Eye On The Prize

November 14th, 2009 | Posted in Kathi Peters

This painting is done….done on a birch panel, gessoed and then painted in casein. “The Gray -Holly Bull” is available on my website . I was thinking that maybe I should have titled it “Eye On The Prize”…because that is where this fellow was looking… at the barn where the mares were awaiting his pleasure! Speaking about “men”….This morning when I went out to do the stalls, I watched as a young white-tail buck followed a doe right through our pasture where our horses were grazing, oblivious to the goings on. Of course I had no camera with me…just two noisy canines who were wrestling at my feet, as they tried to take each other’s orange bandanna off. Yes, it is not boring on the farm. Everyday is full of ‘happenings”! ©Copyright 2009 by Kathi Peters. See original post here. To learn more about this artist, visit her website.

A Hard Day’s Night or I Have Been Working Like A Dog!

June 23rd, 2009 | Posted in Kathi Peters

I have been working like a dog lately…. and if that saying was really true, then I would be napping all day long and only getting up to eat or go for walks! At least that is how my two pups live! They have me well trained!

But the truth is that I have been working every day …all day…painting on a project that is a stretch for me. But stretching is good. It helps us develop muscles! And this work also makes me stretch to paint, as the canvas is a BIG 4 foot by 4 foot. I will post the image at a later date and tell you more about it. Let it suffice for the time being, I am working like a dog!

My artwork for the Equidae Gallery show [held in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., during summer race season] has arrived at the Gallery. I booked a B&B room for our stay August 6th through the 8th… and am looking forward to some site seeing in Saratoga. This is my first time seeing Saratoga and I have been told it is beautiful. That and horses galore…Heaven!

The casein pictured above is one of the paintings that are going to be hanging at The Equidae Gallery exhibit. It is a 9 x 12”, glassed and double matted. It is one of my favorite ones…It is titled

“I Can Do It Myself”.

AND…. Doing this big casein canvas painting I am doing now, is in a way proving to myself that I can do it!

Kentucky Sunrise

June 5th, 2009 | Posted in Kathi Peters

This is a detail of the finished “Kentucky Sunrise” casein [18 x 18"] on canvas. The entire painting shows a panorama of the fenced fields at Darley Farm in Lexington. This stallion is Hard Spun who stands at Darley and who was an undefeated Stakes winner as a two year old. The power of this man, even standing as stud, is undeniable. The morning that we visited him he had just rolled in dirt….living the good life at this point in his career!

More handsome studs from this farm are in the works. So many and so awesome! I will be posting the whole view of the painting on my website. But we are still dealing with a sick Corgi and farm chores and life that just seems to keep getting in the way. Blog entries will be short and sweet for now!
