I did a more traditional painting of this colt. I love the way it turned out. I have been keeping busy and have 29 new started paintings in the works. Should be interesting to see how they all turn out!
This fellow is a colt a friend of mine trained at the local racetrack. He has a unique habit of playing with his peppermints which he has an odd fascination with. He will twirl the candy around his tongue and make these funny slurpy sounds. Having character is not limited to the human race!
I have been creating art since I could hold a pencil and I sold my first painting when I was nine years old.
I strive to create animal portraiture that captures the essence of the individual.
