My Latest Portrait

I am DONE!!! Finished! Finito! What, you ask? My latest portrait, that's what! I just had to share because this portrait was one I was really excited about doing it- first because the subjects are so beautiful; second because the commissioner is an artist and so can can appreciate the composition and lastly because I drew the portrait using photos I took myself....and I also just happen to be pretty happy with the finished piece, which is not common for me.

This is a photo of the piece.... the color is not right and some of the depth has been lost and the... *sigh*... you get the idea....

    Oh my gosh!!! That's gorgeous!! I have no talent to draw anything at all. It's so hard for me to fathom that some people can just pick up pen or pencil and draw something so beautiful. Really...absolutely beautiful!! I like the first commentor's idea about framing and matting. Do you need my mailing address, or do you still have it?? :)

    *Sigh* It IS gorgeous! I wish I had one tenth your talent in anything.

    Some day, I'll have to have you do Casey. I just don't have any great photos of him yet.

    Wow - that is awesome! As someone who can't even draw a stick figure horse, I can really see the work/talent that went into that piece.

    I would love to have you do a potrait of Rusty someday - but you'd have to take some creative license to make him look that majestic! lol (and maybe add in a mane and forelock! lol)

    Beautiful! What a wonderful job you have done. I am sure your client was overwhelmed. You should have your work in galleries, if you don't already. I am in awe my fellow artist.

    Wow...very nice. There is so much depth and texture...they pop right off the paper. Next year I will have to meet you at The Mane Event...I didn't know any blogger buds would be there. You can always come down for the big one in March...the NW Horse Expo in Albany, OR...that is usually pretty good.

    I wish I had known you back when my old App was alive. You would have been the perfect one to do his portrait.

    Now, I have memories- but nothing as stunning as this. Thank you for sharing it with us! (And maybe someday, we'll talk and have Sonny horse done!)
