The New War Pony 22 x 29.5 inches, Watercolor.
I’m very pleased to announce that I have been Elected and Selected by the Founder and the judging Committee, to be an active Member in the American Society of Traditional Artists, ASTA
This is a very prestigious organization, founded in 2010 by Ed Copley.
Mr. Copley is also a founding member of the International Guild of Realism, which I was Elected into, in 2011/2012.
The Watercolor Painting above is a new painting I recently completed. This painting is at the Pro Printer/Photographer getting ready for Limited Edition and Open Edition Prints. If you are interested in reserving a print, please send me an email debflood@debfloodart.com
Vantage Point 22 x 29.5 inches Watercolor.
Vantage Point is also at the Printer’s and getting ready to be printed.
I’ve been working steady, creating the last few works for the Solo Museum Exhibit in The International Museum of Art of El Paso Texas July 7- August 25, 2013.
Hanging on by a thread, 21.5 x 29.5 inches. Watercolor. This is another recently finished watercolor.
Once I get the last 2 paintings finished and framed, I’ll just about be ready for the Solo Museum Exhibit, which will include 40 watercolor paintings. I’ll be driving there June/July and spending about a month out in the West. I’m really looking forward to the trip, meeting artist friends along the way and getting a lot of reference photos! My oldest son, who graduates from High School this June, will be going with me as well as a good friend’s daughter who is also graduating this June. It’s going to be a fun road trip!
We’ll also be spending some time in Angel Fire New Mexico, with my friend and Gallery Representation, Katherine. We’re hoping to get in some horse back riding in the Mountains there. And, work in a trip to the Monero Mustang Sanctuary.
Thank you for browsing my watercolor work and please share if you would like.

Wow, I can’t believe it has been since November 29th, since I wrote on my blog! That’s just not like me at all! But, with those Holidays in there, working on the International Equine Artists Organization Administration and painting for a huge solo exhibit, I guess…the blog got pushed to the side.
So, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hopefully this new year will be Healthy, and Prosperous for everyone!
Here is some new works that I have completed as of late:
Homeward bound 29 x 21 inches, watercolor
Passing showers, 22 x 29 inches, watercolor of the Monero Mustangs in Northern New Mexico.
Red Rock Canyon, Sedona Arizona, 11 x 14 inches Watercolor Pencil on Suede Mat Board.
She’s a wild one, 21 x 23 inches, watercolor.
As you can see, most of these are very large! That’s where I’ve been spending most of my time!
I’ve got six paintings headed to the Pro Printer/Photographer’s January 3rd. The watercolors going, to have Professional Prints made are:
I’m blue for you
Platadero
Safe in the Sage
The Warrior’s Shirt
Past Glories
The Medicine Woman
I don’t have much “News” to share, as I haven’t been entering works in any exhibits. I’ve been creating new paintings, and saving the pennies for framing, shipping and a plane ticket to Texas for the Museum Exhibit this Summer.
I suppose that’s pretty darn exciting though! I’m so looking forward to experiencing El Paso, and hopefully the lower portion of New Mexico!
Thank you for stopping by, reading and looking. If you have any inquiries about the art or prints, send me off an email at debflood@debfloodart.com

The Warrior's Shirt
21.5 x 29 inches. watercolor on 300lb watercolor paper.
This painting is slated for my Solo Exhibit in the International Museum of Art of El Paso, Texas, July and August of 2013.
This painting depicts the Warrior who has been honored with this red shirt, for his deed and generosity. Awarded as a special shirt by the Warrior's Society. The shirt is embellished with Ermines on the sleeves.
The War Pony wears a captured Cavalry bridle that has been decorated with rawhide strips covered in shell casings, brass beads and red and white heart beads. Warriors thought that the thing taken from the enemy during or after a battle would transfer the power of that person to them. Because the bridle is decorated in the shell casings, it gives the war pony the power to ride through hails of bullets with out being harmed.
Thank you goes to Debbie Herzman and her Appaloosa horse, Scooter. For reference images to use for the painting, and for describing what the pieces are.

Platedero is a Spanish Mustang Band Stallion I had the privilege to photograph and whisper to, this past Summer in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico. A Northern area of New Mexico, up in the Mountains.
Platedero is a slang Spanish/Hispanic word for ‘Silver’. He was named for his silver coloring when he was born on the Monero Mustang Sanctuary in New Mexico.
