Wow it’s been so much fun being a part of the Crescent Farm Cup, a virtual horse race fundraiser for HistoryCherokee.org. Together our group of 15 artists raised over $5000 for the center. It’s not over yet! I have an original Wild Spirits painting and the wooden horse, Ceru up for silent auction this weekend. I post my most frequent updates on Instagram (@lsjart), so stay tuned for more leading up to and during Derby Day.

That’s right you can take Ceru home! Visit the auction site online to place a bid or elbow your fellow humans out of the way in person during the silent auction. It ends the afternoon of May 4th

Watch the “Making of” video
I put together a short (under 4 minute) video showing how I prepared and painted Ceru the horse. If you’re looking for the satisfying joy of watching paint being applied in multiple colors, this is the video for you.
Commission your own horse
Looking for a horse of a different color to make your own? Or you really wish you had a blue and gold horse? I do custom commissions of all sizes.
