I've done a lot of art shows and your work is top notch. Lovely symmetry and flow of the wood grain. What kind of wood do you work with?

I work with Australian hard-woods such as grey-gum and spotted-gum. I am about to try iron-bark. I also got a good timber supplier in the last week, I had been stalled for awhile because I couldn't get timber but am now very fortunate to have a good timber supplier on-board. The grain and colour in these timbers is top-notch, even compared to some European and American timbers. None of the work I posted is completely finished/sanded/buffed.

It is important to me because I never did well in many work environments, I tried my hardest but people were generally unkind. Apparently I am not a good liar (salesman) nor a good team-player (office politics/gossip). I also left uni when I realized I was being taught many lies.

Your artwork is an inspiration. What you must see in order to paint those horses, looking into His works for your own... captures more than a photo and I recognize that this is a blessing from Our God, it speaks to me as the voice of my kin, I do not see such work coming from the devils, and so it speaks to a man's heart. Thank-you for your kind words Kentucky and for courageously sharing your work with this Christian community. I would like to see more of your work ...do you have a website or do you sell mainly through art shows.
