New work "Spirited"
Charcoal on canvas 18 x 24 inches
This is Jazz and I
Jazz was born in 1986
He was my best buddy
My horse Jazz is why I do art. When I lost him, I was obsessed with finding all the photos I had of him, which was not nearly enough. I signed up for art lessons to learn to draw horses. My idea was to draw him doing all the things I never got a photo of. I wanted to write and illustrate the story of Jazz. Not sure now if I will ever do that but he died in 1997 and I am still doing art and doing it more passionately than ever. I owe this gift to him.
He was so handsome!
I have been steadily focuses more and more on drawing and painting and I have a plan for a new series. I am also planning on having an art show at my residence in late summer. Stay tuned for future updates. :)
