Moonlight On The Plains



I have a project in the works and that is to paint Mustangs and tell a bit of their story for a coming book.  I will need a minimum of twenty Mustang paintings along with a few words to celebrate the life they live on the plains.  This painting, "Moonlight on the Plains" may need a day or two to dry and then I will take another look at it to see if it needs a highlight or two?  I also want to let folks know that follow me from the Daily Painter Originals group blog site that I will be leaving the group shortly.  Please bookmark my blog so I don't lose you and your support.  The Daily Painter Originals blog has a great group of artists and has been a wonderful showcase for my small works.  I feel it is time now to concentrate on my gallery and exhibit paintings and take just a bit of stress out of my painting schedule.  Painting Mustangs has made for, "A Painting Day".

I love how you have captured the glow of this white mustang's coat in the moonlight.
