I was inspired here by the movement of the horse and the morning light. This is one of those subjects I'd like to work with on a bit larger painting! I have been trying out a different brand of brush to see what it's like--a Princeton synthetic "mongoose", kind of like Windsor/Newton's. It works so beautifully! I love the brights. They are a bit spendy! Sure seems true, though, that you get what you pay for!

"No. 1215" (sold)



6"x6"
Oil on Gessoboard

This little girl was talking to her horse before they went into their round of competition. It's inspiring to watch the youngsters do this--they are so focused and try so hard. Too, the sport is one of precision and attention to detail--reminds me of watching a ballet.
