"The Mighty" SOLD

'The horses paw and prance and neigh,
Fillies and colts like kittens play,
And dance and toss their rippled manes
Shining and soft as silken skeins...'
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

I'm sure I'm not the only girl who dreamed of owning a beautiful black stallion as a girl. I can't believe that this is actually the first one I've ever painted! Excluding those ones done in crayon and marker of course. ;) Horse girls everywhere are shaking their heads in disappointment of me.
This horse is the mighty Keegan Jewell, a truly magnificent Friesian stallion. I think I will have to paint a large one of him, just for me. To hang in my bedroom (that's right hubby, you heard me, a giant horse painting in our room!).
*Fess Up Friday: All kinds of questions keep running through my head lately about the direction I want to take my art. Medium? Subject? Size? These seem like such small concerns and yet, they will not leave me alone. I feel like I'm headed somewhere different, I just. . . don't know where. Anyone else ever feel like this? And what did you do about it? Inquiring minds want to know. Have a great weekend everyone.
*this is a new feature I'm thinking of starting. Because I know you all just can't get enough of the inner workings of my scattered mind. ;)
