KATHY HARDER DYNAMITE COMES IN SMALL PACKAGES

NANCY HARKINS LIGHT PLAY

15” x 30” — Watercolor $3,000

Before the rodeo starts the stock company lets the brood mares band out, with their foals, to show off to the audience--therefore Dynamite Comes In Small Packages. The viewer is witnessing the future bucking stars of the rodeo in those foals.

10.5” x 15” — Watercolor $1,200

The enchanting light of a Taos afternoon lit this scene at the Mabel Dodge Luhan house. I was excited to capture all the patterns of light and shadow across the adobe with veils of transparent color that is so characteristic of watercolor.

KATHY HARDER • WAOW Associate • CA • www.kathyharderstudios.com For 20 years, California artist Kathy Harder has been fulfilling her dream as a land steward on her mountain ranch in the old oak forests of California. With the stabilization of her homestead, she has found “a return to source” in her artwork, a reconnection with her materials and a “spirit journey” with the animals she documents. Her subject matter has come from her strong link to both the wonder and power of nature.
