Heading home
11 x 14 Oil on Linen
$250.00
You know how with certain friends and artists you just feel like you are at home and in the right place? That all came together for me with this painting. I want to thank Jim Richards for being a fabulous teacher and pulling together my horse above with several masterful strokes and walla… A beautiful horse was born! We laughed and I am lucky to be in the right place.
The heading home part comes in with heading back to my home state of South Carolina and getting to be with some truly special artist friends for a wonderful visit in Beaufort, South Carolina. The fabulous Jerry Stocks lives there and we were on our way with everyone’s favorite Kelley MacDonald to go see the incredibly talented Sandra Baggette. We got a tour of Beaufort and I just loved this horse and carriage. It was the most charming afternoon and I felt like I was right at home and in the right place all over again!

I love it! The warm reds against the white building are brilliant. Love the looseness of your style. And…of course…I love the story. Sounds like a wonderful time.

Well, you learn something every day! I was THERE for that photo, and I didn't know it was your Home state! I love South Carolina - it has such charm! But I know and am glad YOU know about the few strokes that make a horse a horse! It's yours now, you own it. Now I want to paint my photo of that, too -you inspired me! Beautiful piece, Kathy.. go go GO!
(and a shout-out to Sandra & Jerry - beautiful Peeps from the Atlanta workshop!)
