Everyone needs someone.




I had a strange thing happen to me with one of my horses: I was in town and kept feeling that my horse really needed me. I just had a very strong feeling. At the time I had just one horse, a grey Arabian mare. I got home late, in the dark, but I walked to the pasture and checked on her, especially her water tank. She had enough water and everything was fine. She came up to me and put here head in my chest and pressed as hard as she could. She had just been very lonely! Anyway, the painting up above is a sketch of her done on hand made bark paper and watercolor pencil.

Buffalo Hide Painting


This is a buffalo hide, painted in a style reminiscent of Plains Indian Ledger Art. The hide is quite big, over 7 feet tall and is painted with totem animal symbols. It is sold, but I'm trying to finish another one. It'll take 3-4 months to get one done.....
