"Paint Pony"

"Paint Pony", oil on linen on panel, 6x6 inches

I have always loved paintings where the subject is backlit but have seldom painted one myself.

In this painting, "Paint Pony", I focused on 'simplicity' ... simple shapes being the main thought.

In November I'm doing a demo and teaching a portrait workshop  titled, "Simple Ideas: Powerful Paintings".  I thought it might be wise to take some of my own advice ... and had lots of fun painting this one.

This painting is available at Rustica Gallery.
