492 Carriage Horse and Groom

These carriage horses are one of my favourite subjects.

These little studies are sometimes the bases for larger studio works. But they are nice little paintings in their own right too.

490 White Caps

Sold
Here's those Willows Beach Kids. They seem to be seriously building sand castles. I just love dramatic light. This is high noon and short shadows. But the backlighting really adds a sense of drama to the scene.

489 Beach Day

SOLD
Here's another plein air painting I did at Willows Beach in Oak Bay. I thought the little tots in white sun hats were adorable.

487 Sweet Molly

sold
My favourite horse is always the one I'm patting right now. This is Molly. She's a gentle, affectionate, darling of a horse. I always stop to pat her when she's resting in the shade of the trees on Menzies Street. She comes right up onto the sidewalk when I approach her. (And I don't even give her treats...it's all friendship).

Isn't she a beauty!

This painting is for sale on auction at a starting bid of $100. To bid, or just to take a close-up look click here
