Ilse is one of 6 portraits I have painted for the owners of Bloomfield Farm. She is a very large Belgian Mare.

The farm is a restored cattle ranch located in the very small town of Bloomfield, Sonoma County. This painting project is one I have thoroughly enjoyed and feel honored to be a part of the project. The farm is gorgeous and the horses lovingly cared for. One horse, (Sunny) is 28 years old and belonged to one of the owners since he was a boy. Happily, we were able to paint him when he was very ill, thinking we would lose him, but he has decided to take-in another few springs. A trainor works with me when I am photographing so I am able to get wonderful shots, and lots of them. Paintings of the Bloomfield horse family is an example of commissioned work that worked out very well.
