This is one of those pictures that works better in person than in a photograph. Even though most of the picture is covered, there is still a lot of detail to add. I want to enter this study into a show next week, so time is critical.

There is nothing more beautiful than a horse in his prime. This is my favorite subject to paint.

Here's today's progress. It doesn't seem like I've gotten that far. The details are more time consuming, and it's important to get a likeness. I plan on painting this one again on a much larger canvas.
I took this photo with my phone, the picture has less contrast in person. I will adjust that on the next post.

I started this commission today. I spent most of the day working on his butt. My late father would have made a few jokes about that.
This is one of those pictures where I look forward to getting back to it tomorrow!
