| This is me - many years ago. I am blissed out, sitting on my first horse-love, Tuffy, aka "Semi-Tuff" or "I Am a Tuff One". Why a registered appy has so many names, I am not sure. It could be a double registry as an appaloosa and a quarter horse. |
 |
| I am using Tuffy's glorious coloring as a reference for the spots on the filly. This is another painting that, as I work on it, I am smiling. It's just so gosh-darn cute. As always, your comments are most welcome! |

| I've done an initial thin wash of quin. burnt orange for warmth. |
 |
| Here, I have done another thin wash, this time of quin. red. You might also barely be able to see that I have started the shadows on the horse. |
 |
| This photo was taken outside in bright sun. YES, we have SUN today. I have played with some cobalt blue in the background, and am slowly working on the horse. I am trying to avoid getting into a very dark background, as I did with the last gray I painted. I would like to somehow achieve a strong focus on the eye and upper head, but we shall see ... I am done with painting for the morning. Now it's off to Bruno-land, to clean up his paddock, and go for a short ride! As always, your comments are most welcome! |
