Kramer, Quarter Horse gelding watercolor painting

8 by 10 inch watercolor of Kramer, a Quarter Horse, Christmas portrait ©Maria Reichert
Another Christmas portrait, I was waiting to share with you.  This is the first year I had a deadline and multiple paintings to complete, and it was helpful for me to have to complete the painting and not procrastinate.  The family was very  happy with Kramer's portrait!

    Thank you Judy, Kramers owner is a teenage girl, and she was very pleased, and I KNOW that teenage girls can be hard to please :)

    Thanks Kathryn and Jen, a great photo makes all the difference, so much easier when you can see the value changes and don't have to create them, maybe that comes with time?

    Thank you Lee! I often feel as though my progress is a very squiggly line, moving backwards and forwards, so nice to have you see forward progress!
