Horses Horses Horses

These are 36 of the 50 horses that I am making for the Sanchez art center 50/50 exhibit. I’m having a great time letting each image go where it may.
I am using 6″X6″ tiles which I draw with under-glaze pencils and add a splash of color with glaze. After firing the tiles I finish the pieces with encaustic medium and oil paints. I use additive and subtractive methods to achieve a rich, textural surface with a semi-translucent finish that gives the pieces an ephemeral quality.

Enjoy!
Here are at last horses 50 total Yeiiiii!!!!!!!

    These are so beautiful it’s hard to pick a favorite. On first glance, I enjoy the colorful, playful ones, but as I look at them for longer I’m drawn to the simple, ethereal petroglyph-like drawings. I can’t wait to see them installed!
