Miniature - Pony Portrait

Miniature Pony Portrait
3" x 4" Watercolour on board

I am at a one day fall show tomorrow, so am really pressed for time and I just wanted to post the final miniature pony portrait I started earlier this week.

I'm sort of pleased with the result, my sticking point being the background. If I had to do it again, I think I would changed the colour to a lighter, more muted blue. It seems to be fighting with the pony for presence right now.

Pencil Pony

SOLD

"Moorland Pony"
4"x6" Pencil Drawing, on wc paper

I am fighting off the last dregs of this flu and did up this drawing today...

I'm sure any young girl would love to label this fella her "BFF" Calm, steady, friendly and trusting, he'll keep all your secrets and cover you with light kisses. And what girl could possible resist that mane, not to mention those eyes!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends!!

Pony Hug

-SOLD-
"PONY HUG" • 5"x4.5" Watercolor on 100% rag board

Whew! I feel like I can sure use one of these this week!

I am working on 2 large paintings, (which I will preview here when I get a little further into them) and trying keep up with my small paintings.

Switching from a large format to small in the middle of a piece is really relaxing, and this one was quite fun to do. It is a happy painting, showing a grey welsh pony with a full mane, large, kind eye and cute face. The kind of pony any young horse crazy girl would love!!
