a bit of an experiment that turned out quite nicely, haven't painted horses in a little while!
my ref was a gorgeous photo of ~the-other1's Friesian mare Minke, and her new filly. [link] (Thanks so much for letting me paint them!) I just adored the photo and it needed to be painted... even tho I am trying to concentrate on birds at the moment.
oils on 10x14" canvas paper.
Can't think of an appropriate and non-cheesy title, so I chose a song that I love at the moment instead.
Stunning. I've seen this before but it just gets better every time. The black against the green is really nice, but that cute little foal steals the show for me! This really expresses such tenderness. <333
Aw thank you so much. I'm fond of this one too, going to do another using the same technique (when I find the time!) Also helps that I had such a beautiful sweet photo to reference from!!
