acrylic painting of horse and foal, Oklahoma City OK, "Breakfast with a View"

acrylic on canvas board, "Breakfast with a View" © Maria T Reichert 2011

Met this mare and foal on a farm outside Oklahoma City,  a quarter horse mare and her foal, I was taken by the morning light and how it played with the colors on these two horses.  Not sure if I am finished or not, I will look at it for awhile to decide if I will make any changes. Can't wait to paint again tomorrow, not sure what will be on the easel!

    Another beautiful piece. I love the light in this one and the way the mare is looking toward it. You captured a special moment in time.

    Thanks to all of you, so happy you like this, acrylic is still quite foreign to me, but so much fun! Set up a separate area of the studio for acrylic, so now I can move back and forth between acrylic and watercolor without swapping out supplies and brushes....Much easier now!

    A limited palette, yet very rich in color feel, and the light/shadow modeling so well done :)
