a horse portrait work in progress

11 by 14 inch watercolor work in progress © Maria Reichert
Working on this one a bit today.  Took this photo as my daughter was riding, I was wandering around the farm, trying to get photos of the mares and foals in the field, but this mare wanted to see what I was up to and kept sticking her nose through the fence to check out my camera!

    I really love this extreme close-up...I had the same thing happen when I was photographing some cows once. Makes for a very cool composition! I like how you have handled the mane so far, too.

    Thanks Katherine, Dottie, Crystal and Judy! I am going to put this on the back burner for a time, work on a German Shepherd portrait. Trying to not over work it :)

    Beautifully done, Maria. I love the different colors running through the mane. As for horse photos, I have had my share of "nose shots", too!!! :)
