acrylic painting of black horse, ready for the show arena

8 by 10 inch acrylic on canvas board,   © Maria Reichert 2011
Worked on this painting this week, reference photo form the last horse show my daughter went to.
Worked this in acrylic, feels like that medium is becoming a little more familiar!  May try it in watercolor as well.  Off to water the flowers before they wilt in this heat!

  1. The horse does have that anticipatory look in his/her eye!

  2. She is such a sweet little mare, have lots of pictures of her, you will see more paintings with Jackie O!

  3. Your last few paintings are amazing and I see such skill in your light touch! I love your blog and am following you. I sketch and need to bet back to playing with watercolors... I started photography to become a better painter... and haven't really gone back ... I guess I am my worst critic.
