Draft Horses

"Quittin" Time"

9 x 10" Original Pastel

Horses never cease to amaze me. Like these draft horses, so willing to be the beasts of burden for their humans, wearing all the gear necessary. Willing, but after a long day, tired and ready to quit for the day.

Comfort Zone

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

Excuse Me?

"Heads Up! #14 Original Oil ©2011 Trish Stevenson

What is this horse thinking? I just wonder what animals think of us humans sometimes, the way they look at you, kinda sideways, like "are for real?" I always enjoy exploring the colors of white in a painting and this time I contrasted the cool blues with a warm background, great fun. SOLD

Prairie Companions

"Prairie Companions" Original Pastel ©2011 Trish Stevenson

The wide open spaces of the prairie can be quite beautiful and peaceful - maybe a bit lonesome at times. This young horse seems content to munch alongside a couple of visiting birds keeping him company.

Miles City, Montana Art Auction

This original pastel of two mares and a colt grazing is called "Down to Business" I could literally spend all day observing horses. Usually while grazing , they seem pretty laid back about it, but these three are downright zealous in their focus on the business at hand. The painting will be available at the Custer County Art Center's 36th Annual Art Auction in Miles City, Montana. The Auction will be held October 1, 2011 at 7 pm. There will a reception, silent auction and the ever exhuberant live auction!
