Cloud's Encore 2014

The summer of 2014, Cloud lost his band, including Encore his yearling filly. Encore ended up with a band of young bachelors, which included Knight, who was four at the time. Knight has kept Encore and they have remained together. (As of this time, 1/2016).

"Painting the West and America's Wild Horses". Painting wild horses from life is the foundation for the work I do in the studio. I want to express the power, beauty and bonds that I see manifest in wild horses. The freedom, risk and challenge that is inherent in living wild in nature is reflected in my process of working from life. They are not solely paintings of horses, but reflected communication of their experience and our journey.
