I LOVE your brush technique in the background. I am going to have to spend some time studying it so I can incorporate such fun into my own work!

So much energy. I love how the horse's face comes forward in focus and the movement in the piece is exciting. Wonderful little painting

What an interesting challenge in this commission. I think you handled and expressed this well, Mara!

HI Garth! Thanks for your nice comment. I painted a companion piece to the painting above. This is my client's father in 1976. Same challenge as before: a blurry, tiny black and white photo. I thought I'd post it here to complete the set. These two rodeo stars were given the paintings as a gift for Christmas and I'm told were very joyous to receive them. Yay!
