Watercolor / color pencil, 9″ x 12″

This painting was inspired by my favorite barrel saddle. I have always loved an old, quality, handmade saddle. From the intricate details to the high quality leather, it’s as if every stitch was made with a purpose. I knew from the first time I rode in this saddle it had to be mine. It just fits me like a glove. This piece is a tribute to those little things in life that give you that “fit like a glove” feeling.

We like to play in the dirt…

So… We had our first official debut a couple weeks ago in Checotah, OK, at the Betty Roper barrel race! I’ll be honest, it was a scary experience at first. Actually, I think it was mostly just the thought of it that was scary. We agreed to do the show just over a month before the barrel race, and we still had a TON of preparation and work to do. We had zero display, zero inventory… and zero prior knowledge of running a booth! Haha! But I have to say I think it all ended up coming together well, for a first try. We learned a lot and have lots of room for improvement! So I’m thinking it was a success! We had a great day hanging out with our barrel racing friends, making new contacts and getting really, really dirty! Thanks to everyone who came out and said hello. We sure enjoyed meeting all the new faces!

Stay tuned, more shows to come!

This was my first real attempt at completing a full drawing using color pencils. I was flipping through a Western Horseman one day, and saw a picture of Shining Spark… and I liked it so much I decided I wanted to try to draw him. I’ve always loved a palomino.
