This painting was inspired when I met a beautiful horse that is a purebred Canadian horse, a breed that until shortly before this meeting I had never heard of. He was a beauty and he definitely caught my eye. So much so we purchased his 3 year old son and are hoping that he will become a wonderful mountain horse for us.
So the painting ideas rolls around in my mind for a while and when I am ready with a clear plan I start drawing.. The drawing is fairly time consuming but when it is right I redraw it onto the canvas with graphite paper. From that point you can see the painting develop in these stages.

Nicely done Val! i swear it looks like you could just reach in there and unlatch that door and the Canadian beauty would walk right out.

Really nice painting I love how you have captured the life in the painting, may I ask what metals did you use for this painting?
Love the painting, its very bright loving, what materials did you use to create this effect? the personalty the painting is amazing.
Thank you for your kind comments. This painting was created using Golden acrylic fluid paints. This thinner paint allows for more detail. It is painted on canvas. Always fun to paint such beautiful animals.
