Each one of my paintings starts with a spatter of paint. Pictured above is the spatter that inspired the painting, “Wild Horses”. I can always feel an excitement when I have a paint spatter that holds an image that I have yet to uncover. What can you see in this spatter?

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.
