Richard
DeSpain Prints |
|
|
Several
DeSpain prints were available at the Silent Auction held at the
2004 UA Horse Festival. The prints were a favorite among
the items available and each one took a good price. |
The
D.E. King Equine Program is grateful to Richard DeSpain for the
generous donation of his prints to benefit the program.
The prints available at the auction all had a western theme,
ranging from vintage cowboy scenes to a pair of worn
boots. DeSpain prints can be purchased online from his
website: www.DeSpainPrints.com.

Richard
DeSpain is a well-known artist in
Arkansas
and surrounding
states. DeSpain retired at the end of 2003 after
30-plus years from the
University
of
Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service
where he served as a draftsman and artist.

Richard’s
specialty is his ability to capture the finest detail in
his work. |
 |
Often
one will see a DeSpain print and think it is a photograph, until
closer inspection reveals hours upon hours of fine pen strokes
that form a finished work of black and white pen and ink.
The artist arms himself with hundreds of specialty pens
of varying tip thickness and hardness in order to create the
necessary detail in his work.
He may also reach for his special glasses that will
magnify his vision three to four times to assist in capturing
the finest detail.
A
resident of
North Little Rock
, Richard lives with his wife,
Gail, and their two sons, Paul and Noah.
According to Richard, his family “puts up” with his
passion for drawing, as there are always pieces of his work in
various stages of completion scattered about his art room (often
spilling over into the hall and den).
Richard’s favorite subjects are probably the Old Mill
and anything military. Pugh’s
Mill was built in
North Little Rock
about
1933 and was featured in Gone With the Wind.
Richard has drawn more renditions of the Old Mill than
any other image. Military
works are also a passion of Richard’s.
He not only enjoys the challenge of capturing the detail
of various military aircraft and service personnel, but he also
is pleased by the reaction of his enthusiastic and passionate
customers who purchase the military prints.

Looking
for Horse Families |
|
Cultural
Homestay International is a non-profit educational program
placing high school students from around the world for an
academic year in the USA. Many of these students desire to
be placed in a home where they can continue an already
established riding program. Right now I have seven
students from Germany, two from Belgium, and one from Italy, who
have a strong interest in riding. In fact, the German
students have been guaranteed placement with a family who has a
horse for them to ride. I am looking for families to host
these students.
I can be
