"Grazing Rights" This small painting captures a quiet, pastoral moment with a soft, impressionistic touch. The artist’s muse is the white horse grazing peacefully in a sunlit field, its head lowered into the grass. The surrounding landscape is rendered in loose, lively brushstrokes—vibrant greens and yellows suggest wild grasses, complementing the distant mountains. Lorie Batson Lorie Batson~ is a highly accomplished oil and pastel artist, celebrated for her ability to capture the spirit of the West. She is a member of the Plein Air Artists of New Mexico, a signature member of the Plein Air Artists of Colorado and a proud member of The Cowgirl Artists of America. Her work beautifully portrays outdoor scenes with rich authenticity and depth. “Grazing Rights” is mounted on rich, live-edge reclaimed barnwood finished in a deep cranberry walnut patina. The weathered tones and subtle crimson highlights draw out the natural hues of the painting, where a white horse grazes peacefully in an open pasture. Hand-set bronze tacks complete the piece, adding an authentic Western touch. Angela Camarillo ~ Flying Lead Designs I love working with Lorie Batson who is an amazing local artist of Westcliffe, Co. Together we create beautiful, art work and bring our creative visions together. Being able to frame Lorie's artwork and add my own creative touch has been such an amazing experience. Together, we’re not just creating beautiful pieces—we’re blending our styles and the spirit of our Westcliffe community. Flying Lead Designs~ in the workshop, I’ve been crafting unique, one-of-a-kind frames that elevate each piece of art. My passion for repurposing and sustainability leads me on adventures and hunting for vintage treasures, gathering Western belts, belt buckles, conchos, cowhide and barn wood —all of which come together in distinctive, handcrafted frames. These designs merge Western charm, craftsmanship, and eco-conscious creativity. Angela Camarillo ~ Flying Lead Designs
