<div style="text-align: left;">
There is something about a team of Clydesdales pulling a carrage that is a thrilling event. You can hear their hoofs clopping on the street, signaling their approach, that draws your attention to look their way. These handsome horses are frequently seen in large teams pulling brightly colored beer wagons showing their flashing hoof-action and coordinated strides. The characteristics which distinguish the Clydesdale are its long, fine leg feather, smooth body and light coloring. It appears in bay, brown, chestnut and roan; the color is accentuated by splashes of white which appear particularly on the face and lower legs. The face is broad and straight, and the neck is long and arched. Clydesdales generally stand 16 to 17 hands, and weigh 1700 to 1900 pounds. Although not the largest draft horse, the Clydesdale rivals other breeds in its distinguished appearance and action which is combined with an excellent ability to haul heavy loads. </div>

The Clydesdale is a gentle giant, docile and reliable, with a strength and resistance that still don’t dethrone its beauty. Energetic and sociable, the Clydesdale needs however lots of encouragement to get things going. <br />
<br />
The proud head and broad forehead give the Clydesdale a dignified look. The body is slightly short, but the legs are long. The most recognizable feature in the Clydesdale is probably his feathered legs that are a great protection from the harsh Scotland weather. <br />

It was not necessary for Scent Hounds to be as fast and agile as Sighthounds - they do not need to keep their quarry in sight. Scent hounds as Hunting Dogs are built for endurance. They can follow a scent for long distances and even across running water. Scent Hounds have distinctive characteristics, features and traits which are perfect for their purpose as Hunting Dogs. They have large noses which have deep, open nostrils and their lips are loose and moist, designed to pick up scent particles and follow the trail of an animal. Their ears are long which concentrates the scent on the nose. Their bodies are designed for endurance, an essential asset when following any scent trail - a major asset for one of the Hunting Dogs.</div><br /><div>6x8 oil on canvas board. $100</div>Suzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07152701313609076998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535917839019133105.post-58302371930955119382012-02-04T10:53:00.000-08:002012-02-04T11:10:39.640-08:00Start of the Hunt<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeX8sVPgeR8dTkGxFWa9mF3HtjAoZZqbiUFpQq7Jx8NIp1NlzlOsYA8ztytf278h0fnPCwRKINnoO35Ll3KRiqg7bM_12wyBsns3wu19vYldB4QMfx1S9JjI5i7zO3dpdgr808OGnIq7g/s1600/fox+hunt+start_edited-1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 239px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705355770215478306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeX8sVPgeR8dTkGxFWa9mF3HtjAoZZqbiUFpQq7Jx8NIp1NlzlOsYA8ztytf278h0fnPCwRKINnoO35Ll3KRiqg7bM_12wyBsns3wu19vYldB4QMfx1S9JjI5i7zO3dpdgr808OGnIq7g/s320/fox+hunt+start_edited-1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>This is the part of fox hunting that catches my artist eye.

And few of Fox Hunting's traditions are as revered as the Blessing of the Hounds.<br />According to lore, the Blessing of the Hounds dates back to the seventh or eighth century, when Saint Hubert [Hubert of Liege (656-727)] apparently a bit of a rascal, and devoted hunter, had a spiritual awakening on the morning of a hunt. As a result of this experience, he dedicated his life to God and the Church and the Blessing of the Hounds became part of the tradition of the Hunt. </div><br /><div>8x10 oil on canvas board $175</div>Suzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07152701313609076998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535917839019133105.post-88659669646742589702012-01-26T16:12:00.000-08:002012-01-26T16:52:43.999-08:00Hay Stack<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYzzDqHmDJjZVCanrC8WIkjoAxCIJHmBywJrfL_llEpQfD_Vdc52p5NNAGCnmICQFZl52yV1ZtoDv4GVvx0PtG4kMGXVqSY9AvH-7bYt26d7fvYxyxGZhGIzdhrSdkOeJquIcvZxt0ZwA/s1600/hay+stack_edited-1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 317px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702104430917371522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYzzDqHmDJjZVCanrC8WIkjoAxCIJHmBywJrfL_llEpQfD_Vdc52p5NNAGCnmICQFZl52yV1ZtoDv4GVvx0PtG4kMGXVqSY9AvH-7bYt26d7fvYxyxGZhGIzdhrSdkOeJquIcvZxt0ZwA/s320/hay+stack_edited-1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>This is a painting I did on a new support for me.

I bought it out of curosity from a near by art store and selected a small image to paint on it. I like it and would buy another one.

Balls Used: Set of Snooker balls: fifteen object balls that are not numbered and are solid red (called reds), six object balls of other colors that are not numbered (called colors) and a cue ball (called the white ball). Point values for object balls: red-1, yellow-2, green-3, brown-4, blue-5, pink-6, black-7. I find pool difficult enough to play but I think this game would be impossible. If I had to bet on this particular game, I would bet on this young man.</div><br /><div>6x8 oil on canvas board $175</div>Suzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07152701313609076998noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535917839019133105.post-67857876169059010342011-10-23T11:23:00.000-07:002011-10-23T11:43:41.855-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7lPp63ZrfyqvWZDgtGU7i-dwdgCuFR6NXKsBmEiCc84vgfbldBSBcbm63vc1q-7-CSVRcAUowzIzy7TA58CNvt2hbHyTBfn80uvzqlYM6e0pHj5asNculRQaFZA61KoJ82NgKHKKEcA/s1600/Cord_edited-1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666756794934357682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7lPp63ZrfyqvWZDgtGU7i-dwdgCuFR6NXKsBmEiCc84vgfbldBSBcbm63vc1q-7-CSVRcAUowzIzy7TA58CNvt2hbHyTBfn80uvzqlYM6e0pHj5asNculRQaFZA61KoJ82NgKHKKEcA/s320/Cord_edited-1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Cord was the brand name of a United States automobile manufactured by the Auburn Automobile Company from 1929 through 1932 and again in 1936 and 1937.<br />The Cord Corporation was founded and run by E.L. Cord as a holding company for his many transportation interests, including Auburn. The Cord was noted for its innovative technology and streamlined design. I loved going with my Father to classic car meets on the weekend and this was a car I loved looking at at every show. </div><br /><div>6x8 oil on canvas board $175</div>Suzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07152701313609076998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535917839019133105.post-52552477735091215072011-10-23T11:15:00.000-07:002011-10-23T11:23:02.217-07:00Red House<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvMFvQg39hGU8608QXmMTxWj6b1u1Dca9_wVkFr64dgYL9gzC8gW_RW2NIvRMT7cVGsuo8UFuCv_TYcbQoijEcFX6Xoxg4yrEXxZhjhIC6U6HiZWTbit0Otll1BPDygort9BWmZo8iK3A/s1600/red+house_edited-1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666753699244091762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvMFvQg39hGU8608QXmMTxWj6b1u1Dca9_wVkFr64dgYL9gzC8gW_RW2NIvRMT7cVGsuo8UFuCv_TYcbQoijEcFX6Xoxg4yrEXxZhjhIC6U6HiZWTbit0Otll1BPDygort9BWmZo8iK3A/s320/red+house_edited-1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Since we have no snow here in San Diego, this painting was done from a photo reference.
