We're suffering a heat wave.  During the day, the light is white and hot.  I like painting the different effects light has on horses.  In this painting, you can see how the hot light of the sun has almost washed the color out of this buckskin's coat.  You can feel the heat of the day.

I came to my desk this morning to find this drawing of a horse sitting in a forgotten spot.  I don't remember when I drew this little guy or what plans I had for him at the time.  So I put him on an ACEO card and invented some moonlight for him to stand in.

When I was growing up, my horse, Lucky, was my best friend.  I'd sneak out my window in the night to go see what he was doing.  Most of the time, I stayed with him until morning, sleeping on his broad back. Sometimes he'd wake me up when he moved, grazing along, or if he laid down or stood up, it would wake me up.  I was real comfortable on that horse's back.

  I think remembering those times, made me want to paint this horse in the moonlight.

He'll be for sale today, starting this evening, in my store.

Bred to become a sport horse, this little baby is built like a bull dog!  He's so sturdy he's just cute.  He has beautiful multi colored patches on his coat too.  It's hard to tell what color he might become.  I'm guessing a bay.
