It's so much fun to think that my little "Oreo" painting has a new home in Queensland Australia! Though I've never physically traveled to Australia, now I can say a tiny part of me lives there. So cool!
Pueblo
Pueblo is a Strawberry Roan Appaloosa. This recently finished commission measures 14x18" and is painted with colored pencils on 4 ply mat board. The reference photos were taken by the client. Lighting and attitude were a challenge in this piece. I had to work closely with my client to develop an understanding of this horse, especially as I have never met her in person. The other challenge was photographing the art-something I need to take time out to learn properly!
