House of the Friesians Chariot Ride
48" x 36"
$6,910

Inquire

World Friesian Horse Extravaganza was held in Springfield, Ohio in October 2007, and one of the highlights of the show was the chariot pulled by fo

And they had traveled 56 hours one way to get to Ohio just for the show! The House of Friesians crew was easy to spot throughout the show because they dressed in neon orange pants and yellow wooden shoes! I've featured these two bright colors in the background of this painting as a tribute to their outfits!

Spanish Mustang Huddle
28" x 22"
$2,460

Inquire

This painting of three of the Dildines' Spanish Mustangs is speckled with jewel colors. In this "horse huddle" the far horse is actually on the other side of a fence (not shown in the painting). He has just run from the far side of his huge pasture to meet up with some of the horses on this side of the fence. You've probably observed horses "putting their heads together" after being apart for a time. I often wonder the meaning of this particular equine communion.

Dildine Spanish Mustangs
48" x 20"
$3,840

Inquire

Now that I have a blog, I can write lots about each of my new paintings! The Dildines live in Chilton, Texas, on a spacious ranch -- just like many of us have dreamed of owning. Acres and acres of grass hills with trees for shade! It is wonderful! I was so fortunate that Carol invited me to visit. She is an alumni of my alma mater, Miami University of Ohio!

Jim and Carol drove us around their beautiful ranch in their pick up! It was so fun! Of course the best part was seeing their beautiful Spanish Mustangs in the most amazing earth tones! The Dildines are experts on the breed!

Jim also had long horn cattle!

Marshall
16" x 24"

SOLD

This kind, treasured Quarter Horse, Marshall, is Judy's perfect first horse.He is patient and so calm, and he reminds me of my Quarter Horse DJ both in disposition and appearance.

Jump!
36" x 36"
$5,180

Inquire

This BIG Jump painting is bigger than my normal work, but somehow a smaller size didn't seem sufficient for the tremendous effort exerted to clear this huge jump.
The painting is based on one of my photos from the 2006 American Gold Cup, a thrilling event to attend if you have the opportunity. In 2008, the American Gold Cup will be held
Wednesday, September 17, through Sunday, September 21, 2008, at the Cleveland Metroparks Polo Field in Moreland Hills, Ohio.

What's Got Their Attention?
48" x 17"
$3,260

Inquire

Jim and Carol Dildine invited us to visit their Spanish Mustang ranch in Chilton, Texas.
As we toured the ranch, their herds of horses eagerly headed toward the
Dildines' approaching pick up truck anticipating snacks!
The horses were beautiful shades of earthy colors.
This painting is the first of three that I've recently completed based on our visit.
(If I remember correctly the horse on the right is a visiting Quarter Horse.)
