Juried Into SVAC Fall open show.

Nov. 25th, 2011

My two pieces had post position in the front hallway.  I think they look pretty nice there.  It is a beautiful old mansion that has been converted into galleries.

Painting in Progress.

September 16, 2011

I generally work on two pieces at once so that I can put one away and come back to it.  By putting it away and then coming back to it I can usually see weak points that I couldn't see before.  This is a wonderful Deutsch Drahthaar named Arrak belonging to Jenny Horstman.  He is one powerful dog.  This painting has a long way to go.  Right now it is "resting"!

Equidae Gallery Opening, Saratoga.

August 6th, 2011

 

Terry Lindsey's Equidae Gallery had it's racing season opening last night.  My four pieces are shown in the first photo and the second photo shows Jenny Horstman's wonderful "Starting Gate" that was unveiled during the evening.  Terry hangs her gallery beautifully!!  Great music, food and champagne.  Lucky to be a part of it.  I think everyone had a wonderful time!

Still got the right stuff!!!

August 1, 2011

Calix is 10 years old and retired P.D.  You would never know it.  Still giving it everything he's got!

Calix belongs to Lucy Newton who is about to be retired P.D. as well.  She is taking a very, cool, new, training job in Mississippi which we are all praying will relocate its facility northward as soon as possible (hint, hint Randy). Click onto to her very new blog.

July 27th, 2011

I don't care what anybody says, to me Vermont is the most beautiful place in the world!  This is part of the "backyard".

  • King Tut. Keeping the world safe.
    We were wandering through the back stretch on Travers Day at Saratoga when we came across this mounted patrol officer.  His horse is named “King Tut”.  Yes, he is a Percheron!   These horses go through a very tough screening process before being admitted to the force.  They have to be bomb proof.  I think King Tut [...]
