5" x 5" Paint Horse
Hi Everyone!  This is quite a small piece for me, not a true miniature but..wow, needed extra strong glasses!!! Anyway, it is 5" x 5" and it is for the Ritzville Western Art Show in May. Each of we 50 or so artists were to create a signature piece in this size, which will be mounted all together and auctioned off the night of the artist's reception....Thanks for looking!
Sean

Re: 5" x 5" Paint Horse
Wow, Sean, that is pretty small, and the detail for that size is outstanding! You really captured a great feeling in this drawing...I assume it's graphite? The mane is beautifully done. Great work, and have fun with the auction!

Re: 5" x 5" Paint Horse
Thanks Jenna and Deb!
Yep, Jenna, Graphite on Strath Bristol Vellum! Thank you so much for the thumbs up! It was pointed out to me that I left a bit of a halo around the left side of the subject, so going to fix that for sure!

Re: 5" x 5" Paint Horse
Sean, great job on this one. While it may not qualify as a miniture, the headache one can achieve when working this small always qualifies as major. That flowing mane makes the whole thing work for me.

Re: 5" x 5" Paint Horse
Lots of fired up energy with the eyes and blowing mane. Excellent!

Re: 5" x 5" Paint Horse
What a nice piece. I would have never guessed it was so small with all that detail.
