Commissioned Oil Painting, 56"x44", Oil on canvas, Private Collection of Diane Holt, Washington, Texas

I received a commission with an attached photo in a book called Horse Follow Closely, on Native American Horsemanship. The photo resolution—a copy from the book was inadequate for painting reference. The client was contacted and informed, a higher resolution would be required in preparation of the painting. A search began and wound up in Germany. Gabrielle Boiselle was the photographer who granted permission, although the book publisher had to release the original photo. After the client reached the publisher,the resolution of the photo again needed to be increased to the required dimensions. As you can see, the painting was finished on a 56x44 inch canvas- a fabulous addition to the client's collection to hang in their home.

Air Rescue Oil on canvas - “Le Cheval – the horse,” Cazenovia College 2010

RESCUE BY HELICOPTER

When I was invited to submit work for a national show in Cazenovia,New York, every idea I could conjure up had already been used by painters in history. After thinking about the painful experiences a horse must endure, I had a vision of a forest fire and how horses are saved by being air lifted out of harms way. After doing a study of a horse harnessed up for a quick rescue , the idea occurred to me, a helicopter would be needed to complete the story. However,it seemed too complex and preliminary sketches didn’t work. One morning I decided to go for it- even though I was dubious about the idea working. I discovered, by creating a vacuum of fire and swirling smoke, I was able to tie the horse and helicopter together completing the composition.

Erie Canal Syracuse New York 24"x48" Oil on panel (AVAILABLE)











The Erie Canal is a canal in New York state from the Hudson River to Lake Erie, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. First proposed in 1699, it was built from 1817 to 1825. The Erie Canal was the first transportation route between the eastern seaboard (New York City) and the western interior (Buffalo) of the United States that was faster than carts pulled by draft animals, and cut transport costs by about 95%. The Canal resulted in a massive population surge in western New York state, opened regions further west to increased settlement, and was a prime factor in the rise of New York City as the chief port of the U.S. It was expanded in 1834 to 1862. In 1918 the original Canal was replaced by the larger New York State Barge Canal. Today it is part of the New York State Canal System, and is mainly used by recreational watercraft.
