Listening my latest dressage watercolour using my favourite colour Windsor and newtons charcoal grey...

Listening will be 10" x 14" upon completion expressions are interest are being taken for this piece prior to both completion and it going on display at the Shoalhaven Dressage Championships mid November 2010

So far the riders jacket is completed and Ive started work on the saddle, saddle cloth and started laying the foundation wash for the bridle. I may come back and darken the riders jacket more once I have completed the horse.

Leg On - watercolour

Leg On

Next month I will be attending the local Dressage Championships as both an exhibitor and a sponsor.... one of the ideas that had been put forward to me previously was to create a piece that didn't depict the entire horse or even the rider as such.. but a part of the rider that would be familiar to both riders and none riders a like.

With this in mind I looked at various aspects the bridle, top and and cane and finally settled on the top boot... which is part of the clothing familiar to every one in the horse world.

Leg On is created using my favourite watercolour Charcoal Grey on white arches 300gsm hot pressed (smooth paper)

10" x 13"
$950.00 framed - $750.00 (unframed)

expressions of interest are being taken prior to the show on the 13th and 14th November.
