This is Dixie, a Hanoverian weanling filly. The painting was a commission that I painted awhile back and the due date was just before Valentine's Day. The painting was to be a sweetheart gift. I had only a couple of weeks to paint this very sleek and elegant young horse to meet the deadline. Dixie has a strong personality and I wanted to show her beauty and her strength. My client was very happy and the sweetheart was happy as well. Painting for love made for, "A Painting Day."

Very beautiful portrait, is he a thoroughbed?
Nice composition and lighting on this cute filly. Great job on the highlights of her coat.
Marias, I just added to the post that Dixie is an Hanoverian weanling. She is bred for Dressage showing. So happy you like her portrait. She is a beauty.
The owners of this painting are very lucky. She is very sleak looking. Lovely.
A very strong and powerful painting. You handled it beautifully.
OOOOO! How elegant, Ruth. So proud.
Très agréable moment passé en votre compagnie à travers vos oeuvres... je reviendrai vous voir. Vos animaux me séduisent... Bises
Bises, merci pour votre charmante commentaire. Il est agréable de vous entendre et tellement content que vous aimez la peinture, Dixie.
Thank-you Theresa, Becky, Jean and Katie for your comments. Dixie was a challenge but so fun to paint.
Wow! Ruth...you did a great job with Dixie. What a shine she has! Like you said..she's sleek and elegant! Well done.
I love the neck ripples, and the way they catch the light!
