Neo News: Falling Into Art


We have a new addition to Neo Stable Studios: our mascot, Tebow!

Melissa's toy poodle puppy often comes into our studio. He's a cutey, barking while his mouth is stuffed with his favorite toy. Tebow has grown since this photo was taken, but a few weeks ago, he was small enough to fit into the pocket of my painting apron while I worked.
As the summer winds down, autumn returns and the weather cools off, the artists of Neo Stable Studios are back to work. The pasture that lies outside our stable is bright green thanks to the rain produced during Florida's hurricane season. Touches of gold creep into the landscape. Melissa's horses and those of boarders romp in the pasture. The lines, shapes and forms in and out of the studio provide constant inspiration. Forest From The Trees, below, is an example. I painted this piece on a canvas that Melissa was about to throw out: it bore one of her early equine paintings and had marvelous texture.
