lice McWaters played with models as a child but didn’t get “into” models until November 2001 when Alice decided to paint models of the many wonderful horses she’s owned or worked with. That led to being introduced to Chris Nandell, who taught her to paint models with oils. She already had experience painting on flat surfaces, but the models present rather different challenges… ones which she enjoys. She now paints horses other than those she’s personally known. Alice has had experience with a variety of types of horses and researches breeds before portraying them. She also occasionally creates fantasy horses.
Because she has "another" active life, Alice doesn't show much, once or twice a year. Still about 90% of her shown models have NAN'd. Some have won their divisions & been champions. Alice & husband Gary have dogs, cats, & goldfish, & raise mules on a ranch in eastern Oklahoma.
Unless otherwise mentioned, all horses in the gallery are owned and photographed by Alice.
