"Chill Wind" & "Abstracted"

Early last week, there came a point where I couldn't paint another thing and just had to take a break - so we took a mini-roadtrip to Aiken, South Carolina and went to the Steeplechase. For a small town, it was quite a big event - #12 was a beautiful horse named Chill Wind. About twenty minutes after the first race the thunderstorms rolled in and we were outtathere - but it was fun. Nice to get away.

Getting back to painting, I had to start with a loose one - thought it would a good opportunity to join forces and donate 50% of the final sale of this painting to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake & Pacific Tsunami, so I would appreciate your bids.


Worth mentioning, the Daily Paintworks group has organized The Help Japan Challenge, including an on-site auction where artists are donating the final sales to several charities.

I will donate 100% of the final sale of this painting, 'Abstracted'.

  5. Just came across this lovely painting while researching Chill Wind's past, now that he is here being re-trained as a show horse after his racing days finished. Love seeing snippets of his past like this!
