I can't seem to recall the name of this one. I helped train this quarter horse and showed it in hunt seat classes a few times. This horse has bay coloring. Looking at the painting now, I could go darker around the muzzle. He had a bright expression in the reference photo and I was able to capture that. Thanks for following my progression of "Equine Challenge" week. Tomorrow's goal is to mat and frame a painting recently sold so it's ready to hand deliver to a Cincinnati customer. I plan to continue with my horses until I run out of horses to paint. At that point, I'm going to need more subjects......anyone own a horse? Thursday, September 30, 2010

Oh Sadami.....a dream come true to travel to Sydney for the sole purpose of painting. Let me know when the airlines are giving away trips to Australia! Thank you so much.

Your horses are so lively! They are wonderful subjects, and you are so talented in painting them! Ciao!
ReplyDeleteThank you Akwarelia and Cristina! I am really enjoying not only painting them, but re-living my experiences with them. I think my horse challenge will continue a bit longer.
