New Design!

I've just updated the look of this blog page, using a template (of course!) to which I could add a picture of my own choosing.  I created background image you see using a photograph of a gorgeous leopard Appaloosa I was fortunate enough to photograph in early Autumn 2010, and combining it with a layer of clouds (again from a photo I took).  After converting the resulting image to black and white I added a sepia wash.  I can imagine many more things I could do to play with this image, "Cloud Runner", but thought that for now at least, simplicity was best!

Enjoy!

Norwegian Face!

Just thought I'd post a picture of Thai, the Norwegian Fjord horse I painted for a friend's birthday. He's really such a handsome guy. Hope the sun shines again soon so I can get out and take pictures of him on a sunny day - before the snow flies again! This picture was taken about 2 years ago. Funny how times flies!

I think I'll use this image at Zazzle. Would make a really cute card!

A Personal Favourite!

The photograph I took of a friend's frollicking horse herd has become a favourite of mine. I'm using it as the banner here, on my T-shirtmonster and my Zazzle sites. I believe I may yet work this into a logo for my Ravenwood Studio ventures.

Pony Club Fundraiser Donation

Just thought I'd mention that I'd been asked if I'd like to donate something for the silent auction at the 50th Anniversary of the Caledon & Credit Valley Pony Clubs (for members and Alumni at the Caledon Riding Club on Saturday, June 27th at 2 pm). The above pic is my offering. I'm hoping it will be a good introduction to the local horse people and raise some funds for this worthy cause.
