30" x 30" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

This is a piece that I worked on for a long time, and had entered it in a juried exhibit.  This is a very painterly piece, with wide brushstrokes and bold color.  I loved the pose of this horse, and my inspiration was a photograph of my nephew riding during a riding competition in Illinois.  I purposely left the saddle and rider out of the painting, wanting to focus on the curves and the profile of the horse.  I used oil sticks to pull the painting together and give it a contemporary look.  I know I changed the background several times.  Thanks for looking at this blog....and Merry Christmas to you and yours.  Kay at kay@kwyne.com.

Dipped N Vip

Dipped N Vip

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

12" x 16"

This painting is dedicated to my nephew, Casey Settles. I used a 2008 photograph of him and Dipped N Vip (yes, that is the horse's name) as a reference for this contemporary oil painting. The brush strokes are loose and don't have much of detail. The photograph I was using was taken indoors, but I put Casey and the horse outdoors. I am told that Dipped N Vip is a very special horse, and it is owned by Black Hawk Community College, located in Illinois. He is very handsome and had great colors.

I started this painting last week, and to my surprise I was informed that Casey would be representing West Texas A & M in the Inter-Collegiate Horse Show and Regionals in Gainesville, Texas. Since he would be competing about an hour from Dallas, John, Lindsay and I went to the horse show last Saturday. That was a neat experience to see six schools compete, with the two top equestrian riders moving on to the Semi-Finals in Los Angeles, California. Congratulations to Casey....he placed second, and will be competing in LA!!!! "Whoop!", as my Aggie son would say!!!
