While I was in Gulfport, I picked up this commission. This is a 20" x 26" pastel painting. The weather wasn't the best and Olga (the horse), was a little nervous when we did the photo shoot, so I was surprised to discover that we had many really good shots to choose from. It was a tough decision, and I believe it took everyone's vote, but this was the pose they decided on. Alexis (the rider), is just a naturally beautiful girl. I think thats why it was so hard to choose from.
Last weekend I sat out at the Florida Horse Park and had a great show. I didn't really know what to expect, I've never participated in a 3-day event. But even though the economy is still on the skids and crowds were thin, I had one good sale that made my week end. I hope to pick up some commissions along the way, as well.
