June 3 Update:
It's been a while so I figured I post another update on the horse painting. For this painting I used Flake White, Ivory Black, French Ultramarine Blue and a touch of Thalo Gree. Thalo Green alone is a very fugitive color, but mixed in with other colors in the background it adds just the right hue to complement the dark mane of the horse.
I have started a new painting for the Shea Therapeutic Riding Center's auction, which will take place in June. This center helps people with disabilities by offering them supervised riding classes that are geared to help address the various health problems they might have.
Since visitors to the center are all horse lovers, I wanted a pretty horse that might fit into any room and have chosen a photo by Tenebra Eluce of an Andalusian horse.
There will be some departures from the original photo as you can already see in the under painting.

A beauty! Good luck to you and the center, Enzie!
Looking really good - and for a great cause.
Wow, Enzie, this is going to be great. I love the detailing in the bridle.
My mother would like this too - she's a watercolorist who loves to paint horses. If you're interested, you can see one of hers at the bottom of this post http://shiborigirl.blogspot.com/search/label/travel

Wow this is amazing Enzie. I have a workshop at the farm opposite my cottage and they have 4 horses, yesterday I was taking a close look at them and it's true when people say that super models are the race horses of the human race. They are so elegant and must be a joy to paint.
