a Billings, acrylic: “Orange Horse”

Description

Alice Billings is the Horselady. Meeting her, talking with her, you sense this immediately. It’s not the scruffy hat, or the manure-bottomed boots, or even the bits of hay in her hair. It’s the look in her eye when she talks about her beloved horses. Then you look at her art and there is no doubt, all that emotion and feeling, color and line, just leaps from the canvas and captures your heart. As it surely has captured hers. Her work is joyous, vibrant, alive. It’s interactive. Makes you want to throw out your arms and just plain, hug a horse!.

Which is what she does when riding or working with them.  And that’s the love she portrays in every painting and drawing.  When this woman paints a horse, it’s not just a presentation of paint on canvas. What appears or her canvas is a window to the animal’s personality and emotions.  Visit her websites to learn more: Alice Billings, the Horselady.  Thunderheart Haven, her ranch, where she teaches art and equine lessons.
