Once in a while I get to do a painting with a person as one of the subjects. Most of my commissions are of animals only and it’s a bit of a change when asked to bring a human into the picture.
This is a watercolour painting on Arches 140lb cold pressed paper.
My latest commission is of this lovely fellow Kingsley, a thoroughbred who is retired from the racetrack. He now has a good home and is doing well in dressage competitions.
The painting is done in watercolour on Arches 140lb cold pressed paper.
In keeping with the Olympics, I would like to post my (prismacolor) drawing of Big Ben.
He was an amazing horse and really put Canada on the equestrian map.
This is an example of how a portrait can be made using multiple photographs instead of having all the subjects in the same photo. I’m constantly taking photos of horses (and dogs, cats, birds…) which I use for a portrait or future reference.
and here is the finished portrait…
This is my latest painting. I saw this chestnut at the Renfrew Fair a couple of years ago and was taken by his colour in the afternoon sun. I just had to paint him and have finally been able to find the time to do it!
