Pony In Cart

February 2nd, 2010 | Posted in Kathi Peters

“Pony In Cart” casein on canvas 24 x 48″
Mind you, I am not complaining. I am just stating a fact. It is cold out. But this is winter and this is Maine, so I guess I am stuck with it. I stay cloistered in my studio, the sun shining into the room, but I can hear the wind howling outside.

Today I finished the above casein on canvas of “Pony”….the pony perfect. Lynn, the lady driving him, sits in a lovely antique governess cart at a recent Maine Carriage Day event held at Skyline Farm in North Yarmouth, Maine. If I painted everyday, all day for the rest of my life, I would still have scenes I want to to portray, paintings that need to be painted, all about driving horses. A passion for me…horses and driving.
“Pony In Cart” is available to grace someone’s walls………..

After the Show …High Ho High Ho

January 20th, 2010 | Posted in Kathi Peters


Les straightening the pole-skirting.

The weekend flew by so fast as we flew back and both between Morrill and Augusta each day for the Equine Art Show at the Civic Center. I was so happy to have been included in this art show and for the chance to reconnect with old friends and clients…all the horse folks of Maine!! And I was so good… and did not spend any money on horse stuff…though I did lust over a few trailers there that would hold a pair of driving horses AND our carriage!!! I say that laughing because I need a bigger studio before I get a bigger trailer!!!

Today I finally got back into the tiny studio and to work on the driving painting that I am doing…24 x 48″ with casein. As snow fell over our farm, I stay cozy in the studio making headway on this small pony on a big canvas. There will be more to come…but this is where we are this afternoon.

Mother’s Day at the Races

May 11th, 2009 | Posted in Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor

I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day, I did! Today my mother got us free tickets to attend the Willowdale Steeplechase. The weather was brilliantly sunny and very windy but I managed to get some nice shots. I took over 100 photos so I thought I would break this post up over 2-3 days.
If you’ve never been to a steeplechase, it’s a wonderful event for the whole family. Loads of activities for children, shopping, food, classic cars, carriages, Jack Russell races, pony races and horse races.


The morning started off with Jack Russell races.


Lot’s of tailgating. I wish I had the money to do this! I believe the parking in this area is costs $375.


A lot of the outriders and carriage owners let children pet their horses. I love the pink braids on this sweet mare.


Gorgeous Chester County, PA landscape. The horse and rider complete the picture!


I just love this outrider’s expression.


Antique cars, tailgating and dogs, a must at a steeplechase.


I loved this lady’s turnout. She had a gorgeous bouquet of purple & white flowers next to her and her Clydesdale cross is named Fred. She let Zoe and I pet him.


Another nice hood ornament. Can you spot me?


Gorgeous carriages – I want one!!

Please check back for some race pictures!

Resting at the top. Carriage scene

February 26th, 2009 | Posted in Debbie Flood

Here is another new watercolor. ‘Resting at the top’ 10 x 18 inches.
The light in this is just terrific! I can smell the warm sun baking on the crunchy Autumn grass.

I traveled many a mountain trail and road like this one, while out horseback riding when I was growing up. I loved riding the mountain. I visit there once in awhile, my family and I go hiking. But it is not the same, as trees have been removed and it is more opened up now. Things just don’t stay the same. But I can help them last longer by puting them into a painting. Thank the Lord for that!

Enjoy!
