"This bay caught my attention after riding one day and I decided to make a portrait.
After spending some time with him and gaining his trust, it was an easy matter to get him to pose (I didn't even need to ask him to sign a model release -- he was very cooperative.)
To me, this photo captures the mystery, power, and beauty of horses all in one."
Mystery Horse
Select:
"This image exemplifies that mysterious aspect even more.
Horses are generally silent, yet aware of everything just watch their eyes and ears.
I feel mystery as this horse gazes out at me from the darkness.
Their silhouette is at once captivating."
Happy Horse
Select:
"This is a photo of Prince, a beautiful quarter horse in a collected trot and a shot conveying contentedness.
You can tell he's happy, has great form, and is in tune with his rider."
Paint Portrait
Select:
"This paint conveys the strength and reliability I feel when thinking or talking about horses.
He conveys a feeling of "knowing" and "trustworthiness" that "I'll be there for you" reliability that we depend upon for those of us that like to ride or even require on working farms and cattle ranges.
I also like the beauty of him against the foliage of autumn a classic portrait."
Grazing Glow
Select:
"I find this shot peaceful.
The horses are backlit in the early morning sun with their tails and manes aglow.
They're content and it's going to be a beautiful day.
This kind of image gives me a sense of calm and peace every time I view it.
(I especially enjoy it in the winter!)"
