Summer

Summer began the way the best work does — in the field, sketchbook in hand, capturing a rider and her horse at the farm in an unguarded moment of connection. What emerged from those sketches became something more ambitious: a new artistic challenge, blending Art Deco elegance with a distinctly Western sensibility, inspired by the rider’s show outfits and the quiet sophistication she brings to equestrian life.

The result is a painting that lives at the intersection of two worlds — the structured glamour of Art Deco and the sun-warmed ease of Western horsemanship. Bold lines and refined composition meet warmth and dust and the unhurried rhythm of a summer afternoon at the barn.

Summer was purchased by the rider herself — a fitting home for a portrait born from her world. The original is in a private collection and prints are not available.
