Lifetime, self taught artist -Deb Risty

I have been drawing Arabians long before I even realized they were a specific breed. I found I was always attracted to their expressive beauty.

 

The Arabian Native Costume

BAYWATCH+/ is a U.S. National Top Five gorgeous Half-Arabian mare. When owner Mary Bowden decided she wanted me to capture BAYWATCH+/ I couldn't agree fast enough.

BAYWATCH+/ is now a mother herself and it won't be long now Mary says that I will be able to draw her 2004 bay colt "Eddie".

This is a pen & ink with Prismacolor added for a dramatic effect.

Awards, Trophies and Ribbons

For years I have worked with The Arabian Horse Society of South Dakota. Together we carefully designed the original artwork to work as a theme for the show. Not only would the artwork be on the cover of the premium book, but we would incorperate it into the ribbons, trophies and awards.

This pen & ink was used for the 2003 Spring Arabian Shows. If you look close you may have this artwork on one of your trophies in your own showcase.

Of course the artwork was always available on the T-Shirts at the show for keepsakes.

 

Not limited to just equine as my love for all animals is evident

This beautiful marked Boxer dog was owned by Debra Lawrence and after his death she has really cherished this piece in rememberance of her beloved friend.

MASTER is done in pencil for depth.

Wildlife, cats, reptiles, etc.

Everyone has such different pets anymore, most all my pets so far had hair. But I've found I enough feathered birds and even the colorful skin of an iquana.

This captivating Bobcat is owned by Linda Black and she was a wonderful model for my wildlife collection.

This is a pen & ink 11x16 tittled "Just Relaxing" prints are available for purchase either black and white or just as this one with the Prismacolor added.
