NEW SERIES OF PAINTINGS for 2013 from Willa Frayser Studio

"Abstract Horse VII"

 "Abstract Horse VI" 
SOLD to Carmel Rowley, Author, Toowoomba Australia

"Abstract Horse V"
"ABSTRACT HORSES"
Sometimes a great idea comes from being bored!  One evening when I didn't have anything to do, I decided to put a lot of paint on a canvas and play with it ~  through color and visualization, abstract horses began to appear!
Each painting has become an adventure in color and movement - playing with colors that blend and compliment each painting forms itself with energy and motion.  The paintings appear to have dimension as well, but the most interesting aspect are the "hidden eyes" which were purely accidental, but have  become the trademark of this new series!
With only 7 paintings so far in the series ranging from 8x8", to 14x18", two paintings have already SOLD!   Stay tuned for more to be added in the coming months!
