The Image Appears in This Work-In-Progress, “Wild Horses”

A detail from The first application of ink to reveal the image for the painting, "Wild Horses".

The first application of ink to reveal the image for the painting, "Wild Horses".

This is the third phase in creating my painting: applying ink to the paint spatter to define the image. It’s a tense, but satisfying part of the process. The problem is ink splats happen! And you never know when.

But there’s still a ways to go before this painting is finished.

See the evolution of this piece from sneak peek to idea exploration to paint spatter to preliminary sketches to inked images to completed painting.

The original painting of  “Wild Horses” is available for purchase here.

And you can see the finished painting in person at the Art of the Horse Art Exhibit at Cal Expo (Sacramento, CA) starting today, Friday, through Sunday(June 8-10), as part of the Western States Horse Expo.
