As you can see I do like to paint horses and I'm well acquainted with them. Years ago I owned a pretty dark bay thoroughbred that I showed on the flat and over fences.
This shy protective little mare and her baby are quarter horses from the Douglas Lake Ranch area of B.C. and are done in acrylics on illustration board.
Michael was a very sweet horse that I used to lease prior to buying my own horse. Other than the one bad habit of doing a 360 degree turn at a canter if startled, he was a pleasure to ride.
Christine is a Coquitlam artist who has drawn and painted since childhood and is primarily self-taught. In 1987 she was accepted as an active member at the Federation of Canadian Artists and participated in a number of juried shows up until 1992, also attending a number of demonstrations and workshops by various artists during that time. Due to commitments of family and a full time job, her art was sidelined for a period of time, but painting however, has remained a passion throughout the years and she now paints on a regular basis. She is now once again an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) and belongs to the Suite E Life Drawing Association and Port Moody Art Association.
