Just come up with this idea! New to blogging so apologies to all who see this...hope I can figure out how to post the daily results by December!
I intend to paint a standardbred racehorse painting
every day during December just like an advent calendar! However, I think I'll carry on until January 1st given its the official birthday of all racehorses. This will be an exciting challenge for me...
I do hope you will follow my blog, I think the norm for me would be for a new work to be posted every week....until I figure out how this blog works or if I'm working on commissions! I may side track a little, as I'm discovering more about me. I may use my History of Art Masters to help describe my work, as different artists do come into my head, as do techniques they used from time to time. I'll try not to ramble too much, once I start painting. My energy will be focused on painting.
So much equine art captures the photographic image brilliantly, yet the horses spirit is not there. I don't want to do this, I don't copy images onto canvas, I'm not only trying to capture the spirit of the horse but create a painting with my "self" in each work, especially for those of you who see me out there.
The
Mantra for my work is "
WHERE IS SARAH" and this is what I hope you will comment on, in order to help me discover myself! This blog will be a journey for my painting ability and hopefully I will not only develop technically, but emotionally too... This is true art and what makes a painting really successful or not...
