Commissioned paintings are a true honor to paint. They are also a challenge that makes me look at the particular animal being painted. If it is a horse named, Charlie, like the one in this painting, it has to look like Charlie. It is a fabulous challenge. I have more to do to make Charlie come alive on the canvas but the painting is nearing completion. I just sent the photo to Charlie's owner so we will see what she thinks of the portrait of her very special horse friend. Painting Charlie made for "A Painting Day".

It's stunning, Ruth! Really great job. The eye is incredible!
Charlie is beautiful and I hope they love him. You have a wonderful way of capturing the spirit of the animal.
Charlie is fabulous. You are the best!
Charlie is beautiful!
Ruth, Charlie is beautiful and I don't know how you could make him look more alive. I expect him to whinny, toss his head and move off the canvas!
looks great!
This is truly beautiful! I'm sure Charlie's owner will love this painting. He is so alert, just as if he sees the owner coming. I was fascinated to see the little sketch on the yellow slip of paper. Is that your reference? Wow.
