This is the first of a few wildlife experiments for the High Country Collection, I wanted to play with some of the sights you might see from horseback in the mountains! Have you ever had a crazy wildlife encounter while riding? 👀

This nocturne from 2023 is still one of the most peaceful pieces l've done. Something about the white coat gleaming in the moonlight makes me think of old western book covers!

Believe it or not, the second sketch was way harder for me to complete! I used to trace out my hyperrealistic portraits and tell myself that I was "working on my shading"

For my next journey into the mountains for the High Country Collection, I want to take you along for the entire painting process! This session was all about setting the scene with the lighting and the landscape. 🌲☀️ Any questions about the process so far? Drop them below!

Working on this stocky horse for my next piece in the High Country Collection. Painting backlighting can be so tricky, it always looks wrong to me until I hit about 75% of the way done!😅

Freehand sketching is always one of the hardest things for me, which is why I know that I need to keep doing it as often as I can. I want to make sure my grasp on anatomy and dynamic linework stays fresh! This sketch has been sold to a private collector.

Starting with the very FIRST oil painting I ever completed! Looking back at my journey like this makes me fall in love with the medium of oil paint all over again.

Meet Dorothy Morrell, the cowgirl awarded "Women's World Champion Bucking Horse Rider" at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 1914! She was inspired to try her hand at rodeoing after watching some female bronc riding herself, I hope she'd be pleased her photos are inspiring other cowgirls.

This might be the cutest pair of cheeky mules you've ever seen! I was so excited to send my client a photo of the finished piece, I missed taking the final video clip of the canvas! There was no way I wasn't going to share the process of painting these two with you all.
