Horse in Relief
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This acrylic painting uses reflective and metallic acrylic paints to create a shimmery surface. Through the use of scratching with found objects and scrubbing the damp surface with rough material, both literal and visual texture are also noticeable from a distance and close up.
The idea is one of a relief carving or image of a horse, vaguely emerging from the background.
Materials: Acrylic painting on heavy BFK Rives paper
Size: 7.5" X 14.5"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: $70
Labels: animals, horses, paintings

Colorful Horse
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This painting came about, oddly enough, as a way for me to use up the remaining paint on my palette.
I'm not one to skimp when I squeeze paint out on my palette, but I am one to despise waste.
I started mixing at random and, of course, the first thing I started to paint was a horse. Naturally.
My brother laughed at the painting when he saw me working on it. He said it was ugly, that it didn't look like a real horse and the colors were weird.
That made me like it all the more. This painting has lots of thick, brush-evident layers. It's one of my favorite paintings.
Materials: Acrylic paint on BFK Rives paper
Size: 22" X 15"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: $150
Labels: abstract, animals, horses, paintings

Chinese Horse
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
I have an obsession with horses, and I have a sub-obsession with Chinese horse sculptures.
I love their big, thick necks, the chiseled Roman-looking noses, the thick bodies and ballet-like legs.
I just love them.
Whenever people see my take on Chinese horses in my art, however, they either (if they are horse people) start pointing out how inaccurate I've depicted the fetlocks or the whithers and so on, completely missing the point. Or they aren't into horses at all and say something like "What's with the fat horse?"
Ah well.
I like them a lot, and this painting is one of my favorites. The sharp-edged colors, the thick oil paint, the linear work and the border colors finding their way into the actual horse itself. You'll appreciate the visual textures up close, the vibrant colors and brush work.
Really. You will.
Materials: Oil paint on Masonite panel
Size: About 19" X 15"
Other: Shipped framed in antique red frame, no glass
Price: SOLD
Labels: animals, horses, paintings, sold, whimsical

Thorn Horse
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
Originally, I had planned to do a long series that showed, step-by-step, a horse getting tanbled in thorns and briars slowly turning into some great winged beast and flying away. You can see how I was planning on using the linework in the ribs and the sectioned mane to eventually morph into this.
However, I didn't do more than this drawing. I have a lot of good intentions, unfortunately.
The original idea came to me during a year when the cockleburrs were particularly bad in our horse pasture and I was spending an innordinate amount of time picking the burrs out of the main and tails of the horses.
UPDATE: This drawing has sold. I do have the next drawing from the planned series available, although it is only partially finished. Contact me if you are interested.
Materials: Graphite on paper
Size:
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: SOLD
Labels: animals, drawings, horses

Misty
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
When I was a kid, my sister had a big, beautiful, white horse named Misty.
She looked great out in the pasture. Once you got on her back, though, she'd get ornery and fake a limp. Put her back in the pasture and she'd gallop off with nary a look back.
Pretty horse, though.
Materials: Acrylic paint on paper
Size: 5" X 8"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: SOLD

Go West
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
Using my beloved horse as a model, this drawing is a take on the old saying "Go west, young man."
I wanted to achieve a hazy sort of softness to the look, with the horse taking one last look before leaving. I drew this after my horse had died, and it was kind of my depiction of letting go.
Materials: Graphite on unbleached paper
Size: About 15" X 8"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: SOLD
Labels: drawings, horses, landscapes, sold

Fence Horse
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
Here again is the fence I mentioned in an earlier description.
This is a drawing of a very beloved horse of mine, the last horse I really consider my true horse.
This is truly one of my favorite paintings and I have priced it high because I don't know that I could bear to part with it for anything less.
It's based on a photo taken the year before my horse died.
Materials: Gesso, water crayon on BFK Rives paper
Size: About 22" X 30"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: $200
Labels: animals, horses, mixed media

Felipe
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This litho print has a number of elements thrown into it.
The fence in the background you'll see often in my work. It crops up in backgrounds and for a while during college, when this series was created, I found myself almost compulsively drawing it. The basis for this high wooden fence is the windbreak in the old horse pasture next to my house. I can't explain my fascination with it, although I'm sure you psychiatrists have your own theories.
The title to this print comes from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, one of my favorite movies. Again, I was fixated on that line for some reason, spoken by the father when he and his expressive horse are lost in the woods.
Other students and a teacher said they found this particular print disturbing, though I don't know that it was meant to be.
Materials: Lithography; part of a series of 10
Size: 11" X 14"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat; let me chose print number from series
Price: $40
Labels: animals, horses, prints

Egg Tempera Horse
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
"That doesn't look like any horse I've seen," horse aficionados will tell me.
No, that's because it's a painting and not a photograph.
What's fun about this image is not only the drawing itself, but the effect painting with watercolor and egg yolk have: a glorious, rich finish.
The nature of this updated version of the classic egg tempera method is one of transparency, gloss, multiple layers that affect the ones that follow, and a fresh, spontaneous feel.
Materials: Watercolor paint, egg yolk and charcoal on BFK Rives paper
Size: 7.5" X 11"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat
Price: SOLD
Labels: animals, horses, mixed media, sold

Here's one such image I've created with an emphasis on muscles and spots. Sounds like fun, right?
