Sunny Dressage Horse

I am still "battling" with the sunroom dressage horse! I disliked the look of his mane and forelock running together (couldn't put my finger on it, it just wasn't right). So I thought I would just paint over that section and start again...HA! Yellow doesn't cover black very well, even if you seal it with gesso! Now I am thinking I may just throw some "stray hairs" in there and see how it will look.

If you look close at the photo, between his ears, you can see where I have attempted a cover up!

Longhorn progress

I have been slacking a bit lately! I have been painting "bits and pieces", but not photographing the steps as often.

The longhorn is progressing nicely. Some days I think to myself "this is easier because it is not someone's special animal, I don't have to get the expression exactly"!! Then a day later I'm thinking "this is not as easy, I don't have a longhorn in my pasture to look at if I am not sure of something that is not real clear in the photograph"!
