‘Herd on the Hudson’
24 x 36 Oil on Canvas
This is a painting going to New York this summer. I was invited to be apart of a large equine art show in upper state NY outside Albany. They caught me unexpectedly as I did not submit work to them, they phoned me and asked for artwork and then allowed me extra time to finish a gorgeous piece for the show. I am honored as I believe strongly in giving all we can to those in need.
It is the 2010 HITS – on- the-Hudson Equestrian Art Exhibition and Auction
The painting is at the Dutch Art Gallery being framed and I will ship it shortly to NY to the show.
Contact me for commission work. Laurie

Wilbur, bless him, decided to stay behind in April and “man” the studio. Personally, I’m convinced he got stage fright and wanted to blast out some way-out music and dance is socks off.
Once across the border, his absence was noticed.
Thankfully, while out hunting for last minute supplies, I bumped into Bernadette.
Bernadette, lying along side tubes of oil paints and miniature canvases, caught my eye or did she wink?
Whatever she did made me smile and continued to do so while sitting on my passenger seat as she tapped her wooden hand rhythmically to the Foo’s.
Wilbur has met his match.
The doll is “mid-way mad”.
A few pics of her in action to prove it.
She disappeared one quiet morning leaving her spot of choice (centre stage) to catch a few rays of sun.
Bernadettes’ spot of choice during the show: right up beside the gold medalist himself Rembrandt.I hunted her down,
outside,
saying hi to Paradox
( a statue created in 1993 in memory of the world famous stallion Paradox).
p.s: serious art work is still happening in the studio with both Wilbur and Bernadette enjoying the music. However, all drawings flowing of the board are birthday commissions and can’t be shared until a later date.

Last night was the opening for my Solo Show at Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville.
Considering the fact that we are experiencing the devastation of a “1000″ year flood….well….some die hard people showed up and it was a very pleasant evening shared with old friends and new!
Belle Meade Plantation itself was very lucky to be on high enough ground that it did not suffer terrible damage. Yes, the basement was flooded a bit but I was told that it is a manageable problem and they are thankful because it could have been so much worse. The roads surrounding the Plantation left it like an island last weekend. So many are suffering in the area from the aftermath of last week’s storm. Nashville is an awesome community and we are coming together to help those of us who really lost so very much. Personally, our home was spared, but many friends homes were not. It is overwhelming….. but it just takes one step at a time….. Nasvhille could really use your prayers for quite a while.

All started with an idea, followed by structured inspiration, focused hard work, meticulous co-ordination and then a real live press conference.
My one man show “Black on Grey on White” opened Friday the 9th of April in the Warendorf National Stud with a vernissage which welcomed over a 120 guests.
It was a magical evening.
Meeting friends, acquaintances and collectors.
Sharing my art, my world with an enthusiastic and receptive audience.
Launching my book “My Colours of Graphite”.
Saying thank- you speechlessly.
Seeing red dots appear and left behind (5 so far).
Collecting bookings to keep busy well into the new year.
So proud, so overwhelmed and still at a loss for words.
Images of the events will help explain, I’m sure, just why my emotions are still getting the better of me…
Press Conference April 1st 2010.
Georg Frerich, Hurricane, Susanne Schmidt-Rimkus, me, Nicole Uphoff-Selke and Herr Klaus Oortmann
10 minutes before the reporters arrived (trying to look cool and relaxed)
Room 1 one week before opening (lighting just put up)
Room 2 one week before opening (panels arrived after finishing with lighting)
…
One week later
Room 1 all ready to go
Room 1, 9th of April, waiting for the first guests to arrive.
Room 2: smart and tidy. The lighting is really good it’s just my photos trying to prove me wrong
Room 2 different angle: in the midst of the panels…
Room 2 looking just as posh and polished as room 1.
…
The evening
Book launch with Susanne Schmidt-Rimkus and Nicole Uphoff-Selke

To be continued
p.s: Wilbur decided to stay home and take care of business here in Belgium.
However, I did meet Bernadette….

“A Winter’s Day” casein on board 12 x 12″
I know it spring here on the farm, but I have just finished this painting of a cob on a cold snowy winter’s day. This is our chubby little princess ‘Maggie ‘ pictured above and her ever present pile of hay. The girl lacks for nothing…except maybe a bit of work! This painting will be available through my website.
Today the mail brought me notification that two of my paintings have been accepted into the New Jersey Equine Artists’ Associations “Art Of The Horse 2010″ exhibit which will be hanging at the Somerset Art Association in Bedminster, NJ. The show opens My 20th and runs until June 20th. I hope that you can get a chance to see the works there…some of the best equine art work around!! This show is only a short distance from the USET headquarters in Gladstone. A perfect location for an art-show featuring the horse!! One of the paintings is also a winter scene…and a Welsh Pony too….. 
“First Snow -Revisited” mixed media, 8 x 10″
This fellow was our granddaughter’s first pony. His name “Frolic”. Old Frolly won the hearts of many young girls…and elder women too! One of those once in a life time treasures of a horse!
Some other news: Things are happening at Cob Cottage Studio!! is that my watercolor titled “Hello” has been chosen to grace the May cover of Equine Marketer magazine ! This is the second time this publication has asked for use of my work for cover art. I am very honored to do so again!
So now back to the studio. I am working on a hunter jumper painting..almost done, this is a 40 x 30″ canvas work……and I am still working on a figurative commission…..that also is almost done.
But first the dogs need walking… Nell is getting ready to get up from her nap!

Okay….for anyone who might read my blog today….You get a sneak peak !
My solo exhibition will run at Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville , TN from May 1 – May 30, 2010. The opening reception / wine tasting is on May 6th, 5:30 – 7:30 at the Art Gallery in the Visitor Center. Hors d’oeuvres will be provided by Belle Restaurant and there will be
wine from Spain provided by West Meade Wines. If you live in or near Nashville, you know where Belle Meade is…..but just in case….. here’s the address: 5025 Harding Pike, Nashville, TN 37205
The history of Belle Meade is a rich and important story in the development of the Thoroughbred Industry in the United States. As an Equine artist, that’s why I am so happy and honored to have an exhibition here at such an historic place.
Here is the link to Belle Meade’s “horse history”.
http://www.bellemeadeplantation.com/Horses/Horses/
I have added 7 new works to my collection specifically for this show and I have posted one of them here….. “Alias” 22 x 28 Oil on canvas.
If you are in town….I’d love to see you at the opening !

I have been trying to get into this show for many years. It is a juried show at the Kalamazoo Institute for the Arts. It has grown larger and larger each year and is always interesting. There is a different guest juror each year so you never know what might get in. Mostly you know that horse paintings don’t get in a lot and my entry is not a horse painting, but a crow. The dresser is one I inherited from my mother in law, the heart necklace was also hers, as was the inlaid box, now that I think of it. The lamp belonged to my grandparents and was by their bedside.

It will be at the show in April so if you are interested,… now is the time to contact Pam to purchase it so it is marked SOLD as the show opens!

As my solo show approaches at great speed, I’ve been running left and right, phoning, listing, planning, scheduling, correcting, stressing, tweaking, thinking and writing ( most probably all in that order!)
The writing has been the new challenging fun part. After months of work, my book “My Colours of Graphite. Black on Grey on White”, finally boasts dotted “i”s” and crossed “t’s” and looking (nearly) ready to greet the big wide world.
Once a date for the exhibition was set, it seemed like a nice idea to bring out a small book- a retrospective covering the last 15 years of my life. A very special and sincere way to pay tribute to all the people who have believed in me and supported me along the way.
It’s looking great, over 80 of my drawings have come together to show the world just how powerful a single pencil can be. As you can well imagine my scribble friends are on a pedestal as we retrace the 15 years we have spent together.
The launch is scheduled for the beginning of April…. Stay tuned.
If you would like to pre-order your copy please feel free to send me a note at info@sheonahamiltongrant.com

“They Stand, They Wait-Acadia” casein on paper 9 x 12″
Please join me at Åarhus Gallery for an opening reception Friday March 5th, 5-8pm for the second annual ’44N 69W: Radius Belfast’. An all encompassing show running from March 4th through the 28th, featuring work by Maine artists. All artworks, celebrating this vast creative community, will be on view and for sale with 20% of proceeds going to food banks within a thirty-mile radius of Belfast. Last year over one hundred and fifty pieces of art were exhibited to the delight of hundreds of visitors, with consequent sales enabling a generous donation to the Good Shepard Food Bank. This year I am exhibiting a painting depicting carriage horses up at Acadia National Park, Maine’s crown jewel! We have spent many wonderful hours driving the carriage roads of Acadia ourselves. I will never tire of painting horses at Acadia! I am honored to be part of this great endeavor!

This past weekend was spent at the David Lipscomb Campus School in Nashville at their annual
Art Event. This shot is of my space at the show. It was a great weekend full of meeting many friendly art show attendees and some new area artists. One of my favorite perks of doing these shows is getting to know the artists that are set up around you. It’s a great way to connect considering that artists spend a lot of solitary time in the studio and the shows are a great way to catch up with each other. The people running the show at Lipscomb could not have been more kind or more helpful to the artists….that is so appreciated!

Consider this a postcard invitation to the online art show held by “Women Artists Of The West” …of which I am one! I feel very privileged to be a juried member of this National group of artists…even if I don’t live in the West , but in the woods of East Coast New England! With two paintings of mine in the show…..I am ‘hanging’ with a great bunch of women artists!
The past few days have been sunny and brisk around the farm, very wintry! But today dawned sunny and warmer! With temps up in the mid 30″s, way above freezing, I hiked out into the fields with the dogs and then on our way back I stopped at the barn and brushed two of our horses, old Dom and Duster our perennial 4 year old who is actually 24! My gloves and hat ..and face ..were covered with horse hair. Nell , our JRT had a grand time chasing hair clumps as they rolled around the paddock. She jumped with joy! I think I need to paint that scene!
I am working on an watercolor now of a Maine girl and her horse as they do mounted shooting. That is a equine discipline that is full of action and noise! and I am doing this while waiting for some casein paintings to dry. I am not content with only working on one painting at a time, and have to jump from painting to painting to keep my muse amused…..
Guess I have the attention span of a Parson Jack Russell Terrier!!

Please forgive me should this sound off key: not the world’s best trumpeter…
Two of my three entries have been accepted to this year’s Art Show at the Dog Show.
It’s tremendous news which has brought one beaming smile to a winter trodden morale.

Complicity and Tall Grace will be packing their bags (or rather packed into a crate) and flying off to the other side of the water, to Kansas.
Yipee!

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.

Done a wee bit more on the “modeling” front.
The big news is that I have an extra room I can use. It’s much the same as the first one, bright and spacious. (the model is a guesstimate as it has not been measured yet…)
Overview of rooms #1 & #2
All has been scaled to 1/20 including the panels and the mini reproductions.
(Printed out my work, laminated it and then cut out each individual image.)
Each drawing was assigned a panel and stuck on with sticky tape.
As all is still temporary, found it very useful to be able to move everything around.
Panels with laminated print outs
View into room #2
Aerial view of room#2
Entrance view into room#1
Arial view of room#1
The wee men help to get a better space perspective, as chance would have it they are pretty much to scale as well.
Feel a little relieved to have such a clear picture of things to come.
All that’s needed now is loads more hard work.
Off to sharpen some pencils… Ciao ciao.

This year I have a my first solo show in many moons.
In the best location.
Nordrhein-Westfalisches Landgestüt Warendorf (The North Rheine Westpahlian State Stud of Warendorf.)
I plan to exceed expectations.
One of the things I am doing (to this effect) is create a scaled model.
Here are the first steps.
I have had two assistants: both female and both eager to have the last word. Our eldest is sick and off school and thought the idea of helping Mum quite cool and Jess well, she was in-between siestas and took it on herself to do the final inspection…
Seriously, before you all think me nuttier than I am, the reasoning behind all this is quite simply to get my head around the location. It is a nice big bright room, but one that has never been used for exhibiting anything never mind pencil art.
I believe this will help avoid a lot of complications at the time of hanging.
Tomorrow (another no school day) we will make the panels and maybe hang some mini reproductions… stay tuned
