Animal Paintings ~ Capturing the spirit of animals in pastel

HomePortfolioGalleriesNewsAbout CarolContact


"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
Anatole France

Animals are my muse and the inspiration for my pastel paintings.
Animals complete me as a human being;
they make me a whole person.
My art is the statement of my life-long love
and passion for painting them.
Creating art of animals is what I was chosen to do.

My portfolio includes cows, dogs and horses.
Occasionally other farm animals and wildlife appear on my easel.
The latest addition to my repertoire is the mustang,
America's wild horse and icon.

Participating in a weekly workshop since July 2009
with additional visits at the Ever After Mustang Rescue,
I have not only been able to study the anatomy and movement
of these dynamic creatures,
I have created a trusting and lasting bond
through body language, touch and eye contact.
I know the mustang I work with, Reno, can see into my heart
and I know he understands me, and he lets me see into his soul and I understand him, without any words.
It is an awesome experience.
My newest work is dedicated to him.
