Le Cadeau du Cheval, The Horse Gift, Las Vegas!

The Horse Gift will be coming to the Cowboy Christmas show at the National Finals Rodeo in December. It will be displayed from December 4th to December 13th, 2008. I can't wait to see the mural in person!


AND.........On December 6th and 7th, William Shatner is scheduled to be at the display signing prints of the mural! His likeness is on one of the panels of the mural. It will be so great to meet him, have pics taken with him under the mural, and have him sign my personal copy!!!!!

If you are in Las Vegas during this time, be sure to stop by and see just how big the mural is!

Calico Western Art Show, Calico Art Gallery

Just returned from a very successful weekend at Calico Ghost Town. During the venue, the promoters had an art show and my Panic was entered into Acrylics. It won! And it also won the People's Choice! I am so very excited. The awards are really great tile-on-wood plaques and will have a place of honor in my home.

The Calico Art Gallery also asked to be able to represent me in their gallery and have taken 5 paintings and prints to display. The paintings they have are: Panic, Getting Ready, Desert Canaries, Naptime, and Reassurance. These can be seen on this page on my site.... http://www.sues-art.com/calico.html

I am also finishing up another 'Boots and Spurs' painting and a mustang wearily walking in a high wind. These will be finished and available in a few days.

Storm Horses: "Panic"

This is my newest painting, acrylic, 14x24 on Hardboard. Something has spooked the horses, ....the wind is blowing, the dust swirling....., and they are running for their lives. This painting is for sale on my site http://www.sues-art.com

This is number 2 in my Storm Horses series. The first one was finished and sold to a friend several years ago. I love horses running during a storm and will probably do more within this series.

New Painting, Western Series

This is my newest finished painting. It is called Dustbath, 11x14, acrylics on HardBoard. A mustang has decided he needs a bath to rid himself of the itchies.

Other paintings I am working on are Desert Burros, two wild burros in the Nevadan wilderness. Another on my easel is of burros again in the same barren landscape. How the real wild burros are able to eke out an existance is beyond me, they have my admiration.

Dustbath is available for sale now, original and prints, and the burro paintings will be available within a few days.
