A PIECE OF MY EQUINE WALL ART IN THE 2019 MANE EVENT

Here is my piece of Equine Wall Art in 20x30" Canvas framed in a custom locally made frame ($600.00 value), that will be displayed at the Canadian Horse Defense Coalition booth (booth #906) at this week's Mane Event in Red Deer and drawn for a winner to take it home on Sunday, the final day of the show.

If you are planning on buying tickets for a chance to take this home, do keep in mind that the chosen winner does have to be present at the booth when the draw takes place on Sunday April 28 @ 4:00PM. I will be there to meet and congratulate the winner. Good luck. :)

EQUINE WALL ART HEADING WITH ME TO DUBAI

My piece of Equine Wall Art for Dubai is ready! What we have here is a 12x18" canvas framed (in a floater frame, black is indented two inches, canvas has black painted edges), all in an aluminum silver finish. Very light, very portable.

This is a stunning piece, I would love another of the exact same piece in 40x60" on my wall!

NEW SERVICE IN THE WORKS

One of my favorite things to do is educating others and coaching them with advice on any areas of uncertainty that they may have when it comes to photography and/or videography.

As my business continues to grow, one of my biggest works that I have in my plan is to dive more into the teaching and mentoring side - and by that I don't mean just one-on-one mentoring, but rather on the global side of delivery in the form of multimedia. But I am not there yet, as I first have to become a much better speaker before pursuing this and unfortunately this barrier is a pretty big one that I need to overcome so it's going to take time.

So I came across a question on Facebook earlier from an individual who was inquiring about which lens to buy for photographing animals in an animal shelter, and one of the lenses that she was considering is a 50mm f1.4 lens and she has X amount to spend.

Here is the reply I provided her with. I know that as a reader that my reply may be too technical for some, however, I feel that there are many valuable pointers to pull from it, that would be helpful to others who are either new to photography and are learning, or they mainly take pictures of animals (*cough cough* their horses) or even both.

INTRODUCING "SERIES"!

Here is my first SERIES in 20x30" canvas framed, housed in locally made, custom, elegant maple wood frames, containing two of my most celebrated images to date. Ever since announcing SERIES, I've been ask by many on what exactly I mean when I refer to a SERIES. 

SERIES are a component of my Equine Wall Art service. Each SERIES consists of two or three pieces of my Equine Wall Art that are of similar subjects, have identical composition and matching messages. Putting up a set of SERIES in any home offers some nice versatility.

For instance, one piece can go on each side of a fireplace or a dining room cabinet or a tall bookcase to have things flow nicely in that room. Or you can put both pieces right next to each other on one wall for more impact.

This was extremely difficult to decide on because my original plan was to have a third piece to go alongside these two pieces, which would have been one of Equine Dentistry. So that when you see one of my walls at a show or expo...you will see three pieces all next to each other - Groom, Farrier and Equine Dentist. Which that spells (to me at least). "Horse Care."

But I changed my mind and decided to go with just two pieces for this SERIES as the photo that I was going to use as the third piece just wasn't a great fit with these two. So in addition, I will put out a second SERIES in a smaller size. 

When SERIES are purchased, you will receive 10% OFF your second photo and 25% OFF your third photo (for those SERIES that have three pieces) if they are purchased together. All SERIES can be purchased in any standard size.

DONATION CONTRIBUTION TO LIVE AUCTION FOR LYME DISEASE

Here is my smallest offering for horse portraits - a 6x15" on canvas, real wood custom frame, that Paula Johnson and I donated last night in an auction raising money and awareness for their good friend who is battling Lyme disease.

Thank you Paula for letting me contribute with this donation and thank you Ryan Smith for your invitation to the event. Even though I was unable to stay for the live auction, I am glad to help out any way I can.

I would also like to congratulate Gord Marsh for taking this piece of Equine Wall Art home, I hope you enjoy it!

My third print (which is also a 6x15") will be shared shortly, it is of another wild horse stud!

INTRODUCING MY LARGEST EXCLUSIVE SIZE FOR HORSE PORTRAITS - 20X40"!

Here is my second print finished in it's largest exclusive size for horse portraits - 20x40" Paper Framed, double matte in black! The next one coming up is the smallest size for horse portraits - 6x15".

This picture is quite recent as I am sure many of you recognize it. It was taken last December on my first wild horse trip of that month, just west of Sundre, AB.

Also on another note, my international trip has been set and I will be announcing it this Friday!

AN ADDED BONUS TO MY EQUINE WALL ART SERVICE!

As many of you may already know, one thing that I love doing is giving back to people and in this case it would be to show my appreciation. So I am proud to say that gift vouchers have been added to my Equine Wall Art service.
