" Painted in September of 2010, this painting grew in my heart and I fell in love with it the further I worked on it that fall. It was almost as if the leaves around the pond and the lake inspired the colliding colors and patterns. Living on a 5 acre cat fish pond and Lake Cypress Springs in East Texas, gave us a lot of waterfront. (as well as a plethora of snakes and oak mold.  My studio was a beautiful glassed in porch across the back of the house with plenty of room to paint big or small and have the view of the water at all times.

Just jumping straight into this painting and the process.  I began with a different surface as I sketched out three horses and began pulling the paint.  It looked painful, so I put it out of its misery and began pulling colors together and flipping the canvas around.   Then I saw the two horses as clear as can be.

I paint other styles of horses and lately really pretty ones on birch.

The Twelfth Day of Christmas Twelve Drummers Drumming The twelve points of doctrine in the Apostles' Creed:  1) I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.  2) I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.  3) He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.  4) He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
