The painting of the Holstein family is for a good friend. She is giving it as a gift for Christmas to a small boy. It is half finished at this point. I have painted a similar rainy day scene but made it much greyer as the person who it was for was an adult, but I thought that for a young boy the rainy day should still be a bit cheery so am going to ask my friend what she thinks of a bluer palette for the rain and water. The painting of the horse is something I am currently experimenting with. It is a thin plaster technique that can be used this way around an image or possibly as a swatch of texture beside an image. I am going to do a few different ways. This one I am especially pleased with as I love that mare, she has figured in a few of my paintings thus far. She is a darling with a very lovely face. I still have some touching up to do on the horse painting before it is complete but just small bits.
