FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE
Kelly Adair, 27, of Hewitt, New Jersey, won the Artwork, 18 and
over division with her stunning pencil drawing “Looking Out.”
“My artwork really comes from within me and I take hundreds of
pictures in search of that perfect picture to draw. One summer
afternoon after my ride I noticed how the evening light was
catching my horse’s eye and I managed to capture a single
perfect moment among 100 or so photos. Then, I drew it. As the
winner, Kelly won a Two Socks Design Saddle Pad featuring the
Sidelines logo.
Felicia Cawley, of
Sackets Harbor, New
York, submitted a pastel
of her daughter’s pony
Mr. Apple. “He is a
delightful nosey, fresh,
naughty little chap; but he
does take extremely good
care of her. Although I do
mostly traditional animal
and people portraits, I
fnd delight in painting
unusual angles that keep
me laughing.”
Laura J. Smith, of
Kenosha, Wisconsin,
submitted a drawing she
did from a photo called
“Youth & Experience.”
“I went to the Kenosha
County Fair and took
photos of the 4-H horse
show. Of the photos I took
there was one I loved the
most. The horse walking
confdently in step with the
young girl leading her.”
Elodie Huguet, of
Athens, Georgia,
submitted her 30” x
40” Oil on Canvas.
“This is a painting
of my mare Holly
that I compete in
dressage. As a
veterinary student,
Holly helps me
cope with the
intensity of vet
school.”
M. Theresa Brown, of
Franklinton, North Carolina,
captures the beauty of the horse
in its simplicity. This is a large,
power packed 24” x 36” mixed
media piece.

Maria Reichert, of Maria’s
Watercolor in Columbus,
Ohio, started her career as
a veterinarian and turned

walking in artists shoes. I

painting and share with those
who want to see.”
Darlene Ivey, of
Loxahatchee,
Florida, painted this
great piece called “A
yummy snack” and
said, “It’s one of my
favorites. I wanted
to do a painting that
every horse lover
could relate to.”
