I had hoped to have the next portrait finished or nearly finished by this time, but it has been slow drying. Too wet to work on when I checked it Monday.
Dry to the touch on Tuesday, but those black areas were still a little bit cool feeling and had a bit of gloss, so I left them alone.
Tonight, it was better yet and I could probably have worked on it, but it was also choir practice evening. So I opted to do what I could do without getting too messy (oil paint can end up in the strangest places if I’m not careful…and I’m usually not very careful when I’m painting).
These days, that meant writing. This is the fun part of the process, when I wake up in the morning with scenes already written or ideas partially developed and have them all written down in black and white by the end of the day.
I once heard a writer say that if writing could be described as childbirth, her books were all breach! I feel that way, too. I make notes on whatever questions or ideas come to mind and write scenes the same way. Later on, usually in the 30,000 to 40,000 word range, I begin the task of making sense out of everything.
Tonight, I worked on the closing scenes, what I lovingly refer to as the Final Conflict. Quite often, having all the ‘loose ends’ right there in front of me makes it easier to make sure they all find their way into the body of the story.
The early stages of writing and painting bear absolutely no resemblance! Painting is planned, writing is spontaneous. Of course, those unplanned scenes may be edited countless times before they’re right and paintings…. Well, if I make many changes to a painting, I’m quite likely to ditch it and start over.
I noticed on the way to choir practice that the spring bulbs I thought were grape hyacinths are actually daffodils. So much for having a green thumb! They were out in profusion yesterday and are still peppering the front lawn with daubs of bright yellow.
The daffodils at the gallery are a day or two behind and are just beginning to lift their heads to the sun.
How far away can the tulips be?
Or the spring thunderstorms?

The Horse Gift Mural
Filed Under Donna Ridgway | Leave a Comment
I received my official welcome from the Horse Gift mural project today so I’m considering myself a member of the team. This is a very exciting project to be on, I love these mural mosaics.
A few days ago, I had news my ACEO cards will be featured in the spring ACEO Magazine. I’m also very excited about that as I love those little aceo cards. I’ve had so much fun creating and selling those cards.
My five chosen paintings are also at the Grand National Celebration of Western Art, and I’m a member of the Grand National Artist’s Society.
I’m also trying a new auction site called onlineauctions.com Funny thing, they even have reps who call you and help you determine the best way to sell on their auction site. If I can create a market there for my work, I’ll be pleased as I’m not selling on ebay any more. I’ve decided to stop posting auctions there.
I’ve also had to totally revamp my website as Microsoft, in their great wisdom labeled it as a “phishing site”. It’s pretty difficult to allow your customers to see your work, when they get this huge message and a warped view of things. Nice of Microsoft to determine I’m scamming the public. I do appreciate their “wisdom” in the design of their new Explorer 7 browser.
I do think I have the problem solved, but I had to remove my css style sheet, and I had to take the pay pal buttons off my front page. If any of you go to my horse art website now and can’t see it, please let me know, if it works, drop me a line from the email link and tell me that too. 
A few steps forward, a few steps back, that is the art world…
