The 45th Kentucky Watercolor Society Annual Exhibition “Aqueous USA 2022” is both beautiful and diverse. The walls of the Headley-Whitney Museum are graced with the very best watercolor paintings from across the United States. Each of the paintings tells a different story by engaging the viewer through creative expression.
Horse Mania 2022
HorseMania,
Its all over downtown Lexington!
When LexArts made the call for submissions, I entered three designs. I was delighted when “Symbol of Freedom" was selected by my sponsor, Mt. Brilliant Farm. The horse was delivered May first allowing me five weeks for completion. My living room furniture had not arrived so that space was a perfect studio to paint the horse. More than 160 horses and foals will be on display at various locations throughout the city until December. Then they will go on the auction block at Keeneland.
Please, go out and enjoy this beautiful public art display.
