Horses, Women & Art: July 2008

http://karriesteely.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Horses, Women and Art. Karrie Steely, equine artist. July 20, 2008. I've noticed myself swinging between extremes in the artwork I'm creating. This really should come as no surprise to me, since in all other aspects of my life I tend to do the same thing, and I seem to be a living dichotomy. Division into two mutually exclusive, opposed, or contradictory groups.). Clayboard and painted the basic shapes and colors over it with gouache, and then scratched away the highlights (much like black scratchboard)&...

Horses, Women & Art: Ruby & the Roan Mare

http://karriesteely.blogspot.com/2008/11/ruby-roan-mare.html

Horses, Women and Art. Karrie Steely, equine artist. November 18, 2008. Ruby and the Roan Mare. Riding back to the ranch after the drive, I saw tons of bones and skulls, which I love to collect. (I was only able to stuff one skull in each saddle bag, so I had to go back! I took tons of photos, which I'm beginning to use in my artwork. I did two small (5"x7") scratchboard pieces of Ruby (black horses are fun to do scratchboard of). The first is called "Back to Work", which is why she has such a wo...I&#82...

Horses, Women & Art: Transformed

http://karriesteely.blogspot.com/2008/10/transformed.html

Horses, Women and Art. Karrie Steely, equine artist. October 16, 2008. The name I gave the piece "Transformed" is about Luna becoming more than her 'label'. It kind of reflects the changes and transformations I've been going through, becoming something more than what is expected of me, revealing a depth that doesn't need to be recognized to be legitimate. It just is. I love reading about and seeing your work online. Your excitement and joy are really shining through! October 20, 2008 at 12:16 PM. After t...

Horses, Women & Art: Between Friends

http://karriesteely.blogspot.com/2008/11/between-friends.html

Horses, Women and Art. Karrie Steely, equine artist. November 26, 2008. While we were on the cattle drive in Gunnison, us ladies brought up the rear of the heard, chasing stragglers and pushing the tiring cows and calves forward. We had about 450 cattle in the herd, and they were stretched out over a mile on a dirt county road. We could barely see the front of the herd, where Shane and his collie were working. The painting itself is done in livestock marker (very appropriate! November 28, 2008 at 7:20 AM.

Horses, Women & Art: Splash and musings

http://karriesteely.blogspot.com/2008/11/splash-and-musings.html

Horses, Women and Art. Karrie Steely, equine artist. November 13, 2008. I promise I'll wear my helmet, Mom! This piece is scratchboard/gaouche, 10"x12". I've submitted it to the Old West Museum juried "Spirit of the West" show, along with "Something in Motion". Wish me luck! One thing I've noticed lately is that I've been very focused and on task. in the past when I've worked alone, I've had a really really hard time keeping myself focused, but the last few months have been realy easy for me to do so.

Horses, Women & Art: Something In Motion

http://karriesteely.blogspot.com/2008/11/something-in-motion.html

Horses, Women and Art. Karrie Steely, equine artist. November 03, 2008. Within a few days, I picked up a brochure about a wild horse sanctuary in South Dakota, opened it up, and there was a photo of a magpie on a horses back. A few days after that, I walked out of the goat barn at the farm and there was a magpie perched on the butt of a new pony who just moved in the previous day. Labels: Something in motion.
