Our luxuriously soft beach towels are made from brushed microfiber with a 100% cotton back for extra absorption. The top of the towel has the image printed on it, and the back is white cotton. Our beach towels are available in two different sizes: beach towel (32" x 64") and beach sheet (37" x 74").
Don't let the fancy name confuse you... a beach sheet is just a large beach towel.

Here is one of my most favorite watercolors. I met this little girl while on vacation and she caught all of our eyes. I wanted to make the focal point totally my young subject and not her AND the horse. I wanted to convey her combination of fear and thrill at the same time, all while acting cool and grownup. You could tell her parents were spoiling her (in a good way) and had her dressed long before this ride. I have to admit, this wasn't a pony by any means and have to give her credit for her bravery. She stuck to it and we had issues coming to the end of a beautiful trail ride at the base of some of the most beautiful mountains in Arizona.
During the completion of this painting, I had imagined several different backgrounds but finally decided on keeping it simple with just a faint greenish background. In the original photograph it was cactus and weeds but I thought it may clutter the whole composition. I'm glad I left the little girl the focal point.
I was born and raised in southern Wisconsin where I developed a tremendous passion for nature and art. I currently reside in the Naperville, Illinois area and am President of the Plainfield, Illinois Art League and also a member of the Institute of Equine Artists. I recently achieved a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree with a Major in Illustration and emphasis in Scientific Illustration through Northern Illinois University. Previous to completion of this degree, I had obtained an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design through the Milwaukee Area Technical College. My career initially started with commercial and graphic design and eventually progressed to concentrating full time on fine art. It is clear for most...

Just to add those trail horses generally have issues when they see the trail that leads home! I for one as a child experienced such a moment. The horse used every trick in the book to loose the rider, which was me until the very end! I won the challenge, to this day I still consider it one of the bravest moments in my life. Have not ridden a horse sense, still love them though!
