Using Karen Broemmelsick's wonderful photographs as a reference I have painted these two pictures of a grey horse. I love the light streaming in and the colours it creates on the horses coat. Painting the horse from different angles really shows the lighting off 18" x 14" Oil on canvas, prints will be available from this website
I have a great love of painting horses so I thought I may do a series of thoroughbreds painted in oils all different colours but on a similar basic background so the focus is on the horse. I paint in layers building up the colour and depth until I am happy with it, if you look at the the two images below you can see the progress in the second painting. I will paint a third and maybe fourth layer...
I have just finished my latest commission, I have a great love of painting horses so I was very pleased to take this on, I am rather pleased with the result and most importantly so is my client, just in time for Christmas too. Oil on Canvas 24" x 30"
