Khaarga Romeo Oil Portrait 10x20

Finishing school was a major accomplishment but it feels rather like a major let down.You spend all that time pushing yourself beyond your preconceived limits and then your done.

No fanfare, just the absence of pressure. I got thinking about it and realized I spent an awful lot of time doing things I hated, statistics comes immediately to mind, and while I succeeded and achieved really good marks for my efforts it taught me a great lesson;

If I can spend copious amounts of time working at things I abhor, why not apply that work ethic to things I love? Welcome another from the neglected series. I photographed this colt probably 10 years ago. I always thought the picture would make a good portrait (never was a commission). I half heartedly started him but never completed him until now. I should contact the owner to see if he is even alive. If not, he will remain free at liberty on the wall of my studio.
