Pepe painting for Anke
Pepe is my friend Anke’s beautiful Hanovarian mare. I was so happy when Anke commissioned me to paint her lovely horse. I painted three different paintings of her horse using two different mediums, pastel and oil paint. This Pepe horse painting is in pastel. It was fun to paint three different paintings in three different styles. I am so grateful that Anke liked them and two of these paintings of her horse Pepe are now hanging in her home. Thank you Anke!

" My guiding light as an artist is expressing the power, movement and sensitive nature of horses and other animals. So many of us know the beauty and love shared by us and the animals. It is an emotional kinship. I find great joy in creating a painting where the life and soul can be seen and felt not just by me, but the viewer as well.
In creating a piece I often combine engaging expressions in my subjects that evoke emotional curiosity along with dynamic energy, life and spirit circling within the composition. My paintings are first felt in my heart and are complete when the spirit of the piece arouse a feeling of intimate communication. My mission is to accurately portray the equine form, combined with color, inspired originality, infused with living essence.
I will continue to paint in oil with expressive brushwork, inspired by the vibrant animals that dance through my mind."
