Equestrian Art
In recent years I have concentrated a lot on the art of the horse. Of course, horses have been a special interest of mine since childhood, as well as the rest of the animal kingdom--but I have devoted more attention to the horse as the subject of my paintings. The slideshow that follows features equine portraits, paintings and selected studies that were created from the not so distant past up through my current years. My early art education includes The Cleveland Institute of Art and The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts--though, the most valuable teaching I achieved years ago was from the Fine Arts section of the local library studying the masters like Rubens, Velazquez, Lawrence and Sargent. And all along I took special note of the great equine artists in history as well--Velazquez, Stubbs, Herring Sr., De Dreux, Gericault, Munnings and others. Some of the paintings listed in the following slideshow are available for sale unless otherwise indicated. These works may still be in the process of completion but their finish is not far off. Most of the available works listed are also available as archival prints. Feel free to email or Facebook me with any inquiries you may have. Enjoy your ride!
