I have never painted a horse before. Guess I've just never had the opportunity to photograph one. I think I enjoyed painting the grass as much as the horse. I tried to break the grass up into an interesting pattern, and was happy with the mosaic, patchwork look that emerged. My personal challenge is to always try to keep my brush strokes as loose as possible. I have been working on a large commissioned piece that had to be rendered very tightly, so this was a welcome change of pace for this old mare now free to roam in new pastures.
Thanks for this fun challenge, Carol. You never cease to amaze me. : )
