Chincoteatue Wild Pony

These wild ponies were soooo beautiful when we finally got to see them the day of our paint out. We were all working for hours capturing the beauty of Chincoteague when they first came into view. As time went by they came closer and closer until I was able to use my zoon lens to capture some great close ups of their faces. I have loved horses since I was a little girl growing up in Philadelphia. We lived in the city with no place for a horse but I did dream of keeping one if our little one car garage. My Dad didn't go for it! Anyway, it is fun to paint them now and appreciate their beauty. Perhaps one day I will have that dream of owning one and learning to ride. This is a 12 by 12 original oil which is now on auction on eBay. Just click on my eBay store link... Thanks for stopping by!

Rockin' Rooster

Today was a day when I began to wonder if the universe was consipiring to keep me from doing what I LOVE.....PAINTING! My brand new computer....crashed! So tomorrow I have to ship it back to the manufacturer for some TLC.

In spite of that, and the fact that my house looks like a tornado blew through and my tree is still up....I managed to have a great time with this rockin' rooster.

White Rabbitt

White Rabbit is a 9 by 12 original oil that I painted today. I began four new pieces....all animals and this one was completed in time to get on auction on eBay and to post here. I grew up in a little row house in Philadelphia surrounded by concrete. We hardly ever saw fields or open spaces and never had rabbits running around outside. I do remember a time when a friend who had a pet bunny rabbit asked me to keep her rabbit for the weekend while they went out of town. It was so exciting to have a live animal in the house and my mother let me leave it out so it could hop around my living room and dining room. Now I am fortunate to live in a neighborhood that has lots of trees, a lake out back and tons of rabbits, squirrels, fox, geese, ducks, and more. I love being surrounded by nature! I love painting nature too. Enjoy! To bid on this piece or any others in my blog....click on my store on eBay and if you don't find it, contact me as nswilsonandco@cox.net. Nite SOLD
