Jennifer’s Pony

I used to have a close friend and one of the things we had in common was our love of horses. Over time we lost touch. Life has a habit of doing that.

However I still have photos taken back in our day. This portrait is from one I intended on using as a reference for a painting. I changed it a little, making the halter red instead of the original blue in the photo.

I hope she still has some connection to horses as I do with my art.  But then most of us never really outgrow horses do we?

Watercolour painting on Arches 140 lb cold pressed paper.

    Wow, I love the way that you captured her attentive pose, as if she had just raised her head at a sound or smell!

    Lori this portrait is stunning! You are so gifted!
    I would still love for you to be able to do a portrait of Phoebe or Be as I call her.
    I don’t know if you knew but we lost Willy March 28th he went to the Rainbow Bridge the portrait you painted of Willy and Cricket hangs in our living room and warms my heart when I look at it. Thank you Lori. Please let me know if you would be interested in doing a portrait of Be. Take care!

      hello Gail, I’m sorry about Willy. I’m glad I was able to do their portrait and that it brings you comfort. Yes I would love to do “Be’s” portrait.

    Lori – as already mentioned how gifted you are – your painting is so life like. I would welcome you to show me the final on the cold press paper before framing. Thanks
