  • The well worn saddle gear from an outback property.

  • A portrait of a beautiful white horse

  • For my dad’s 60th B’day, the title is an anagram of his name. Happy b’day old man!

  • The original watercolour painting was commissioned by a client several years ago. However this painting has remained one of my personal favorites because for me, the horse’s expression says everything there is to say about dressage. NB. For several years I signed my artwork with my first and middle name only.

  • Watercolour on paper.

  • /

  • Black Beauty, oil painting by Coolart. This was inspired by the film, hence the name of course.

  • This is the way to an old town called “Villa del Totoral” in Cordoba, Argentina. / /

  • Linoleum block print composed in Photoshop

  • Paint horse grazing on a beautiful autumn morning…. as is.

  • Harvard’s July sunset portrait after his workout. 2008

  • A Horse just relaxes the muscles on his front legs to cause its stay apparatus to kick in, rotates its hips and literally hooks one bone up over a knob on another bone, and then happily snoozes away while standing up even when harnessed. I should learn how to do that. It seriously would come in handy because sometimes I’m so tired I think I could sleep standing up!

  • Four year old dressage mare

  • Some curious beasts indeed! First time drawing horses…as an adult anyway. I used to draw them all the time as a kid. Not quite like this though. Watercolour, ink and chalk pastel on canvas.

  • © 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau “Music was an important ingredient of ranch lifestyle, adding a joyous note to celebrations and gatherings and relieving the loneliness of paniolo working remote areas of the ranch. Before the era of television and other distractions, paniolo also serenaded their neighbors, bringing music and companionship to far-flung communities. Paniolo music was and is vocal, songs accompanied by guitar and/or `ukulele, stringed instruments whose portability is well-suited to cowboy life. Guitars arrived with the Mexican vaquero, while `ukulele developed later from the Portuguese branguiha brought by immigrants in 1879. Guitar playing grew a uniquely Hawaiian style called kiho`alu or slack-key. Open tuning of the strings produced a specific chord when the instrument was strummed. Some standard slack-key tunings are called taro patch, wahine and maunaloa. Other original tunings – more openly shared nowadays – were carefully guarded family secrets among older generations. Originally, slack-key guitar always accompanied song lyrics. Today it is often performed as a solo instrumental. The paniolo’s other instrument was his voice. Leo ki`eki`e or falsetto singing may have come from the Mexican falsetto tradition of the Vera Cruz area. It also had antecedents in ancient Hawaiian chant. Yodeling – later a popular element in country-western music – made an early appearance in paniolo songs. Church hymns strongly influenced paniolo harmonies. Paniolo songs document and celebrate ranch life. Always composed in the Hawaiian language, they portray personalities, events, work activities and special places. “Wiomina” tells of the 1908 rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming. “Me Ka Nani a `o Kaupo” describes Kaupo Ranch on Maui. A round-up of wild cattle is the subject of “Pu`uhuluhulu” and “Ku`u Hoa Hololio” talks about the partnership between a paniolo and his horse. Many songs use kaona, the veiled or metaphoric meaning of words so common to ancient chant and poetry. As an example, “Ne`ene`e Mai a Pili” is on one level about horseback riding, but the motions and emotions can also be understood as a description of lovemaking. Paniolo music is a folksong tradition with compositions passed on orally. Many songs have come to us passed down through families. While most songs were composed and played by paniolo themselves, composers like Charles E. King, Marcus Shutte and Sol K. Bright also wrote songs about paniolo although they were not cowboys themselves. While ranching has dwindled as an activity on the Islands, paniolo traditions live on. Singers like Sonny Chillingworth, Kindy Sprout and others perform and record the rich paniolo legacy.” Quote Text by hawaiihistory.org Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / Shooting Date/Time 12 May 2009 17:23:51 / Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE / Tv 1/15 Av 6.3 Partial Metering ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 28.0 mm

  • Can’t seem to find my program from this raceday. I’ll dig it out at some point and update this with info about the horse & jockey. Canon Rebel XT w/ Canon 75-300mm lens Churchill Downs Louisville, KY

  • American Saddlebred, Oregon State Fair 2009

  • Half Halt The secret to riding your dressage horse like a professional is to ride from half halt to half halt rather than from movement to movement. The half halt is your connective tissue between the dressage movements. They’re what make your ride or dressage test look like it flows seamlessly like a dance. Acrylic Paint on Canvas / 75cm X 60cm Original Painting is For Sale unframed – POA This is an example of work that I have just completed. It has been several years since I worked with paint and canvas so I would be interested in your comments.

  • Half Pass The half-pass is a lateral movement seen in dressage, in which the horse moves forward and sideways at the same time. The outside hind and forelegs should cross over the inside legs, with the horse’s body parallel to the arena wall and his forehand (not his hind end) leading. The horse should remain forward, balanced, and bent, moving with cadence. The inside hind leg must remain engaged throughout the half-pass, and the horse should not lose its rhythm.

It has been several years since I worked with paint and canvas so I would be interested in your comments.

  • The Bascule The bascule is the natural round arc a horse’s body takes as he goes over a jump. The horse should rise up through his back, stretching his neck forward and down, when he reaches the peak of his jump. This is often described as the horse taking the shape of a dolphin jumping out of the water, with the horse’s back up, and its head reaching forward and down over the fence.
