Thursday, June 7th is the opening date for my solo exhibition at the visitor center art gallery at the Belle Meade Plantation here in Nashville, TN. Come on over for some summer wines provided by West Meade Liquors and some light hors d' oeuvres from 5:30pm. to 7:30 pm. I'm always excited to show here at Belle Meade. The people I work with there are a delight and a portion of all sales goes to the ongoing restoration and education projects at this most historic site. Considering Belle Meade's important place in thoroughbred breeding history here in the US, my equine centered paintings fit well there and I appreciate their support in showing my work now for the third year. This year there will be paintings inspired by the
steeplechase, the event of the Middle Tennessee Pony Club, Foxes,
wildlife and various related themes. The show runs through July 28th. After it opens...I'll start posting selected paintings on this blog so those of you who can't make it down to Nashville in the next two months can see the latest !
The painting shown here is called "Iroquois Rain Gear", an 8x10 oil. When I am shooting reference shots at the Iroquois Steeplechase, I force myself to occasionally turn from the gorgeous horses and stay on the lookout for some of the attendees in their spring finery. Last year it was a rainy, grey day ...but that never stops true steeplechase fans, they just don their boots and go along like the weather doesn't matter!
