Charm, showing off the only braids that will stay in her endless mane.
Alli with Charm. Billy is behind me, wondering why he is in horse jail.
For not the first time, but maybe the last time, I have started a "home business". The difference with this one is that it is one I really enjoy. I've drawn and painted horses since I was (at least) five years old--that's the earliest one that my mother saved.By the time I entered my teens, Mother had grown a bit tired of the subject and urged me to do something else with my artwork besides horses. I followed her advice and never looked back until ten years ago when it occurred to me that people might actually pay for horse portraits. I have had many exhibits of my landscapes, and sold a good number of them--but not enough to provide any kind of steady income.
I'm hoping that if I work hard and market this business well I will be able to delight my customers, make some money, and have a lot of fun doing it.

Two drafts and a commission
Spent about 3 l-o-n-g days drawing all the harness detail on this pair of drafts that I photographed way back when at one of the Harvard Milk Days horse shows. The photo had been sitting in a file folder for … Continue reading
Team penning, antiques, and…an escapee
A cold, foggy day dawned for my second year appearance at Harvard Milk Days. Fortunately the gloom didn’t keep the crowds away and I had a nice bit of traffic at my booth. This year they changed the format of … Continue reading
