Virginia’s Finest Equine Series

I have been working on a series of painting centered around horses in Virginia.  I titled the series, “Virginia’s Finest Equines”.  I’ve been working on this for almost a year.  Originally I had wanted to have a “real” exhibit of the paintings, in a “real” gallery.  In the economy of our times that did not seem to possible.  So I wanted to put on an online  show of the work I did.   Many of these paintings were done from people around the state who were generous enough to allow me to use photos of their horses.  Others were done from photos that I took of various horses around our state.  It has been a wonderful challenge.  I actually have two more paintings which are not on here now, which are not finished yet!  Most are done in oil, a few in pastels.  Many of the people wrote short stories about their horses.  I am enclosing these her also.  I will be posting these on my website also, elainehurst@mac.com.  There will be a short write-up going into The Virginia Horse Journal and Horse Talk. I hope you enjoy my work, and what others have written about their special equines.  Thank you all!
