Horses


Wow it has been a while since I have posted any messages. Time has passes quickly when I have been busy. I have been working on some little clay horse portraits. They have been fun to do. When I work in Terra Cotta I work very loosely, so it's a good exercise for me.


I have just started to get ready for a demonstration I will be giving in Leisure World in March. I am going to show the Ceramic and Sculpture Studio group how to make the armature, and 3 stages of progress of my horse sculptures. I will show them the very beginning to the bronze finish. I am posting the image of my one bronze horse. This horse is available at Showcase Gallery or by contacting the artist.


I will take pictures of my clay ones for the next post.

Horses

Oil 14" x 18"

Hi! I am posting another of my horse series paintings. This is the one that started the series. I had fun doing it so I created more as you will see if you come back to my blog.
Hope to see you next time!

SWEET MEMORY

She was my friend and companion
Always there for me
It is hard to lose a part of your life
But it was time to go.
Illness took her from us.
She was with us for 21 years.
She didn’t look or act like an old lady defying her 29 years.
Ambrosia, my friend you will always be with me.






Hello! I am Marilee and I am an artist. I do sculplture, plein air paintings, horse paintings, and portraits. I right now I am working on a series of horse paintings. After my Morgan mare died, I started to do the series starting with her portratit as part of the grieving process.
I also wrote the poem for the painting. The painting is not for sale, but I do accept commissions.

I plan on putting a different art work on my blog each time. I hope you will enjoy seeing my work and might want to buy one to add it to your collection or start a collection. See my website for more work.
