Well, this is the finished painting
Quite a lot of work building up the shadows on the horses. They have so much muscle which has to be shaded correctly. in order to look right. Having stared at this painting for so long, I just can’t tell any longer if it looks right or not
As well as showing horses, I also wanted to show speed and independence of spirit which these animals possess in the wild.
I wanted to paint the flamingos from the Camargue as well but commissions are backing up which is a happy problem, so sadly flamingos may have to wait for a while
I have been asked to paint something for Egypt Equine Aid which I am pleased to do, which may well be one of my donkey paintings which I have not done for years, so that should be interesting. They have a Christmas auction but paintings have to be in in November so not that much time

Always a pleasure when an email pops up with your latest adventures. Good luck with your commissions. Kindest regards, Chris

Monsieur I think it’s high time you try your luck on animals. Your last collaboration with the rabbits had ended rather unexpectedly good.
