Spent a happy 2 hours reshooting and having fun with smoke art. / Reshoot as I’d lost 2 shoots when my disk went “boom!” some time back – this was one of them. Been meaning to get this done – just that it gets really stuffy with joss sticks!

9×12 watercolor enhanced colored pencil on Arches “satin” finish paper. Part of a series. / Many consider the Trakehner to be Europe’s finest warmblood and the ideal competition horse. During World War II, 1,200 Trakehners, out of 25,000 registered in the East Prussian studbook, were trekked 900 miles across Europe to prevent them from falling into Soviet hands. Using this nucleus, German breeders have been able to preserve the breed. / It originated in the 13th century studs of the Teutonic Knights, in what used to be East Prussia. They used indigenous Schweiken ponies, descendants of the Tarpan, as a base. The Royal Trakehner Stud was founded by Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia in 1732, and aimed to produce active coach horses.

9×12 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. / The black Friesian is a coldblood horse of ancient origin. In its own land it arouses much the same admiration, and even adulation, as that given to the massive Shire horse in Britain. Although it is ridden and displays great agility under saddle, the modern Friesian excels as an impressive, free-moving harness horse. It’s temperament and appearance made it popular with circus trainers, and its presence and color ensure a market for it in the funeral business. / The Friesian, which descends from the “primitive” Forest Horse of Euopre, is bred principally in Friesland on the northern Netherlands coast.

The Oldenburg is a breed of horse originating in Germany. They are most popular for use today in the sports of dressage and show jumping. The History / The Oldenburg was first bred in Lower Saxony, Germany. The foundations were first laid by Count Johan von Oldenburg in the late 16th century. He bred Friesian mares with Danish, Turkish, Neopolitan, and Andalusian stallions to produce large war horses. His son, Count Anton, travelled Europe and brought home the finest Spanish and Italian stallions, to add speed and strength. His tenant farmers were also allowed to breed from his stallions, establishing the tradition of small, private studs that is still common with the breeders in that region today. In the 17th century, the Oldenburg became a well-known coach horse, admired for its height, power, and elegance. It was also used as a riding horse. In the 18th century, Thoroughbred blood was added to refine the breed. In 1820, it became illegal to use any but a government-approved stallion for breeding, but it wasn’t until1861, that the Oldenburg stud book was established. In 1897, Oldenburg breeders brought Thoroughbreds, Cleveland Bays, Yorkshire Coach Horses, Normans, and some Hanoverians to further improve the breed. In the earlier part of the 20th century, the Oldenburg was still being used as a high-stepping coach horse, as well as on farms. But as machinery replaced horse power, the stud owners decided to breed for an all-around riding horse. In the 1950s, the Thoroughbred Lupus and the Anglo-Norman Condor founded a new Oldenburg stallion line, which produced heavy but elegant mares. From that point, only the finest of European livestock have contributed to the breed. Thoroughbreds were used first to refine the Oldenburg, then Trakehners, Anglo-Normans, Anglo-Arabians, Selle Francais, Hanoverians, and Westphalians. The resulting horse is an excellent sport horse that is more refined than its predecessors. The Oldenburg Today / The Oldenburg has been especially successful in the dressage arena. Famous dressage horses include Donnerhall and Gestion Bonfire, as well as Relevant. (information from Wikipedia) Complete 2006

ACEO / miniature art of a beautiful Tabby called Neska, with amber eyes, done with coloured pencils and ink on drafting film. Neska’s eyes are actually green in colour but I wanted to add to my series of artwork featuring cat’s eyes ( Emerald Eyes, Sapphire Eyes and Turquoise Eyes). There is such diversity in the colours that cat’s eyes come in and I never tire of admiring the beauty of their eyes. Reference photo for this artwork was taken by Ainhoa Pcb http://www.flickr.com/photos/ainhoap/455734885/ and was used with her kind permission.

Goat. Photo based illustration. “The scapegoat was a goat that was driven off into the wilderness as part of the ceremonies of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, in Judaism during the times of the Temple in Jerusalem. The rite is described in Leviticus 16. / The word is more widely used as a metaphor, referring to someone who is blamed for misfortunes, generally as a way of distracting attention from the real causes.” (quoted anonymous)

9×12 Watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Original unavailable. / The American Paint Horse Association registers the offspring of horses with Paint, Quarter Horse, and Thoroughbred registration papers. Pintos and Paints are descendants of the Spanish horses brought to America in the 16th century. Until the 18th and 19 centuries, a part-colored strain was evident in Europe, in horses derived from Spanish blood. The name “Pinto” comes from the Spanish word “pintado”, meaning “painted”, and in the vernacular of the western cowboy this became Paint. Complete 2006

9×12 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Part of a series. The Lusitano is noted as a showy carriage horse as well as a saddle horse of the highest quality, and was once the mount of the Portuguese cavalry. It is the horse most favored by the Portuguese bullfighter and, in that role, is schooled in the advanced movements of the “haute ecole”. In more recent years, the Lusitano has become popular outside the Iberian Peninsula and it has an enthusiastic following in both Britain and the United States. / BREEDING The breed is in effect the Portuguese version of the Andalusian and is claimed to be indistinguishable from its neighbor, although it is possible, in some cases, to discern slight differences in type. / CHARACTERISTICS Although sometimes more “on the leg” than the Andalusian, in the eyes of some observers, the intelligent Lusitano is just as brave, quick and superbly balanced. The naturally elevated action is spectacular, and the breed’s agility is remarkable. (information from Eyewitness Handbooks – Horses) Complete 2007

11×15 watercolor and gouache on cold press paper. Original available. The Eastern or American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis), also known as the Wild Canary, is a North American bird in the finch family. It is migratory, ranging from southern Canada to North Carolina during the breeding season, and from just south of the Canadian border to Mexico during the winter. The only finch in its subfamily which undergoes a complete molt, the American Goldfinch displays sexual dimorphism in its coloration; the male is a vibrant yellow in the summer and an olive color during the winter months, while the female is a dull yellow-brown shade which brightens only slightly during the summer. The male displays brightly colored plumage during the breeding season to attract a mate. The American Goldfinch is granivorous and adapted for the consumption of seedheads, with a conical beak to remove the seeds and agile feet to grip the stems of seedheads while feeding. It is a social bird, and will gather in large flocks while feeding and migrating. It may behave territorially during nest construction, but this aggression is short-lived. Its breeding season is tied to the peak of food supply, beginning in late July, which is relatively late in the year for a finch. This species is generally monogamous, and produces one brood each year. Human activity has generally benefited the American Goldfinch. It is often found in residential areas, attracted to bird feeders installed by humans, which increases its survival rate in these areas. Deforestation by humans also creates open meadow areas which are the preferred habitat of the American Goldfinch. (info from Wikipedia) Complete 2009

9×12 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Part of a series. / The modern Hackney Horse is the most spectacular show ring harness horse, although it also takes part successfully in competitive driving events at international level. It is an English breed, direved from the renowned Norfolk and Yorkshire Roadsters, and has been exported all over Europe as wel as to the Americas, South Africa, and Australia. The origin of the word Hackney, used with a capital letter after the foundation of the Hackney Horse Society in 1883, is open to question. It probably comes from the french “haquenee”, which means a “nag” or gelding. Complete 2006
