I guess many youngsters from my generation
and background dreamed of being a horseman or cowboy of some sort. I am certainly one that has always ….since I
can remember, had a love of horses, riding and all that goes with it. I had several different horses as a youngster,
and always seemed to have a riding horse until I got to be of automobile
driving age…..not that I was ever a big fan of cars….and, I’m still not. It really had more to do with dating girls….I
guess. It is a bit difficult to go on traditional
dates on horseback!
As an
artist, I believe one gravitates to subjects that have some kind of
connection. I paint a varied subject,
and horses are one that I continually revisit.
As a young man I always thought it would be great to have a place where
a couple of horses could be kept.
Careers and life gets in the way of some of these dreams…..not that I’m
complaining. At times, with unbelievable
busy schedules/deadlines, it might have been difficult to care for horses
properly! Anyway, here are a few recent
paintings/studies of the noble beast….one of my favorite subjects to
paint.
Maybe I’ll post a few of my horseback
stories at some later date! Again,
thanks for listening to my Cajun ramblings!
