Artists' Comments




Late winter along the South Platte River just north of Deckers,
Colorado is a great place to paint. The area is fairly protected from
the coldest winter wind and when the sun is shining, it gets warm
enough to stand and paint. I love painting rivers and streams. I love
the sound of the rushing water and the challenge of trying to capture
the essence of the place. The snow and ice build-up along the banks
made this painting interesting. Just a mile or so down the river I saw
several intrepid fishermen trying their luck out in the shallows.

My dear friend Carol Santora

  _____  

I'd like to introduce you to my friend Carol Santora. Over the last 20
years, I've met and developed friendships with some fantastic people
who happen to be exceptional artists.

Several years ago I was at the Susan K. Black Foundation Artists
Workshop in Wyoming when I first met Carol. Within minutes we were
talking and laughing. Carol has a big vibrant, bubbly personality. I
liked her immediately. We became friends. She returned to the SKB
several times and each time we renewed our friendship. Eventually, she
brought along her husband Dave. Dave and I hit it off right away. I
discovered that Dave is a 'car guy', a 'gear head'. He loves to fix up
and restore cars. His passion is contagious. Although I haven't seen
them at the SKB in a few years, I think of them often. It's funny how
sometimes if you are lucky, friendships blossom.

So as I launch this new feature in my newsletters, I'll be introducing
you to some of my artist friends. I hope that you connect with them too.

Below is an example of Carol's work and a little bit about her.

Feel free to visit her website or contact her. She would enjoy hearing
from you.

Artist's Comments about 'Flight'




There is nothing more beautiful to me than a running horse - a horse in
'Flight'. This painting is one of my 'Black and White' series. Hair in
the wind, proud, strong posture, muscles tense, dirt flying, all four
feet off the ground… This painting was inspired by the Mustang, Star
I worked with for 3 years at the mustang rescue here in Maine. Before
we did our groundwork session I would bring her out and let her run
with one of the other horses. It bonded their relationship as well as
let them get rid of some pent up energy. They would run and brake and
change directions. It was like they were flying.










Carol's Artists' Statement




"I share a deep emotional attachment and personal connection with
horses, and they are my endless inspiration for my paintings.

My art combines abstract and realistic elements, filtering out
superfluous details and portraying horses in their clear essence -
their spirits and souls, their energy, movement, and physical presence.

Retaining a sense of experimentation my process evolves, focusing on a
particular way color and application of paint reveal my desired outcome.

The horse's image emerges, allowing the viewer room for personal
interpretation. By reducing my subjects to their most essential
elements, I say everything I need to say about the horse and have
rendered what has truly impassioned me."

I paint the mountains I'd love to climb. 

I paint the lakes and creeks that have always beckoned to me. 

I paint the hills and the sun-drenched meadows that comfort me. I paint
the peaceful, private places, the places where I need to roam. 

I paint the places God created, the places I dream of.
