I ran across such a scene one July morning in rural Colorado. The sun cast a beautiful glow around a field of ranch horses.

In this painting, I tried to bring out the bold, rich colors of these horses along with their fire, energy, and personalities.

the real basis for your work making it into an art show is the quality of the work itself, and that's what I want to talk about today.

Are you an artist who's been baffled about how to get your work juried or invited into art shows?

The idea for this piece came to me as I awoke from a dream. It was just there, in my mind's eye, finished.

I'm feeling artistically restless, which usually signals some kind of creative or stylistic evolution for me.

We could hear horses snorting and jostling each other on the far side of the trees.
