The Horse Farm
Oil on board, 5" x 7"
$125 plus $6 shipping in U.S.
SOLD
There's a ranch at the north end of the valley that raises Quarterhorses. Here, some of the mares and foals are having breakfast.
Thanks to all who weighed in with comments and emails regarding my earlier posts about style (see the November 21st post.) I was startled by how many artists feel as I do: constrained by "the art world" (specifically, dealers, collectors and some curators and critics) to maintain a signature style. Not really a conspiracy, it's just marketing 101--product recognition. It's probably not a situation that's going to change anytime soon (like...never!) but at least sometimes we can blow off some steam about it, right? You've all made me feel strangely comforted, and a lot less alone...thank you!

This painting is wonderful Don, outstanding!
Pierre, I appreciate your words--thank you!
This is so lovely; the purple "light" reminds me of one of my favorite paintings by Tom Darro, Cheyenne Mother and Child. I love your work.
You're very kind, Elizabeth--thank you.
