Horses and Art....a good mix.

I am honored to be included with so many talented "equine" artists who have been interviewed by "The Equinest".  There are many artists, photographers, and authors featured on The Equinest website. 
Check them all out and while your there, check out my interview at http://www.theequinest.com/gretchen-bjornson/.

A special thank you goes out to Paige for allowing this opportunity to showcase some of my horse paintings.

"Nuzzle"

"Nuzzle" is still a work in progress.  I'm slowly building the darker values without compromising the overall fluidity of the piece.  I'm at the stage where decisions are critical to the success of the piece.  The pony's back still needs more work.  The appaloosa is getting finer details with it's spots. 

This was a photo taken by Candy Cornell, a friend who kindly let me peruse the images she had of her horses.  I fell in love with this image.  Thanks Candy!
