The White (Horse) Album

This was an interesting painting to create. I had toned the background of a number of larger, 3' x 4', 2' x 4' canvases along with this smaller 9 x 12. The paint to longer to dry than I had planned so I worked on the smaller canvas with its still very wet orange background.

Painting at the Horse Show - Blowing Rock NC

A great two weeks of horse show and painting. Ponies and leadline, dogs and barns, horses and spectators.  I had hoped to get more paintings finished of the show and grounds, but a number of commissioned paintings were completed at the show. Some from photos, others from setting the easel up on location and painting. Here are a few....

Pony Morning - Blowing Rock 11 x 14 oil on canvas

The Wave - Leadline  8 x 10 oil on linen panel

Not much more to say about this.

By the Ingate  8 x 10 oil on linen panel (this painting is available)

In the Boxes 8 x 10 oil on linen panel

(the people in this painting were constantly coming and going, they were not all together at any one time.  This painting available.)

At the Barn  8 x 10 Oil on canvas

In this painting, the barn was painted on location, the figure added later from a photograph (it was a gift to him) 

Another view of the Boxes,    "Keg",  8 x 10 oil on canvas

A commissioned painting of her horses in their stalls, this collector agreed to have the second horse eating the fern.  Thank you, so much more interesting,  Oil on canvas, 8 x 24

4 x 6 Oil on linen panel
This painting was commissioned and given to the horse's owner as a gift from the rider.


More leadline paintings, horseshow paintings and eventually you will get to see paintings that are to be gifts some time in the future.

Thanks, Steve

Grazing in the Grass

Last night I posted a photo of the paintings currently on my easel (on my facebook page -  www.facebook.com/sfilarsky )

The painting on the left is a commission of the HITS shows grounds in Ocala FL.  While thumbing through the folders, I couldn't resist another painting of one of my favorite Florida scenes - Cows in huge pastures that are filled with live oaks and spanish moss.

As you can see below, the painting of the cow in the field has been completed.

Now back to the commission before I allow myself another cow painting.

I was thinking that "Grazing in the Shade" would be a title for this painting. From that I began hearing "Grazing in the Grass" in my head, then I found myself singing at the easel. So "Grazing in the Grass" it is.

For those born too late, "G in the G" was a hit for South Aftrican trumpeter Hugh Masakela in 1968 and then again for the Friends of Distinction a year later.   If you want to hear it, I have a link at the bottom of the page, but first you can add this original oil painting to your collection by clicking here
