Horse and Heart oil on canvas 11x14


This is a small painting I did from life for a class with Gladys Poorte, it's very exact, not really how I usually paint, but a nice learning experience, and Gladys was a delightful teacher. The horse is one I sculpted from plasticine clay and the heart is one from my collection as my birthday falls on Valentine's Day. The beads were from New Years Eve 2008, the first year I celebrated New Years as a single woman after 43 years of marriage. The painted blocks were a project I did for myself after a workshop with Susan Sarback—to learn how to see color.
