Me vs the horse
This how you need to paint when you get attacked by glare. ( on the floor )
In the process

glare!!

I am being attacked by the glare from the windows and the shine from the light bulbs!!

oh the perks of a apartment studio.

... and I continue too paint

Day 1

Day 1: The winner of the auction has called to get her winning prize! I am painting a picture of her daughters horse for christmas. Times Ticking!!

This is a picture of day one. "the block in stage". In this stage I just focus on blocking in the basic value, temperature and color as I think it should be the first time around. Then later ill go in and adjust, what need to be altered. This just lets me get a general idea and get paint on the canvas!

Worked on the new website tonight. The new transformation is slowly coming along. It should be up some time soon! Stay tuned.

Buggs

The art work below is a commissioned piece of the clients horse, Buggs. It served as a model in auction today to raise money for brain damage. The winner of the silent auction gets to have their very own painting of their horse done by me. The money then goes towards an organization to help people with brain tumors. This means there will be another horse painting project to come and I get to help people while doing art, what's better then that!

.... This is the process on the Commissioned horse piece. The last and final one has not been documented yet. It will be documented on a further date.

* the documentation has be photographed via cell phone
