I did five small studies of these two horses. I wanted a chance to spend some time with them before I do the main painting. These small quick studies provide me an opportunity to look at color and value relationships as well as getting to know the horse's characteristics. The final composition will have both horses in the same painting. I look forward to working on that!

Karen,
You certainly know horses! I especially love the freshness of the last one, almost a portrait, beautifully seen. I look forward to the finished painting you construct from the studies.
Thanks Michele and Melody! Inspiration is the conception of every painting, and I am inspired by the beauty of horses.Show horse or companion horse, I love them all.

That last one is the spitting image of my first horse Brego. Wow. You are channeling doppelgangers!
Beautiful, all of them.
Hello,

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I'm glad these paintings connect with you!
The studies are so fresh and spontaneous with lots of movement. You've captured a candid moment in each.
As a lover of dogs, horse, family & nature, I enjoy your paintings and the thought of complete freedom they enspire in me. Thank you for sharing your passion!
Living in the moment and doing what we are put on earth to do is one of the best ways to bring joy to others. Thanks for your kind comments!
Beautiful, especially fond of number 4 & 6. Looks to be the same horse. Love the way the mane is executed in the bust of #6. Its an awesome little painting.
