Spring Gulch Equestrian Area

A small plein air oil on board looking down onto a gulch that is used for equestrian riding. This is sandy creek bottom complete with horse jumps, fences and a dressage area.  Love to watch the contests in the summer!

Barrel Rider Sketch

I like the energy of this picture.  The horse is trained and obedient while the rider is in control.  This sketch will probably change into a more refined painting later.

36"x24" oil on canvas.

Bear Creek Path in Summer
