A Tribute-Mare

 Close ups

Acrylic on 12x9 gessoed art board.

Remember the cutting horse painting I posted 6 days ago on Nov. 8th? Well, This painting is for that same lady. It's a tribute painting for her friend who, sadly, just lost this 4 year old mare.

I used basically the same mixed media technique as I did on her Nov. 8th piece. The only difference being that I first applied gesso and let it dry showing the brushstrokes. They wind up showing nicely in the finished painting. I also toned the board with a red acrylic which helps to harmonize/unify the painting. And, yep, I also used a black Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen.

Hope you like it...let me know what you think...pro or con.

Something a little different for a change.
I didn't gesso the support as I normally do, so the surface was very smooth. I started it with colorful random washes...watching how they swirled and puddled on the slick surface. I applied thicker acrylics in some select areas. I like the expressionist color and paint movement.
I also used a black Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen.
This technique was very freeing and I enjoyed it!

This was painted for a lady in Texas. That's her on her cutting horse.

This is a re-do of one that I posted back on April, 19th. '09. I just wasn't satisfied with the proportions of the upper part of the girl rider. It's now improved some, but I'm still trying to decide if it's "right".
Overall, I added thicker paint with more color variations...that's something I do feel was improved.

The photo for this painting was supplied by Cyd for the WDE at Wet Canvas this week.
I'm generally happy with the light in this painting...and I especially like how the horse's head turned out. Hope you enjoy the painting.

It feels good to be posting again. I've been under the weather from something, but feeling a lot better now.

I'm always on the look-out for something a bit different. With that in mind, I really abandoned detail with this painting. I grabbed for emotive color and application. Painting knife and brush were both used. Hope y'all like it!
