Hot on the trail, Western Paso Fino Watercolor by Debbie Flood

Hot on the trail Medium Web view

I finished Hot on the trail. 16 x 18 Watercolor on Cresent Premium Watercolor Board, $1,500.00. 100% Archival.

This painting shows the intense heat from the day in the Canyon. They are hot on the trail of somebody, and will surely catch up to them soon! The Paso Fino is a wonderful mix of cool blues and warm orange, as is his rider. This is one painting that will surely POP off the wall!

I’ve been madly (having fun at it) painting new works and getting them ready for my debut in New Mexico at the Angel Fire ArtSpace Gallery, June 24th. The promotional postcards have been made, and are already in my studio! They look great!

There are about 23 paintings that are all framed and ready to be prepared for shipment. I still have another stack of paintings that are awaiting frames. I don’t think I have ever had so many paintings completed and framed this early in the year! Plenty of stock to go to other Galleries and Exhibits. It’s a very nice feeling to have the products and have them ready for venues. Focusing really works! Who would have thought?! ha ha.

I accept Paypal, and also Checks, for purchasing works of art. I also will arrange a payment plan that is easy on your budget. Once the painting is paid in full, it will be shipped right out to you. Large paintings ship Fedex with Insurance. Smaller works ship USPS Priority Mail with Insurance. I have been shipping works for many years, to clients and to exhibits. If you would like to learn more, about how you can own your very own Debbie Flood original, send me an email debflood@debfloodart.com

‘Paint Swish’ Watercolor of Western Paint Horse In Progress by Debbie Flood

paint swish progress 4 Medium Web view                                                                            This is the update on Paint swish, a 17 x 17 inch Watercolor in Progress.

This has become an interesting painting for me. I’ve let go of pre-thought out ways that I would like this painting to go, and have embraced just letting it happen. Yes, I got the preliminary sketches done and some composition worked out and I knew I wanted some kind of impact and dynamic painting, with the horse being quickly turned in mid gallop.  So I have used bold color of orange, yellow, and red with blues to make it pop.

I pretty much feel as though I am following along, just as you are. And I am marveling at how and where it is taking me.  I’ve mostly been working from the ground up on this painting. Isn’t that the way we often work at things in this life. Moving up our ladder of accomplishments. I’m moving up the ladder of areas in this painting.

I hope you are enjoying the progress of this painting. I have also been posting updates and a fun video of my studio on my Facebook Fan Page. You can find the link to that page on the sidebar of my Blog here.

Enjoy!

Testing a new way to Blog and a new painting in Progress by Debbie Flood

Hi, I’m here testing a new way for me to write to my blog. It is through my Windows Live on my Windows 7 Laptop. This is really nice.

Paint swish progress 3 Medium Web view

This is a new Watercolor that I am progressing on. I have titled it Paint Swish.

This painting is square, measuring 17 x 17. I’ve been having fun, watching this one develop. I’m letting go and letting the painting just happen.

My favorite part of this painting is the tail of the horse and all the “Fire” that seems to be swishing from it.

'Shallow waters' More Progress, Western Watercolor by Debbie Flood

I've been working on this "Shallow waters" watercolor. It was originally 30 inches wide. The size wasn't working for me. I realized that after a few weeks of setting it aside. Actually, I started this painting in January. Now that I have cropped the watercolor board down to 23 inches wide, I like it so much better and applying paint has been going rather smoothly. As smoothly as painting with watercolor can go.

I like how this painting is taking me back to the days that I did trail riding as a youth. Being out there with the horse and the land. There's nothing better than that! (At least in my opinion.)

International Equine Artists Founder Debbie Flood

I've been getting a good amount of comments from people that they didn't know I am the Founder of the International Equine Artists. So I thought I would Blog it.
At the moment our membership consists of 112 Members. All creators and lovers of horses in art. Many forms of art too! I have met a lot of Equine Artists from all over the globe.
I built the website, the online exhibits, the Private Member's Online Forum, the email Newsletters and much more.
I hope this doesn't sound like a brag post, I just thought that this bit of information might be useful to others. It also explains where a lot of my time is planted. But don't get me wrong, I am still full steam ahead with my painting, Gallery exhibits and running my Studio Business. I feel that the IEA group is an extension of my talents, and my studio. It all just seems to flow naturally and it is all encircled around the horse in art.
To me, it is all one and the same.
I hope you check out our website and the Spring into Summer Equus 2011 all member online exhibit that is going on right now! There is also People Choice voting! And yes, I have two paintings in the exhibit!
Enjoy all the talent and wonderful artists from around the globe, on our site.

You can tell me Horse and Boy Watercolor by Debbie Flood

I finished You can tell me 10 x 11 Watercolor $800.00.
The emotion in this piece is just oozing right out of it. The light bounces around and the colors work so well together.
This truly shows those young emotions we used to have, that only our pets could fix. Sometimes, I think as adults, the only thing that can help us is our pets! They love us, unconditionally. They don't harbor nonsense emotions, only love...and a lot of "Feed me"!! lol.

Enjoy the memories that this painting evokes in you and share the blog with your family and friends.
