"Jim in the Stall" (16"X12", Oil on Canvas, SOLD)
This was actually a posthumous portrait. Jim had passed away and the owner's husband wanted to have this for his wife, to remember Jim by. His stall in the horsebarn was the place where he could normally be seen, so that's where he was depicted. I was instructed to get the horse's little moustache into the painting, as well as his way of looking straight-on at whatever had his attention. I worked from photos, and I think it turned out well. I like painting horses and I hope to do more portraits of them.
