Peek a boo


Peek A Boo

Been a while since I posted a blog .. will make sure to remedy that this year.. the last couple of months have been what you could call a write off ..


Finished Peek a Boo off this morning I decided to use a different paper from my usual canson pastel paper.. 
 
This time around I used art spectrum "colour fix" which is a little like working on smooth sandpaper giving the image a textured look.
 
Peek a Boo is  off to WA for an exhibition unless sold prior...

Thank you Katherine Waddington for the use of your photo ☺

Zac - work in progress



Zac - work in progress


Finally had a chance to work on Zac's portrait again today.. his face is coming together nicely and Ive blocked in his neck and plaits both on his neck and fore head.

I will continue working on the halter next and then his muzzle before starting on Zac's  neck.

Once Ive work on the entire drawing I will then decide how much it will need darkening

Fantasy

From time to time I like to work with a different palette of colours especially with black or dark coloured horses.

Fantasy was one of those such pieces.

Perlino

There are certain rescue groups that are dear to my heart... Being an owner of 3 brumbys' (Australias wild horses) brumby rescue is one that is very dear to my heart.

Once a year I create an original work for each of the 3 rescue groups I am a member of..These pieces are raffled or sold directly to help raise funds to help there efforts to save these beautiful horses..

Perlino is one of the young brumbys rescued by the Outback Heritage Horse Associations of Western Australia.  Drop by there website if you would like to read more about him is name is Digger.

Perlino will be offered for sale on the OHHAWA website shortly..

Im a Chip



Im a Chip

Well Im a Chip is finished.. as the event was a night time race it was important to give the illusion that his ears and the top of his head which being a bay would be almost invisisable against.

I also add a little more dark green behind him to make his legs stand out.

Im a Chip - work in progress

Ive started work on the drivers silks adding the darks to his jacket along with his white pants... The gig has been an interesting challenge with all those bits of unfamilar harnes...

Lastly Ive started blocking colour on  Im a Chip's  body giving direction to his muscles out lining the darks and lights

Freckles

And now for a touch of the equine and a lovely break from all those pop art pups..

Freckles is a private commission for a birthday gift.. I enjoy the challenge of all those spots and making sure the hair is travelling in the correct direction..  Horse coats seem to have hair going all directions.

Thank you Nikki for commissioning me to immortalise Freckles for you
