Moon Shadow

This is a revisit to a photo image that I have previously painted as a full portrait.  I wanted to see this gorgeous Mustang in a more contemporary cropped pose.  This is a small study but I am considering painting it in a larger format,  Not sure quite yet?  I will  let it sit  and see what would be fun to do?  Taking on a new look for this Mustang has made for "A Painting Day".

Cayenne a Memory Portrait

Cayenne was born on our farm in Missouri.  She had a hard delivery and from the moment she hit the ground she was into something and everything.  She was a nibbler, a follow-you-around type horse or what I call a people horse.  Her mother, Angel, is the head mare and Cayenne considered herself Head Princess.  We lost Cay a couple of years ago to colic.  We have missed Cay and I have wanted to paint her portrait for sometime but just was not ready to take on the challenge.  Yesterday I started the drawing and today the paint brushed on and as the portrait started to show Cay's personality and her features it was pure joy and sadness all in one.  Having Cayenne in my life has made for, "A Painting Day".
