Drawings and Paintings

by Cherie Roshau

These are only a few of my drawings and paintings. I enjoy challenging myself with a variety of textures. Creating the illusion of leather inserted into the buckle and embellishing the various positions of leather in the bridle is an obsessive enjoyment for me. I paint most animals, but have discovered that my knowledge and environment have enabled me to study the horse and bison from life'

"Duke, Snip, Tom and Ted"
Acrylic Painting
Private collection of Cherie & Ken Roshau

I am excited to announce that my acrylic 24” x 48” painting is finished. The title, “Duke, Snip, Tom & Ted” portrays the team of Percherons owned Dave Hayden from Baker, Mt and Jaylyn Klauzer. They were purchased by Dave Hayden. Dave has worked with these four Percheron’s since bringing them home when they were young. Dave Hayden and Jalyn Klauzer were awarded ’Teamsters of the Year 2022’ in Deadwood at the ‘Days of 76’ whose parade have been in for many years. This painting was created from my photo from the Days of 76 in Deadwood last summer. This is a tribute to all our forefathers who depended on these majestic animals for transportation, construction and agricultural needs of the nation. Though the painting took me three months to complete, I enjoyed the process and study of the horses as well as their harness. There will be a VERY limited number of fine art giclée's available for purchase very soon. No more than 50 will be printed at this time by the well known art and photography printer, Jafe Parsons.
