Horses in Springtime watercolor painting

Not too long ago on one of my daily walks (I like to walk at least a couple of miles a day) I passed by this scene at a nearby homestead. The blossoming shrub and the horses in the field just made me want to paint this! I was pleased with how the foreground colors ran together making the look of grasses - watercolors can offer up pleasant surprises like that sometimes. The piece has a soft effect to denote the newness of a spring day. Unlike some of my other work where I use saturated color, this is a painting with a light touch.

Horses at Pasture on a Spring Day - Watercolor Painting

It's springtime and a chestnut mare and her foal are enjoying the freshness of the air and the new green grass in the pasture. This barn is just down the road from my house. It's been the subject of more than one of my paintings, but I think this springtime scene is my favorite!

New England Horse Barn in Snow

This barn is just down the road from my place apiece. Look closely and you'll see a face looking out the window. Maybe he's hoping for a trot in the snow.

Monument Valley, Utah

This is one of my favorite scenes from a trip to Utah. Monument Valley is a place probably everyone has seen whether you've been there or not, as many westerns and commercials have been filmed there.

Great sandstone formations abound, the last remnants of what were once sandstone layers, eroded away over time. The red mesas and buttes are a deep rich color every bit as beautiful as the pictures you see on a postcard. If you visit, take the drive in the early morning or evening when the light is best.

In the rosy light of this hazy morning scene, some horses graze on the sandy desert plain.
