"Roan Horse and Sagebrush" (Heads Up #24
Original Oil 6 x 6" © Trish Stevenson

I liked the contrast of the reds in the horse against the gray greens and lavender shadows of the sage. This oil is painted on a gallery-wrap canvas, painted on all 4 sides, ready to frame or hang as is.

The Waiting Game

"The Waiting Game" 
7.5 x 6" Original Pastel © Trish Stevenson

Here is the wise and well-trained pick-up horse and his rider, patiently waiting for the next wild bronc ride, so they can do their job of keeping the dismounting cowboy out of danger when the 8 second horn blows. 
I truly enjoy observing horses -like this one on alert, waiting for a signal from the rider, while checking out his surroundings. Since the focus is on the horse I excluded details in  the otherwise busy background .

Not only was it a joy trying to capture the attitude expressed in this shy filly, but I also loved exploring the beautiful sunlit colors in her dark coat.  Sold
