Peeling Apples Commission

I am working on a commission this week. I did a pastel of this photo a long time ago, like 15 years or better. The daughter of the lovely lady I did this for tracked me down and wanted another as her sis and her both wanted it after the loss of their mother.
We decided to do a painting this time. The subject is her great grandmother.
I love the photo and have been enjoying revisiting this grand lady.
At this point I am about halfway finished. The forms are starting to take shape but a whole lot of finishing left to do.

It would be going faster if the weather wasn't so perfect. I am spending every morning I can riding Miami so I don't even start working until after lunch. Rain is moving in tonight so that should speed up the painting. :)

Treasures and Treasuries

Today I am in two treasuries and an alternate for another. I swear I'm gonna learn how to do that one of these days.

Fine Artist's Autumn by OneWithWings features the ever popular Spirit Guides.

I still have prints available here.

Critter Creations by SlapHappyDrums.

Flaxen Mane Flying is the Spirit horse here.

And this is my treasure and the source of much inspiration, Miami. She has been at NE Horse Training. Elise has done a wonderful job with her.

 I have been going down this week to practice with her before I bring her home this weekend. Yeehaw.
