I spent weeks procrastinating over what to do next. Getting started is so hard. It's the commitment. Will all those hours pan out? This portrait is for me.
It's so much fun to think that my little "Oreo" painting has a new home in Queensland Australia! Though I've never physically traveled to Australia, now I can say a tiny part of me lives there. So cool!
Here's a punch of red to brighten up a winter day. Buy your Valentine a flower that never dies! I love this piece and its glorious texture. It was as much fun to paint as it is to look at. SHOP for more details.
Pueblo is a Strawberry Roan Appaloosa. This recently finished commission measures 14x18" and is painted with colored pencils on 4 ply mat board. The reference photos were taken by the client. Lighting and attitude were a challenge in this piece. I had to work closely with my client to develop an understanding of this horse, especially as I have never met her in person. The other challenge was photographing the art-something I need to take time out to learn properly!
This piece won Best in Show at the recent CPSA District Chapter 119 exhibition. It also won People's Choice. Sometimes I get it right.
"Who Rescued Whom?" wins Best of Show at the CPSA District Chapter 119 2012 Exhibition!
