Above is the Bay/Family painting:
Today I completed the painting called Bay/Family. It has a bay mare with her new foal on the left portion of the canvas. The stallion is at the right, looking with curiousity at the new addition to the stable. It turned out quite nice. I especially like the quizzical look in his eye. Much like any new father I think. I have based the background on my next one, the background was done by rolling on beige acrylic and water then pressing a crumpled cloth over it. The look is much like leather or suede. The new one I am starting on is a head study of the light brown mare, her foal is against her neck in safety zone, she has a bit of a sad look I think, dreaming of her days as a race horse. I will put a small scene at the track in the far background, lightly done in watercolor style. She is remembering the days gone by.
