My concentration as of late has been strictly equestrian subjects.  Mainly, the gorgeous Andalusians, Friesians and Lusitanos.  Their unique body structure, personalities and overall strength and gracefulness is not only awe-inspiring but art-inspiring.  I have had an absolute dream painting these magnificent breeds and can not wait to jump into more this summer. 

This handsome devil I met in Grayslake, Illinois at an amazing dressage exhibit.  I loved his calm demeanor and his proud gait.  This guy was so much fun to paint and I kept my palette limited to grays and neutral browns to accentuate his "blingy" attire.
