Red Simba - SOLD

I painted an oil version of the same horse I painted a couple of entries ago.  I do love my oils, and I definitely prefer this one.  Normally, I don't use a lot of Cadmium red.   I usually use only Quinacridone red.  I used a bit of both on this painting.  I painted the sides of the cradle with a mixture of Phthalo blue and Quinacridone red and drug some of the paint up onto the green (after the green had dried).  I like the effect!

Painting Ponies

I have embarked on a pony ride adventure of a different sort.  Growing up, I was obsessed with horses.  I drew them, subscribed to magazines, read books about them, bought figurines of them, and eventually wore my parents down to buying me one.  Simba was my Pinto, and this is one of the horse paintings painted with her in mind.  She bucked and threw me once or twice, but I did love her and she was beautiful.  Thank you, Simba.
