“Shades Of Gray#3″
casein on paper
9 x 12″
Even though the day started a bit gray, the sun came out and Spring called to me as I worked in my studio, saying “Come and play…the winter was cold and deep, but now it is time to come out and enjoy the warmth of spring and promises of things to come.” I listened but kept painting, finishing this one casein of a gray/white dressage horse for my “Shades of Gray” series. This is number 3….there are more to come…all playing with the discovery of colors in a gray horse brought out by the light and shadows. This painting as already been put up onto my website……… Now I am headed out for a bit to rake leaves from winter weary gardens while, the pups play.

I have been working on this 11 3/4 x 13 3/4″ casein for a few days now, on and off. Yes, another white foreshortened horse. This is a subject that I can not get tired of exploring. And I will be doing more white horses over time…a series of sorts. [Like my 'Shades of Black' series that can be seen on my website.] This is a stallion from the Darley Farm in Lexington KY., a wonderful Thoroughbred Stud Farm that I was privileged to visit last spring. You don’t see many farms like this here in Maine!
It is quiet today at Cob Cottage Studio…Nellie, our non-stop Jack Russell Terrier, is at the vet’s, where she will spend the night, recuperating after having been spade this morning. She is doing well..or so I was told when I called a bit ago to check on her progress. Addie, our Corgi, is enjoying her reprieve from her nemesis and napping and taking leisurely strolls around the farm. How Nell has changed our life…for the better….since she came into it a year ago. But for today we are enjoying a quiet time.
