Right how he’s still in his blueprint of a stall, but don’t worry good buddy, we’ll have you in the real thing pretty soon. This painting makes me want to just grab and kiss that soft spotted muzzle! He reminds me of my own Charm’s face in the way the blaze slips off to the side and drops over his nostril. Ms Sassypants’ blaze also makes her look like she took a strong left hook from somebody…
I sometimes wonder, as I’m trotting down center line in a dressage test, if the judge is going to mark me down for the optical illusion of a crooked head… 😉

Thanks for the paint handling compliment! Gotta give some credit to the ink underneath, too. It’s a lot of work, but it adds invaluable texture to the finished painting.

Yes, and the best part is she is finally learning to look like that while carrying a rider.
