Kerry Originals

Hi! Please see my new blog at

See my latest projects, news, and art listings on ebay and etsy!

The ultimate high-stepping, extream-action equine machine, the Hackney Horse is one of the oldest breeds.  Developed in England hundreds of years ago as a durable, versatile and elegant coach and riding horse, the Hackney has influenced many of the modern American breeds of horses such as the standardbreds, morgans, american saddle horses and many more.  Once a very popular and widespread breed, today the Hackney Horse is quite rare and considered an endagered breed.

In these close-up images, the woodgrain (vertical lining) of the birch panel shows very clearly, however, it is not this apparent in the physical painting.  I sand the panels very smooth before I gesso them, and, they are also sanded again before they are ready to paint on, so, in fact these panels have very smooth surfaces except for the texture of the applied oil paint.  The woodgrain is still visible and adds a subtle quality to the finished artwork, however, for some reason, the scanner and the camara always seem to emphasis the woodgrain, so, I just want you to know it is much more subtle than these photos show. 

This is my second painting of a dog from the WetCanvas art forums 'Dog Breed Project', a cute red and white Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I composed this picture from several images provided by Cathy Sheeter for use in the project. This is a 4x6 inch oil painting on multimedia art board.

This is a new art card of a lovely tranquil country scene. I photograped this barn near where I live here in north Texas and added the grazing appaloosa. I really like the way the barn was nestled among the big oaks and how the bright field beyond showed through the shady spot around the barn.

 "Appy & Barn" 2.5"x3.5" oil

These two year old appaloosa colts were best buddies and had to be together all the time.  This is a 4x6 oil, "Appy Colts".

OMG!  I painted a dog! 

OK, I don't guess the world will end if a confirmed horse painter does something differant once n awhile...or will it?

"Pug" 4x6" oil

This black arabian stallion is playing with a desert dust devil, running for the sheer glory of speed! 

"Racing the Wind" 4"x6" oil

These three paintings are the result of researching the Bashkir Curley horse for an equine art project on WetCanvas.com.  After looking a many breeders sites and breed organizations profiles, I sat down and painted this ACEO and two OSWOA oil paintings. 

"Bay Bashkir Curley" 2.5"x3.5"

"Curley Colt" 4"x6"

"Pintaloosa Curley Horse" 4"x6"

Here's a glorious young arabian horse prancing and wanting to play!  This is a 4x6" oil painting called "Feisty Colt". 

    I will be opening a new ecommerce webstore with Auctiva Commerce at the end of January! It will feature all my original art for sale including the small format work I routinely sell on ebay, and the larger work I normally sell locally and at art festivals. I will be offering commissions, and also, I will be offering many limited edition and open edition reproductions, and gift items printed with my artwork. Please watch for my Grand Opening at;
