The magazine will publish a one to two page spread on a living, contemporary artist. I have used the Equine Art Guild as my hunting ground to find the best artists out there to feature in each issue of the magazine from now until...? <br /><a href="http://ruralheritage.com">RURAL HERITAGE</a> is published every other month, or six times a year for you math scholars. I can't give away the articles here on the blog, you will need to find the magazine and read them (available at all Tractor Supply Stores) of course.<br />I would like to share that my first interview and choice for a draft artist is Cathy Choyce, <a href="http://www.artistichandstudio.com">http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif<a href="http://www.artistichandstudio.com"></a></a><br />Cathy was a delight to interview and was free with tips and techniques that as a wannabe sculpturer, I was delighted to discover. My choice was Choyce. That was NOT intentional!<br />Cathy was a horse trainer for 35 years and knows the look and attitude of horses, and it shows in her work. She has been drawn to the large breeds especially as a subject for her sculptures. Cathy also works in oil paint on canvas.<br />While you wait for the article to be published, either in the Spring or Summer issue, (no control over the editor) please stop by Cathy's site and take a look at her work.<br />For all you other drafty artists out there: I will be calling more artists and trying to get a good selection gathered for the upcoming issues. Given all the weird emails and requests we sometimes get as equine artists, I wanted you all to know this is a legitimate effort.bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16769913144930997567noreply@blogger.com
