The Charleston Summer Classics Horseshow was looking for something a little different for their cover this year. This is a quick sketch in oil on masonite that I'll be painting as a demo for the Ocala Art Group in the public library. My goal is to actually finish the painting in a matter of a few hours. I really like the looseness of this sketch and I want to maintain that only a little bit, well, a lot larger. The actual painting is roughly 16"x20". I had originally thought I would work on canvas, but I like the sketch so much that I decided to do the final on the masonite board as well. I'll publish the final painting after the demo.Here is another pastel portrait just completed for one of my most favorite customers. This is Elton. The final size of this piece is 16"x20".
And finally - here is Dakota. This is an 8"x10" oil on panel.

Can't wait to see the final painting for the poster. You have captured the movement of not only the horse but the ocean too!
Love the loose, free brushwork. I've been experimenting on Masonite as well, and it really lends itself to flowing movement.
