Little Brown Jug

I really like this little brown jug for some reason - it's got personality and probably some interesting history. So I had fun painting it. It's a challenge to paint the lighter ceramic on the bottom, with its subtle shades, but lots of fun to add highlights to the deep brown on top. Click here to bid.

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

Palomino Power

 6 x 6 Original Oil ©2011 Trish Stevenson

I was going to call this "Blondes Have More Fun" but this horse looked a little too noble and wise for that! I have not painted too many Palominos up to now, maybe because I had never really known any before. However, I have met one now and he is a bit of a character, (what do you expect with a name like "SpongeBob" )? and I do love exploring the colors of horses. This is #13 of the Heads Up! Series.

Prairie Companions

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.

Little Bold One

"Little Bold One"  6 x 9 inch Original Pastel ©2011 Trish Stevenson

It's entertaining to me to watch a calf as curiosity overtakes fear and it ventures away from it's mama to check things out. Mama is never too far away, though. Part of the 100 for $100 series. Click here to bid.

Longhorn Colors

"Longhorn Colors"  - 9"x 6" Pastel ©2011 Trish Stevenson

Longhorn cattle are such a classic icon of the West and they are really fun to paint because of their horns and colorful markings. As I was painting this one, I kept adding more color to the background, it just felt like a little more pizazz was appropriate for this guy. Click here for purchase information.

Swans on the River

"Swans on the River" - 6" x 6" - Original Oil - ©2011 Trish Stevenson

Here I am, out of my comfort zone, painting birds and water instead of horses and dust. Keeps me on my toes I guess, and actually was more fun than I thought it would be. It's amazing how many colors are reflected in clear water! Click here to bid.
