New ACEO Horse Paintings
Posted By Carrie L. Lewis on January 29, 2010
There are four new ACEO horse paintings to announce: three oils and one colored pencil.
ACEO Horse Painting 2010-003 – Hock Study Lockkeeper is shown at the right and features a detail study of the flexed hock in the portrait of Lockkeeper. It is an original oil painting on gessoed mat board.
Also finished are ACEO Horse Painting 2010-004 – Hind Feet Study Lockkeeper and ACEO Horse Painting 2010-005 – Hind Feet Study. One of those is another detail study from the Lockkeeper portrait. The other is a more abstract painting of back hooves painted with a more muted palette than the detailed studies.
I am also very happy to share the first colored pencil ACEO of 2010. ACEO Horse Painting 2010-006 – Red Bay Appy Itching was finished yesterday and is the first of a series of three ACEOs featuring grazing appaloosas. All will be in colored pencil and may be purchased individually or as a set.
The remaining cards are not yet completed, but will be soon. Keep watch.
All of the 2010 Series ACEO Horse Paintings are available for review and purchase on the ACEO Horse Painting page in the galleries on this page.
Stayed tuned for additions to the 2010 ACEO Horse Paintings collection.
If you would like to see an ACEO sized painting of your favorite horse or pony, contact me. ACEO and other portraits are available in oils and colored pencil. I am always looking for good subjects and interesting compositions.
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.
