New Paintings on the way
May 23, 2008On top of working on the project ‘Le Cadeau Du Cheval’ for Spruce Meadows which you can read about on my studio blog here, I have been working on three new paintings. This one is of Canadian Pacific, one of Travis Hall’s beautiful babies by their handsome Dutch Warmblood stallion Pacific Star STV.
One thing I love about Star, aside from his wonderful temperament and athletic ability, is that he usually seems to throw alot of ‘bling’ in his babies. Canadian Pacific is no exception and he makes for a great subject for a painting.
This painting is in its early stages, posted here is the underpainting and then with the background blocked in.
This is truly an amazing painting, I know this colt personally and you have captured not only his likeness but his spirit. Amazing. Great Horses and Great people.
Thank you Gale! the folks at Travis Hall are truly great, they exude a proudness when talking about and sharing their horses. They are an inspiration to my series….And the horses they have happen to be gorgeous too!!
Hey, I like your work!!
thanks Ellen! I am fairly new to oils, but I love it so much, the possibilities are endless!
