The Making of My Painting, "Trailride Break at Moses Cone Mountain" Pictured is a recent painting I finished.

I have loved horses ever since I was a little girl. And I have to admit that this #bay horse head painting is one of my favorites.

I was playing with "photo transfer techniques on this #mixedmedia. I wanted a quote to go with the concept of the importance of rest.
