Park Pony Finds New Home
Posted By Carrie L. Lewis on November 11, 2009
As many of you know, I recently donated an original colored pencil painting, Park Pony, to a local benefit sale.
Park Pony, an original colored pencil painting, was chosen by a representative of The Kansas Christian Home Auxiliary for their 2009 holiday bazaar.
The Holiday Bazaar & Bake Sale was November 6 & 7, 2009. The painting brought in nearly $300 during the weekend.
I am very pleased to announce the Cedar Point, Kansas resident, Judy Wealand, is now the owner of Park Pony. Neal and I had the great pleasure of delivering the painting to Judy at her home on Sunday. It’s always a thrill to see artwork in good homes and Park Pony is certainly in a good home.
My thanks to Judy for visiting the KCH Auxiliary Bazaar this past weekend and for participating in the Park Pony raffle. Congratulations are in order, too!
Proceeds from sales and the raffle help support the Kansas Christian Home in Newton, Kansas.
I am a self-taught artist for the most part. Lots of trial and error in the past forty years! Formal art training consists of a couple of years of high school art, a painting class at a community college, one semester in the Fine Arts program at Abilene Christian University and a couple of local workshops.
I am always looking for ways to better my artistic skills, so I am a permanent student in the School of Trial and Error. I love reading and have been known to spend hours online researching materials and techniques. As a result, I've painted in several different styles, including the direct method (which goes straight for the color) and Classical methods (which involves underpaintings, layering and glazing).
I have exhibited paintings in locations such as Lone Star Park Race Track, Grand Prairie, Texas and Remington Park Race Track, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Since the early 90s, I've worked with the Michigan Harness Horseman's Association, donating custom portraits to their annual benefit auction.
In the course of maintaining a growing art business, I have taught myself web design (a skill that will no doubt prove to be a continual learning experience).
I also enjoy puttering around the yard, chasing trains with my husband, Neal, travel and, of course, looking at horses whenever they appear on my horizon.
