New Painting.
Sorry everyone, that it’s been so long since I posted last! I was in S. California. My girlfriend puts on the Fiesta of the Spanish Horse at the L.A. Equestrian Center every year and I photograph it for her. That’s where I was last year when the posts were put up for my riding in the Cancer Survivor Parade in John’s honor.
Anyway, I’m back and will post some photos from the show, Disneyland and a photo shoot I had down there with the most FABULOUS Gypsy Vanner stallion. 
Meanwhile, I have been working on a commission of two little boys and a kitten. And I am having SO much fun with it. One of those that I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t WAIT to get up and go to work.
Why do you think some paintings do that to you?!

More Early Work…..
Okay, since you were all so nice about the other old painting, here is another one. First of all I think somebody asked me when I actually painted Ebony Moon and I forgot to answer that. It must’ve been about 1975 because that was when I first picked up my first box of pastels.
This painting was probably done in the early 80s and is of a ferret. I had gone up to Montana to photograph a mountain lion that a gal owned. While I was there she turned her two little pet ferrets out in the snow for me. They had great fun out burrowing through the snow and then running up the inside of my pants leg! That was a strange sensation!
Ebony Moon
Okay, so you’ve asked to see some older work. The quality of the photographs isn’t very good because I just photographed the (really old) snapshots from an album with my digital camera. These were back in the film days and back before I had anything professionally photographed.
This is one of the very first horses I ever did in pastel on velour paper. Her name was Ebony Moon and don’t ask me why I can remember THAT but don’t have a clue where the hot tea is that I made a few minutes ago!
